The current study is based on listening comprehension techniques applying bottomup listening strategies. In this study our first observations were addressed to eighth graders of a high school in Pereira where we found that the amount of listening practice was not sufficient to develop the learners’ listening skill. After observing this fact, we decided to implement bottom-up listening strategies to provide the learners with opportunities to receive listening input. Consequently, we formulated two questions that aimed to find answers to what learners’ perceptions were, and what the impact on learners’ listening skill was when applying bottom-up listening strategies. To answer these questions we applied qualitative research. The instruments that we used to collect data were field notes, video recordings, and questionnaires. The collected data was analyzed in order to obtain findings that gave answers to our research questions. Those findings were discussed based on what experts have written about the field to support and enlighten the results of our study
