However, the effectiveness of repeated material presentations has not yet been proven satisfactorily. An empirical study therefore was conducted to test the following two hypotheses; (1) repeated presentations of material are effective for EFL learners’ listening, and (2) the effectiveness of repeated presentations is influenced by i) the length of the sentence, ii) the grammatical complexity of the sentence, and iii) the proficiency level of the learner. The subjects were 148 Japanese college students learning EFL. The results indicated that repeated presentations are indeed effective, although the degree of effectiveness varies with learners’ proficiency as well as material length and difficulty. Along with full description of the findings, some pedagogical implications are also mentioned., The Fourth Conference on Foreign Language Education and Technology July 28 to August 1, 2000}, pages = {583--591}, publisher = {Japan Association for Language Education and Technology}, title = {Repeated Presentations of Material: Is it Effective for EFL Students’ Listening?}, year = {2000} }
