Listening comprehension is intricate and dynamic, as learners actively engage in reconstructing the original intention of the speaker by integrating new information with their existing knowledge. Schema theory plays a key role in emphasizing the importance of utilizing English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' existing knowledge to enhance their understanding of spoken discourse in English. This study aims to implement a suggested teaching strategy, rooted in schema theory, to enhance the listening skills of EFL university students. To examine the effectiveness of the suggested teaching strategy, a pre-post listening comprehension test was administered to both the experimental and control groups prior to and following the intervention. The results revealed that the teaching strategy based on schema theory effectively enhanced the experimental group students’ overall listening comprehension, as well as their proficiency in each specific listening skill. It can be concluded that EFL teachers should possess a deep understanding of students' schemata when instructing listening comprehension skills. Therefore, when teaching Saudi university students listening comprehension, it is crucial to consider factors such as their familiarity with the subject matter and its relevance to their background knowledge.
