The Effect of Transcribing on Elementary Iranian EFL Learners’ Listening Comprehension

Abstract: This study is motivated by the gap existing between theory and practice in teaching listening. Most of the techniques used to teach listening putmore emphasis on top-down processing while listeners’ problems aremore of perceptive ones (bottom-up). In order to address the pervasivedecoding problem in listening, this study suggests using transcribingexercise as an input enhancement device and investigates its effect onbeginning learners’ listening ability. To this end, 31 learners participatedin the study. The control group did not have any transcribing practice while the experimental group received transcribing exercise. In the dataanalysis step, an independent samples t test was employed to compare the two groups. The results show that transcribing has a significant positiveeffect on beginning learners’ listening comprehension. The findings of the study as well as advantages of transcribing exercise are discussed. Implications of the study and scope for future research are also addressed.
