No local research has been conducted on the nature of the Iranian tertiary level students' EFL listening comprehension problems or strategies. Therefore, no instrument is available to investigate these constructs. This paper reports the findings of a study that made an attempt to develop and test an instrument that will aid researchers identify students’ specific listening problems and listening strategy repertoire. The instrument was developed by integrating and validating the available instruments in the related literature. The two developed questionnaires were: the Listening Comprehension Problems Questionnaire (LCPQ) and the Listening Strategy Use Questionnaire (LSUQ) . Problems related to designing and testing this instrument is shared and the modifications made to it are presented. The instrument is expected to be useful for researchers interested to study the area of EFL listening in a similar setting.  \nKeywords: Questionnaire validation, EFL listening strategies, Listening problems  \n1. Introduction  \nStudies on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) listening skills usually focus on teaching listening strategies to language learners in order to address their listening problems (Goh, 2000; Hassan, 2000; Liu, 2002) . However, it should be noted that before we teach strategies to learners, we should understand their specific areas of difficulty as well as the strategies that they are already aware of. Unfortunately, research on the Iranian tertiary level students' listening comprehension problems and strategies is limited. As a result, no suitable instrument is available in the literature to support researchers in investigating these students’ listening difficulties and strategies.  \nThis paper reports the findings of a study in which two questionnaires, namely, the Listening Comprehension Problems Questionnaire (henceforth LCPQ) and the Listening Comprehension Strategy Use Questionnaire (henceforth LSUQ) were developed based on the available theory, literature, and previous similar instruments. The next section presents the procedure that was followed to develop and test the instrument.  \n2. Procedure  \nThe procedure that was followed in developing and testing the instrument included the following phases:  \n1. Reviewing the related literature,  \n2. Setting the ground rules for developing the instrument,  \n3. Constructing the questionnaires,  \n4. Modifying the questionnaires based on the feedback elicited from a panel of experts,  \n5. Field-testing the questionnaires on a random sample of the target students, and finally,  \n6. Refining the instrument.  \nWhat follows is a report of how the questionnaires were developed and then tested following the phases mentioned above.  \nALLS 5(3):63-69, 2014 64  \n3.
