The study investigated the contribution of instruction on listening strategies and dictogloss for a learner of Japanese at the intermediate level. The instruction also included a journal of listening activities by the learner. A questionnaire on listening strategies and an interview about the course were conducted. The data showed increased use of listening strategies and perceived effectiveness of strategies. Learner's confidence in listening comprehension also increased through perceived improvement in note-taking and grammar skills by dictogloss. Such perception was supported by the progressive reproduction rate in the texts with increased difficulty, suggesting improved listening skills.
