Abstract
“Despite knowing word meanings, learners often struggle to identify individual sounds, particularly the endings “/t/”,”/d/”, and “/ed” in the simple past of regular verbs. This study addresses how a listening recognition strategy can help students distinguish such sounds by enhancing their listening comprehension and develop their phonological awareness. This research was carried out in a public middle school with second graders, and it employed a mixed method approach by collecting data through a pretest, a pos-test and a focus group. Findings indicate that attentive listening and regular practice may significatively improve students’ ability to recognize verb endings. The strategy not only refined participants' skills but also made learning more meaningful. Performance in assessments suggests that students could transfer their recognition skills to practical listening tasks. The study highlights the importance of implementing listening strategies to improve listening comprehension. Extended periods of listening practice to recognize specific sounds can offer positive long effects and produce an effective listening comprehension and language proficiency”.
