Metacognition defined as the knowledge and ability to monitor and control cognitive conditions in the learning process (Flavell, 1979). Listening is the most important skill of the four language skills in both learning and teaching, and plays an important role in our daily life. Although nowadays there is a deeper perception of listening, it needs more attention and research. The present study investigates the relationship between the Metacognitive awareness and listening performance of English as foreign language learners to pave the way for new studies in future.

Code switching (CS) or the alternation of languages by bilinguals has attracted an enormous amount of researchers¿ attentions. Although many empirical and theoretical studies have been done in CS field, there have not been adequate studies in Iranian bilingual settings. Furthermore, studying on students¿ attitudes toward CS from personality traits (PT) perspective is completely a new topic all around the world. Based on a comprehensive survey of the literature, no similar study could be found in Iran and the world except for two research papers in non-educational setting in abroad. Due to this critical gap in CS, this book focused on the relationship between MA EFL students¿ PT including extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience sub-scales and their attitudes toward teachers¿ CS behavior in Urmia, Iran. In addition, the overall attitudes of students toward teachers¿ CS behavior were discussed. This book as a completely unique research in educational setting can help bilingual English teachers to reflect on their CS behavior, and also provides researchers and students with a coherent and up-to-date survey in this significant area.

Music opens the door to better language and literacy skills. By memorizing simple nursery songs, your child is exposed to new words. Songs create repetition and reinforce new words that your child is learning on a daily basis. The most important part of learning a language is talking with native speakers. The second most important part? Self-study. Songs are great for self-study because they make your study sessions fun. Having fun while you study is a really effective way to learn.
