This paper reports the findings of listening strategies employed by Indonesian EFL learners. Two objectives are addressed here: 1) identifying the difference in the use of strategies in learning listening skill between males and females, and 2) investigating the contribution of the strategies to the listening proficiency. The data were collected from 609 second year senior high school students from eleven institutions in East Java Indonesia. They were required to complete an 85 item questionnaire of fourteen categories of strategies to learn listening skill and a 10 item self-assessment of listening proficiency. The results of the analysis revealed that there is a statistically significant difference in the use of ten types of strategies by males and females, including resources-processing, interaction-based, scanning, metacognitive, selective attention, self-monitoring, compensation, input-output processing, self-negotiating, and context-based strategies. The analysis also indicated that the use of three types of strategies of learning listening skill, resources-processing, compensation and input-output processing strategies, contributed to the students’ listening proficiency significantly. Thus, strategies-based instruction focussing on the use of three most important strategies should be carried out in the teaching of listening skill.
