• Previewing questions alone did not appear to influence learners' listening comprehension performance — related
• Repetition of input yielded higher scores than previewing questions, but the two supports did not differ significantly in this study — related
• The four groups were homogeneous in general English proficiency before treatment (placement-test ANOVA sig .881) — related
• Group differences reached statistical significance on each of the three listening texts individually — related
