4.2 research questions
the main study aims to find answers to the following four research questions:
research question one: what effects do different listening conditions have on learners' listening comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition?
the four different listening conditions are:
(a) when they listen to the texts just once;
(b) when they listen to the texts three times;
(c) when they engage in a schema raising activity before listening to the texts three times; and
(d) when they engage in an inferencing strategy training before listening to the texts three times?
research question two: what is the relationship between learners' listening comprehension and incidental vocabulary acquisition from listening tasks under the same conditions as above?
research question three: what is the relationship between learners' metacognitive listening awareness and their listening comprehension from listening tasks under the same listening conditions as above?
research question four: what is the relationship between learners' metacognitive listening awareness and incidental vocabulary acquisition from listening tasks under the same conditions as above?
