As the listening comprehension skill is one of the most essential skills in any languages, the present researchers attempted to probe the probable problems that Iranian EFL learners may come across with while they are learning English. Therefore 40 female English learners from Shokouh English Institute were randomly selected. Through administrating the NELSON English language proficiency test, listening comprehension strategies questionnaire and listening comprehension test, this study was carried out. Statistical analysis indicated that there is a significant relationship between Iranian EFL learners` awareness of listening comprehension strategies and their capability in English listening comprehension. That is, the more they were aware of the mentioned strategies, the better listening comprehension ability they had.
