This study aims to examine the listening strategies employed by low-proficiency learners while performing mock TOEIC listening tests and to identify the strategies they used for the test questions. A total of 10 participants out of 42 were chosen for stimulated recall protocol interviews. Verbal reports from each participant were categorized using a taxonomy, and each strategy employed by participants was classified according to the type of listening task. Results from the stimulated recall protocol interviews indicated that participants utilized strategies such as identification of words or chunks, match lexis heard with lexis in the question, monitoring against the question and hypothesis formation to derive answers during the question and response task. The frequency and efficacy of the strategies employed to assist them in reaching their answers were markedly different. Learners with limited language proficiency faced difficulties in employing listening strategies to solve listening problems.
