ABSTRACT: Listening, which plays a vital part in foreign language learning, is a very important ability for language learners. But non-English majors in colleges have poor listening abilities, so the author carries out research on them. Metacognitive strategy is a higher-order executive skill which involves an ability of consciously using metacognitive knowledge to plan, monitor and evaluate the learning process among all the leaning strategies. In the paper, the author puts metacognitive strategy training into the non-English majors’ listening classes in colleges, for the purpose of helping them cultivate the capacity of using metacognitive strategies, improve their listening achievements and get into the habit of listening autonomously.
