Finding out the effect of triangle listening strategy on EFL Iraqi intermediate pupil's listening comprehension.Finding out the effect of triangle listening strategy on EFL Iraqi intermediate pupil's reading comprehension. To achieve the aims of this research and verify its hypotheses, non-randomized control Group pretest -posttest have been chosen.

Both groups have been equalized in such variables as parents' academic attainment, pupils' scores in previous schooling years, and the pretest of both groups. A posttest contains five questions, which are constructed to collect data. Face and content validity have been achieved. The reliability coefficient has been verified, and the researcher herself teaches both groups. The data is collected from the results of the posttest have been analyzed statistically by using a t-test for measuring the pupils' performance. The results show that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group and control group in posttest. Moreover, there is a statistically significant difference between the mean score of the experimental group in pre and posttest. which indicates that triangle listening strategy is more effective than the prescribed method.
