초록

This study investigated the relative contributions of linguistic knowledge and strategy useto L2 listening success, especially in bottom-up and top-down dominant listening tasks. Participants (n = 130) were Korean college students in a required listening course. Thetested variables for linguistic knowledge were sentence processing speed, grammar,receptive vocabulary, and productive vocabulary. Listening strategy use was measuredwith a metacognitive awareness listening questionnaire. We hypothesized that linguisticknowledge will make greater contributions to Bottom-Up-Listening-Comprehension(BULC) than to Top-Down-Listening Comprehension (TDLC), and different aspects ofstrategies will be accessed in each comprehension type due to different psycholinguisticfeatures of the tasks. A series of stepwise multiple regressions were conducted andconfirmed our prediction. The unique variance explained by linguistic knowledge was27.8% in BULC, but 22.4% in TDLC. Strategy items that address problem solving andmental translation were significantly related to BULC, while items dealing with directedattention and person knowledge had significant explanatory power for TDLC.
