Abstract

Listening is an essential aspect of our daily lives, but remains one of the most challenging language skills to master. This study explores the use of metacognitive listening journals with environmental themes in a class teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). The research assesses the effectiveness of listening journals, their incorporation of environmental subjects, and their suitability for educational purposes. The study used quantitative and qualitative approaches, including questionnaires and group interviews. The data analysis involved the utilisation of Likert scale and thematic analysis techniques. While previous research has underscored the importance of extensive listening, there has been limited exploration of the integration of environmental issues in EFL classrooms. Our study addresses this gap by focusing on learners’ perceptions of the efficacy of listening journals and the impact of environmental topics on their environmental awareness. The result revealed that most students have a positive perception of the use of listening journals in extensive listening that integrates environmental issues. Moreover, a significant proportion of students demonstrate a desire to engage in proactive measures aimed at safeguarding the environment
