Limitations of the study

The sample size is the first limitation to be pointed out in this study. The number of subjects may have been insufficient for factor analysis in some research questions in the questionnaire.

The listening comprehension strategies used to collect the data for this study is based on the findings of previous studies.

The study has not researched teachers’ opinion. The study examined the listening strategy use by

Hutech students only.

LISTENING COMPREHENSION STRATEGIES

Futher Research

Future studies may consider the following directions:

1. The present study needs to be carried out with large sample because the sample size was too small to generalize an overall conclusion applying to all English Foreign language learners.2. A standardized inventory of listening difficulties could be created to provide instructors and learners with an efficient way to diagnose strategy difficulties.3. The present study needs to be studied in different English learning contexts in other place in Vietnam.4. Further research needs to be conducted with more comprehensive samples including the primary, secondary, and high school levels in order to get a complete picture of the problem.It is hoped that the results of this study will contribute to improving the teaching and learning in the field of listening comprehension in Hutech University.
