Öz
Although listening is an important skill in English teaching, it has mostly been a neglected skill in secondary and high schools in Turkey. Turkish learners find learning English challenging because of the difficulties that arise from the pronunciation of English.
The failure of the Turkish learners in English learning period mostly brings about a nagging anxiety to learn English language over the learners. Cognitive, Metacognitive, and Socio-affective strategies can help the learners alleviate their anxiety to learn English.
Less proficient learners prefer bottom-up and cognitive strategies. Nevertheless , proficient learners prefer top-down and metacognitive strategies. Learning English may be a challenging period for EFL (English as a Foreign language) learners in non-natural environment.
