Abstract

The language skill of listening comprehension implies the processes that require great mental effort. Nevertheless, the development of this skill is facilitated for students by the use of language learning strategies, especially compensation strategies. Therefore, the aims of the qualitative research are to determine the students’ familiarity with compensation strategies and to discover whether and how the students use them while solving concrete tasks of listening comprehension. The research has been conducted on the sample of 7 sixth-grade students of primary school with advanced knowledge of English. The author has collected data using the methods of interview and think-aloud protocol. The research data have been analysed with the method of content analysis. The results of the research show that the students with advanced knowledge of English use compensation strategies, but they are not aware of them and they do not know how much the strategies can help them in mastering the listening skill. The pedagogical implications of this paper would refer to the training of students on compensation strategies so as to develop the listening comprehension skill.
