Abstract
The present study aims at investigating the impact of EFL Working Memory Capacity
on Listening Comprehension. Since listening comprehension is considered as a
necessary skill for the overall mastery of English, students should have efficient
working memory capacity in listening comprehension in order to master the foreign
language the way natives do. Therefore, we hypothesize that raising second year
students‘ as well as teachers‘ awareness of the impact of working memory capacity in
listening comprehension enhances their performance in listening comprehension of
the English language.
