Learners with a low-level L2 proficiency were randomly assigned to an experimental group where they were allowed to control the listening process through audio control tools and a control group that was not allowed such control. Both groups listened to a 13.56-minute-long story on a mobile phone. Before listening, the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) was administered. After listening, the participants were given a recall task and unannounced vocabulary tests. The results indicated that the participants who were allowed to regulate their listening preferred global and analytical listening strategies equally during the first listening while they tended to utilize analytical strategies during the second listening. The findings did not show any advantages of self-regulation for either text recall or incidental vocabulary learning. Finally, different patterns of relationships were observed between the learners’ reported metacognitive strategy use and their recall and incidental vocabulary learning scores as well as the amount of time they spent on the listening task}, number={1}, publisher={Boğazici University}
