This paper reviews the relationship between English listening and metacognitive strategies. Metacognitive strategy as an important learning strategy shows obvious correlation with second language learning effect. This review introduces many researches on metacognitive strategies and its several basic developmental processes in second language acquisition. The application of metacognitive methods in English listening learning is explored in three aspects by examining and summarizing prior researchers' experiments: the many modalities of metacognitive strategy usage, the disparities in metacognitive strategy use between unskilled and expert students, and the link between metacognitive methods and English listening performance. The review of studies on the relationship between English listening and metacognitive methods leads to a general conclusion. Metacognitive methods can help students improve their English listening proficiency. This study hopes to guide English teachers to emphasize the teaching of learning strategies and English learners should emphasize the use of metacognitive methods by demonstrating their facilitative influence on English listening learning.
