This cross-sectional survey investigates listening comprehension strategies that are used by English-honours undergraduate students of Myitkyina University to comprehend their listening texts. We adopted a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire, "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree," to generate data for this study, and we used descriptive analysis to calculate percentages, means, and standard deviation. The results show that the participants of this study prefer to use socio-affective strategies the most, followed by cognitive and metacognitive strategies. This trend offers valuable insights into why learners resort to bottom-up strategies more frequently than the top-down ones in learning English as a foreign language (EFL).
