The main aim of this study is to investigate the impact of note-taking strategy on EFL learners’ listening comprehension. Eighty participants were chosen to participate in this study. The participants were allocated to both an experimental (20 female and 20 male) and the control group (20 female and 20 male). The researcher used a listening comprehension test. The results revealed that there is a noticeable statistical difference (p<.05) between the means of the experimental and control groups in the listening post-test. This means that the note-taking strategy affects the EFL students' listening comprehension levels effectively and positively. The results of the t-test for the experimental group also show that there is an observed difference between the males’ and females’ scores regarding the impact of note-taking strategy on the participants’ listening comprehension in favor of the female learners.
