Factors That Affect Reconstructing Lexical Meaning in Listening Comprehension
This research examines factors that affect reconstructing lexical meaning in listening comprehension. There is not much research examining affective factors in reconstructing vocabulary meaning in listening comprehension for EFL learners. Therefore, this study aims to find out some factors that affect language learners' word decoding to understand the overall meaning of a listening passage. A mixed-methods approach was used to investigate the elements in both quantitative and qualitative ways. To find out affective factors and apply the findings for better teaching listening directions, this study deals with 3 research questions: 1) What effect did a variety of listening passage variables have on the number of words that participants were able to identify? 2) Did the number and type of words identified have an effect on general understanding? 3) What were the participants' perceptions of the variables in each listening activity?
