Abstract
Through a listening strategy questionnaire and a listening test, it is investigated and analyzed what the condition of 180 non-English specialized undergraduates' listening strategy use is. The findings in this study indicate that non-English specialized undergraduates employ listening strategies at a medium frequency level(Mean=3.10); that the listeners most frequently use cognitive strategies, followed by the meta-cognitive strategies and the social/affective strategies; that the means of listening strategy use by high proficiency subjects are all higher than those of the low proficiency ones; that females use the total listening strategies at a higher frequency level than males; and that listening strategy use condition has positive correlation with their listening proficiency.
