T





he current study delves into enhancing EFL listening comprehension skills through a suggested programme based on Cognitive Load-Management Strategies among prospective English teachers. The participants included 60 4th-year students from the Faculty of Education, Menoufia University, who were divided into two equal groups: an experimental group (N=30) and a control group (N=30). The researchers prepared a listening comprehension pre-posttest, a listening skills checklist, and a suggested programme based on Cognitive Load-Management Strategies. The experimental group was taught using the suggested programme during the second semester of the academic year 2022/2023, while the control group received the regular instruction. Findings proved that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups in favor of the experimental group after using the suggested programme.
