Abstract

In this study, the impact of prosodic features (PFs) on the listening skills of IELTS test takers has been investigated. In total, 95 male and female students from Kirkuk/Iraq Institute participated in the study. The sample was split evenly across three experimental groups and a control group. The experimental groups were told to identify PFs. The control group was taught listening skills in general without any form of PF from the researcher. Because of the difference in instruction, the experimental groups' mean scores were significantly higher than those of the control group.
