Abstract:
The present research work is intended to investigate note-taking strategies used by
third year License LMD English language students at Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia
University. It also aims to explore the effect of note-taking strategies on students’
performance in exams. To reach the above stated aims, it is hypothesized that third
year English language students use three types of strategies (abbreviations, symbols
and highlighting) to take their notes and that these strategies do not help them to
improve their performance in exams. To test the validity of these hypotheses, a
research study was carried out a study with (44) third year license LMD English
students out of (308) as a sample at Mohammed Seddik Ben Yahia University during
the academic year 2014-2015
