ABSTRACT

Many studies have reported on the effects of listening instruction in the Korean context, but the reported results are not conclusive. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the overall effect of listening instruction for Korean L2 learners. This study also aims to examine the effects of listening instruction dependent on the different listening approaches, listening types, and individual activities across school levels. Through a comprehensive search on multiple electronic data bases, 138 primary studies were selected and 153 samples were coded into CMA software to calculate effect sizes by computing Hedge’s g. The results of this meta-analysis showed a medium effect on listening instruction for Korean L2 learners (ES = .594). Both the top-down and the bottom-up approaches have medium effects on listening instruction for Korean L2 learners. All types of listening (extensive, intensive, reactive, and selective listening) also have medium effects on listening instruction. The most effective activity of listening instruction in Korean context was found to be a shadowing activity. Detailed findings and pedagogical suggestions are also discussed.
