Abstract

Teachers' use of strategies in English language learning has become a topic of research interest in recent years. Strategies are needed in teaching listening to teenage EFL learners; teachers can use Bottom-Up and Top-Down strategies. This research explores teachers' strategies in listening lessons for teenage EFL learners. Design in a case study, two senior high school teachers volunteered to participate in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observation. The data were analyzed with a thematic analysis model. The findings of this study show that bottom-up could help learners enrich their vocabulary through vocabulary lists and missing lyrics. They also felt that using bottom-up strategies in teaching listening to teenage learners could help develop pronunciation, grammar, and detailed information in the audio. The teachers also used a top-down strategy to help the teenage EFL learners predict overall information, reconstruct meaning, and identify the main idea. These two strategies can meet the diverse needs of teenage learners, develop learning motivation, and develop an understanding of language skills. Other findings also demonstrate that the teachers encountered obstacles, such as students’ difficulties in understanding new words and grammar and lack of adequate audio equipment in teaching listening; this study concludes with some pedagogical implications for how teachers use efficient strategies to teach listening to teenage EFL learners.
