Özet:

The ability to listen is the ability to acquire between the four language skills (hearing, reading, speaking, writing). This study aims to eliminate the problems that students who are studying in the 9th grade of the Anadolu High School encounter in their English language skills by teaching them how to use language learning strategies before listening. The research has been addressed by the action research method included among the quality research methods. The research work group consists of 34 students who continue their studies at a high school in the center of the province of Afyonkarahisar in the 2018-2019 educational year. The research data is collected with semi-configured interview form, observation form, research-applicating logs. In the analysis of the data, the visual analysis was used. The data obtained from interviews and observation forms and daily shows that students who begin to use pre-hearing language learning strategies have much higher motivation to listening activities, and that this motivation has a positive impact on the listening process and after-hearing activities. It is also observed that students who perform the listening activity using pre-hearing strategies know much better what to do during the listening, and they do the activities much more correctly.
