However for many students, it is the most demanding and is therefore a skill that needs a considerable amount of practice and training. This paper is meant to deal with listening comprehension from the viewpoint of relevance theory due to its powerful explanation for the nature of listening and its practical application of some relevance-based strategies. It is aiming to establish a strong linkage between theory and practice by illustrating how an instructional model can originate in theory and research and move toward classroom practices that are useful, understandable, and effective for teachers and for students. In the suggested relevance-based strategic model, a number of positive strategies are approached, ranging from linguistic to non-linguistic strategies, which are important in helping students become better language learners and in improving listening teaching.展开更多
