@article{oai:icu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00002663, author = {Hatakeyama, Yukako}, journal = {語学研究, ICU Language Research Bulletin}, month = {}, note = {By analyzing the data of listening journals (LJs) written by the students in the author’s two Listening Skills and Strategies classes in winter 2010, this paper attempts to describe their extensive listening behavior, to illustrate the popular listening materials among them, and to reveal their approaches for the assignment. It was found that, as genre, the students liked to listen to news, lectures/presentations, and movies, and that the tendencies of their choice somewhat differed according to their English proficiency and gender. The popularity ranking of listening materials was compiled as well. The reasons for their choice of materials uncovered, to some extent, their attitudes and approaches toward LJs. Interpretations of the findings and implications for future studies are discussed.}, pages = {1--12}, title = {What Do Students Listen to and Why?:Exploratory Analyses of Students’ Listening Journals}, volume = {26}, year = {2012} }
