Abstract
Pragmatic Listening Comprehension (PLC), as a complex process, is influenced by various cognitive, psychological, contextual, social, cultural, and linguistic factors. To make a stride toward understanding the role of such factors in PLC, the present study sought not only to scrutinize to what extent PLC was associated with language proficiency, Self-Regulated Learning in Listening (SRLL), and Willingness to Communicate (WTC) but also to examine an empirical path analysis model to predict PLC through language proficiency, SRLL, and WTC. To this aim, a group of 269 upper-intermediate and advanced level Iranian EFL learners, whose ages ranged from 19 to 34, participated in the study by answering the 40-item pragmatic multiple-choice discourse completion test (MDCT), as well as the valid and reliable questionnaires of SRLL and WTC. The results of correlational analyses revealed that PLC was significantly and positively associated with language proficiency, SRLL, and WTC. These findings were further approved in the path analysis model; language proficiency, SRLL, and WTC were significant positive predictors of PLC. The path model disclosed the significant prediction of PLC in terms of the three independent variables of the study. Based on these results, relevant pedagogical implications were proposed with the aim of enhancing the pedagogical knowledge and practice of key educational stakeholders.

Abstract [Persian]
درک شنیداری منظورشناسی زبان(PLC) به عنوان یک فرایند پیچیده، تحت تأثیر انواع عوامل شناختی، روانشناختی، بافتی، اجتماعی، فرهنگی و زبانی قرار میگیرد. جهت درک نقش این عوامل در PLC، مطالعه حاضر به دنبال بررسی و یافتن ارتباط بسندگی زبانی، یادگیری خودتنظیم در گوش دادن (SRLL) و تمایل به برقراری ارتباط (WTC) درPLC است. برای این منظور، گروهی متشکل از 269 زبانآموز EFL ایرانی سطح متوسط به بالا و پیشرفته (153 مرد و 116 زن) با پاسخ دادن به 40 آیتم چند گزینهای درک کاربردی زبان (MDCT) و همچنین پرسشنامههای معتبر و قابل اعتماد از SRLL و WTC در این مطالعه شرکت کردند. نتایج تجزیه و تحلیل همبستگی نشان داد که PLC به طور معنیدار و مثبتی با سطح بسندگی زبان، SRLL و WTC ارتباط دارد. علاوه بر یافتههای مربوط، مدل تجزیه و تحلیل نیز ترسیم شد. بر اساس نتایج بدست آمده، توانش زبانی، SRLL و WTC پیش بینی کنندههای مثبت قابل توجهی برای PLC بودند. بر اساس نتایح این پژوهش مفاهیم آموزشی مربوط با هدف افزایش علمی و عملی بحث به ذینفعان کلیدی آموزشی ارائه شده است.
