Abstract	The present study aimed at exploring the effectiveness of using Metacognitive strategy in developing preintermediate university students' EFL listening comprehension skills. It was hypothesized that using metacognitive strategy based instruction would develop students' EFL listening comprehension skill and its sub-skills. The participants were 58 female, Iranian beginner EFL students, studying English translation and teaching in University of Tonekabon branch, Tonekabon, Iran. After selecting the participants through the TOEFL's listening section as the pre-test, 49 of them were selected and randomly divided into experimental (N=24) and control (N=25) groups. Besides the Nelson's listening section, the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) adapted from Vandergrift, Goh, Mareschal and Tafaghodtari (2006) was also administered to both groups. After a period of 10-session strategy instruction to the experimental group based on Vandergrift and Tafaghodtari (2010) model of strategy instruction, the experimental and control group's listening performance were compared using the Nelson's listening section as the post-test. Moreover the MALQ was also administered to the experimental group at the end of the treatment in order to investigate the effectiveness of the treatment. Findings of the study were statistically dealt with the Statistical Package for the Social Science software (SPSS) version 17. T-value, mean scores, standard deviation, and degree of freedom were calculated. It was found out that the experimental group achieved more gains in their EFL listening comprehension skill and each sub-skill due to using the explicit language learning strategy instruction.
