Abstract: Listening is considered to be the most important skill since it is the first skill that human being acquired but unfortunately it is regarded as an ignored skill in the process of teaching English in Iraqi schools and as a result Iraqi learners are not well prepared to understand the English spoken language when the speakers speak too fast, pronounce the word in different way, or when the speakers use different accents. Besides, Iraqi learners do not use their background knowledge to comprehend what was said and they don't have opportunities to practice since there are many schools who don't have laboratories and sound devises which help the learner to listen and practice. Therefore, teaching listening skill is the most difficult task since the learner faced difficulties with this skillThe present study aims to investigate empirically the impact of using specific pre - listening activities on Iraqi EFL learners ’ listening comprehension.To achieve the aims of the study, null hypothesis have been proposed : There is no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught listening comprehension by using specific pre - listening activities and that of the control group who is taught listening comprehension using the method recommended by the Teacher's Guide.The present study adopted the experimental design nonequivalence Pre Post - Tests with control groups. The random sample consists of 58 learners of 5th grade female learners in scientific branch of the secondary schools Maryam Al - Adhra for the academic year 2016 - 2017. The experiment started on the 26th of February and ended on 25th April, 2017 i.e., so it lasted eight weeks.The validity of the test and lessons plan for experimental and control groups have been obtained by exposing to a group of experts in the field of ELT and linguistics. Then, after piloting the test, the reliability of the test is achieved by using Alpha Cronbach formula. The two groups of learners are taught by the researcher herself. Only the experimental group is taught by using pre - listening activities, while the control group is taught according to the method recommended by the Teacher's Guide.The results reveal that there is a statistical significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group who is taught listening comprehension using specific pre - listening activities and that of the control group who is taught listening comprehension using the method recommended by the Teacher's Guide.The present study recommends the teacher of English to prepare the learners by using different activities which activate the learners to use their background knowledge in order to foster the reception of new language input as well as to give the learners enough opportunities to listen to the native speakers.The present study also suggests a similar study can be conducted the effectiveness of using post listening activities on listening comprehension.

Iraqi EFL university instructors whose years of experiences 20 - 30 use politeness strategies for interaction more than 10 - 20 and 1 - 10.4. Iraqi EFL university students have sufficient awareness concerning politeness strategies used by their instructors for interaction.5. Iraqi EFL university students have sufficient application of politeness strategies used for interaction.6. Iraqi EFL university students according to their gender are the same in using politeness strategies used for interaction.In the light of the results obtained as number of recommendations are put forward, and several suggestions are also proposed for further studies

Abstract: تعد ستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة من افضل واصح الطرق لدارسي اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبيه وتعد واحدة من العناصر الرئيسية والمهمة لدارسي اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبيه لتحقيق اهدافهم في اتقان اللغة الاجنبية وثقافتها لان هذه الاستراتيجيات تكون الجزء الاساسي في تطوير النظام اللغوي الذي يبنيه المتعلم وتؤثر في التعلم بصورة مباشرة. ولكن نجد طلابنا ليس لديهم فكرة او اعتقاد لاستخدام ستراتيجية محددة يعتقدون بفائدتها اوطريقه محددة من طرائق التدريس ويربطون بينهم لانجاح مهمة التعليم والتعلم. تهدف الدراسة الحالية الى تحديد ستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة الانكليزية للطلاب المعلمين ووصف اعتقاداتهم اتجاه تعليم منهجيات في اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبية والعلاقة بينهم. لتحقيق تلك الاهداف طبقت في هده الدراسه استبانه تالفت من مقياسين (1) لمسح استراتيجيات اللغة (نسخة 7.0 لدارسي اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبيه او ثانيه اكسفورد, 1990 ) و(2) اعتقاداتهم اتجاه منهجيات تعلم الانكليزية (Chen, 2005). وقدمت الى 102 من الطلاب المعلمين في قسمي اللغة الانكليزية بكليتي التربية الاساسية في الجامعتي ديالى والمستنصريه للعام الاكاديمي 2015 - 2016. ان تحليل البيانات الكمية في الدراسة الحالية طبق القياس الوصفي بالاضافة الى التحليل الاستنتاجي ويتكون من تحليل التباين ومعامل ارتباط بيرسون واستعمل لملاحظة العلاقة بين ستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة والاعتقادات اتجاه تعليم المنهجيات. فيما يتعلق بستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة تشير النتائج الى ان استخدام هؤلاء الطلاب المعلمين لستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة لتعلم الانكليزية تقريبا مرتفع في كثير من الاحيان ولو بشكل غير متساو حسب القيمة التائية وكانت قيمتها (3,36 ) . وايضا تشير النتائج ان الطلاب المعلمين اعتقادهم اتجاه منهجيات التعليم هو تفضيل طريقة تعليم اللغة التواصلية(CLT )على طريقه اللغات الصوتية(ALM). ومن هذواجد ان هؤلاء الطلاب المعلمين ستتبنى نظريات اللغة من كلا الطريقتين التي ذكرت سابقا. بينما نتائج العلاقة بين ستراتيجيات تعلم اللغة لطلاب المعلمين واعتقاداتهم اتجاه منهجيات التعليم تشير ان هناك علاقه ذات دلاله احصائية ومع ذلك كانت الارتباطات صغيره بامكاننا القول ان هناك علاقه ايجابيه موجوده بين ستراتيجيات التعلم واعتقادات التعليم. تلك النتائج يمكن ان تؤخذ بالفائدة للمعلم, في خطة المؤسسات التربوية , في تطوير وبناء المناهج والمواد التعليمية. ايضا هذه الدراسة تزود الباحثين والمعلم التربوي بمعلومات لفهم كيفة تعلم الطالب المعلم او المتعلم بصوره عامه للانكليزية وكيفة استخدامهم لمنهجيات تعليم اللغة الانكليزية لغة اجنبيه في تعليم طلابهم مستقبلا, وكيف هؤلاء المعلمين يمارسون التعلم واعتقادات التدريس وعلاقة بعضها البعض. | Strategies language learning are the best and right way to learn a foreign language and also are considered one of the key and important elements for EFL students to achieve their goals of mastering the foreign language and its culture, because, they are an essential part of the improvement of the language framework which the learner develops. Unfortunately, our student - teachers have no idea to use a certain strategy or a certain method of teaching and linking them to the success of the teaching and learning mission. The current study was an attempt to explore student - teachers' English Language Learning Strategies and their convictions towards EFL teaching methodologies. In addition, the relationship among these student - teachers' English language learning strategies and their beliefs towards EFL teaching methodologies were also investigated. To achieve these aims, a survey was conducted. The questionnaire of the study consists of two measures : (1) strategies inventory for language learning (version 7.0 for ESL/EFL, Oxford, 1990), and (2) beliefs toward English teaching methodologies (Chen, 2005) handed the sample of the study covers 102 student teachers, from the English language Department at College of Basic Education in Al - Mustansiriah and Diyala University for the academic year 2015 - 2016.To analyze the quantitative data of the current study, descriptive as well as inferential analyses including ANOVA and Pearson's correlation coefficient were utilized for the purpose of investigating connections between language learning strategies and beliefs toward teaching methodologies. Concerning English language learning strategies, the outcomes indicated that these student - teachers used language learning strategies to learn English in almost a high frequency (T.Value=3.36). Also, the results indicated that student - teachers in teaching beliefs toward EFL methodologies preferred Communicative Language Teaching to the Audio - lingual Method. In the light of these results, it was found that these student - teachers would adopt language theories from both CLT and ALM. While the results showed the relationship between student - teachers' language learning strategies and their teaching beliefs were statistically significant correlations. Nevertheless, the correlations were small. We can say that there is a positive relationship between learning strategies and teaching beliefs
