In this study, an attempt was made to examine the effects of previewing questions, repetition of input,
and topic preparation on listening comprehension of Iranian learners of English. The study was
conducted with 104 high school students in 3 experimental and one control groups. The participants in
the previewing questions group read the comprehension questions before hearing the text and
answering the questions. The topic preparation group took advantage of topic-related texts in Persian
followed by previewing questions; then they listened to the texts and answered the questions. The
repetition of input group had two hearings with previewing before each hearing that preceded
answering the comprehension questions. The control group, however, only had one hearing before
answering the questions. The results obtained from data analysis showed that the topic preparation
group performed better than the other participating groups. The repetition group, in turn, did better
than the previewing group. There was, however, no statistically significant difference between the
previewing and repetition groups. Based on the results obtained, it can be argued that providing and/or
activating background knowledge and repeating a listening task might facilitate listening
comprehension in EFL classroom settings. The findings and pedagogical implications of the study are
discussed in detail.
