Metacognition is known to be important for L2 listening comprehension. However, it is unclear how much variance in listening performance it can explain after controlling for vocabulary knowledge. To examine this, data from the listening section of the TOEFL Junior test, the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ), and the Listening Vocabulary Levels Test were collected from 76 high school EFL learners in Japan. The MALQ measured five subscales of metacognition representing metacognitive skills and metacognitive knowledge. Representing skills, the MALQ measured perceptions of the ability to (1) plan and evaluate performance, (2) direct attention, and (3) overcome listening problems. Representing knowledge, it measured strategic knowledge of (4) avoiding mentally translating speech and person knowledge of (5) maintaining positive attitudes about listening. The descriptive results showed that participants used their metacognition moderately. Of the subscales, they directed attention the most, planned and evaluated performance least, and perceived their ability to avoid mental translation, solve problems, and maintain optimism equivalently. The results from the hierarchical regression analysis further showed that vocabulary knowledge and metacognition overall predicted listening performance. Of the MALQ subscales, only person knowledge predicted comprehension. These findings indicate that, contrary to earlier findings, metacognition was important for listening comprehension after accounting for vocabulary knowledge.

词汇知识控制后二语听力与元认知的关系探讨

众所周知,元认知对二语听力理解很重要。然而,在控制词汇知识后,尚不清楚它可以解释多少听力表现的差异。为了检验这一点,我们从日本 76 名高中 EFL 学习者那里收集了来自 TOEFL Junior 考试听力部分、元认知意识听力问卷 (MALQ) 和听力词汇水平测试的数据。MALQ 测量了代表元认知技能和元认知知识的五个元认知分量表。MALQ 代表技能,衡量对以下能力的感知:(1) 计划和评估绩效,(2) 直接关注,以及 (3) 克服听力问题。代表知识,它测量了(4)避免心理翻译语音的战略知识和(5)保持积极倾听态度的人的知识。描述性结果表明,参与者适度使用了他们的元认知。在子量表中,他们的注意力最多,计划和评估的表现最少,并且感知到他们避免心理翻译、解决问题和保持乐观的能力相当。层次回归分析的结果进一步表明,词汇知识和元认知总体预测听力表现。在 MALQ 分量表中,只有人的知识可以预测理解。这些发现表明,与早期的发现相反,元认知在考虑词汇知识后对听力理解很重要。描述性结果表明,参与者适度使用了他们的元认知。在子量表中,他们的注意力最多,计划和评估的表现最少,并且感知到他们避免心理翻译、解决问题和保持乐观的能力相当。层次回归分析的结果进一步表明,词汇知识和元认知总体预测听力表现。在 MALQ 分量表中,只有人的知识可以预测理解。这些发现表明,与早期的发现相反,元认知在考虑词汇知识后对听力理解很重要。描述性结果表明,参与者适度使用了他们的元认知。在子量表中,他们的注意力最多,计划和评估的表现最少,并且感知到他们避免心理翻译、解决问题和保持乐观的能力相当。层次回归分析的结果进一步表明,词汇知识和元认知总体预测听力表现。在 MALQ 分量表中,只有人的知识可以预测理解。这些发现表明,与早期的发现相反,元认知在考虑词汇知识后对听力理解很重要。并意识到他们有能力避免心理翻译、解决问题和保持乐观。层次回归分析的结果进一步表明,词汇知识和元认知总体预测听力表现。在 MALQ 分量表中,只有人的知识可以预测理解。这些发现表明,与早期的发现相反,元认知在考虑词汇知识后对听力理解很重要。并意识到他们有能力避免心理翻译、解决问题和保持乐观。层次回归分析的结果进一步表明,词汇知识和元认知总体预测听力表现。在 MALQ 分量表中,只有人的知识可以预测理解。这些发现表明,与早期的发现相反,元认知在考虑词汇知识后对听力理解很重要。
