4、的不同之处。在当今这个社会,英语以成为世界语言,怎样学好英语怎样，已经是一件重要的事。其中，听、说、读、写、译是英语学习的五种重要技能。长期以来，许多英语学习者对听力学习的重视程度不够。殊不知在英语学习中，听、说、读、写，等方面是相辅相成，不可分割的，忽略其中的任何一方面都不利于英语学习水平的提高。我们要和别人交流就要说话，当然就要听懂。如何轻松的听懂英语，使英语的听力变的轻松起来。我们虽然在大学学习英语，但是有个别同学的听力仍然没有提高，我相信上课的听力学习是远远不够的，因此，我们也要注重课下的听力理解训练。指导学生课外进行泛听。听力课时有限，每周一节的听力课不能保证有效地提高学生的听力技能

We must learn from the others, and understand each other. We study English at the university, but individual schoolmates listening comprehension is sti
11、ll not very effectively improved. I believe listening practice in class was so far insufficient; therefore, we have to pay great attention to the listening comprehension out of class or after class. The listening class hours are limited. Listening class once a week cannot effectively enhances studen
12、ts listening skill. The teacher should instruct the student to listen to English radio programs, to watch English television programs and English video recording, to listen to English songs and so on, which help the student get familiar with different voices, ages, local pronunciations, to expand kn
13、owledge, to acquire the language feel, to enhance reaction capacity and to achieved the goal of enhancing their listening.Before I go on to describe the argument for listening and how to carry out the English listening practice, I would like to say a few words on my students goals and needs.1) 25% o
14、f the group use English with Americans and British people on a regular basis at work.2) 50% of the group are learning English so as to use it in an English speaking country and 25% to live and work there.3) 87.5% put it as a specific goal to understand native speakers and speak fluently. (The other
15、12.5% put it as a specific goal to speak like a native speaker.)This shows a great need and desire to practice and to be trained in listening comprehension, particularly with authentic materials featuring native speakers speech and a need to be presented with and become aware of the features of thes
16、e: stress, intonation, weak forms, elision, assimilation, catenation, using fillers, pauses, repetition, self correction, interruptions and all the discourse features used to signal a speakers intention.Some of these features are of particular importance to the students. Being Chinese, as there is a
17、 noticeable difference between Chinese and English in terms of word and sentence stress, intonation and weak forms.1.1 Learning English should follow the principle from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, and from rough to subtle. A journey of a thousand Li starts beneath ones feet. We should
18、 try to avoid pursuing whats beyond our reach in English learning. If we choose and study some difficult, complex, subtle materials at the very beginning with the hope of having better effect, it is proved to be a wrong attitude by practice. If learning materials go far beyond learners actual langua
19、ge level, such challenges arent desirable and just making learners frustrated and painful. It is the worst thing that learners interest and confidence are destroyed by unsuitable materials. If some English works seem too difficult, complex and subtle to us, I must point out, it lies in our lack of s
20、imilar life experiences apart from the obstacles of language itself (vocabulary and grammar). Because were in too low life levels with too superficial thoughts, its natural we fail to understand the profound meaning of those articles1.2 Learning English should follow the natural sequence of listenin
21、g prior to speaking, reading prior to writing, accumulating prior to applying.Absorb more language materials according to your actual level and interest in your English learning. With your open mind, absorb as much as you can, and accumulate rich language materials as many as possible, such as Engli
22、sh songs, novels, newspapers, magazines, movies, etc.As input and accumulation, listening and reading function as observation-based learning. Try to imitate very pronunciation and intonation, every word and sentence from the rough to the subtle with a natural attitude. It varies with each individual
23、 when to rest for a period of time and let those input language materials processed in the brain according to the individual character.Listening and reading is half of a full circle, complemented by speaking and writing as the other half, and with both given the same attention. Keep Circulating arou
24、nd the circle so that you can constantly improve your ability in English listening, reading, speaking and writing.Listening is the important method, which people can exchange, according to the American Professor Paul blue Jin the statistics, in peoples daily life, 45% listening, 30% speaking, 16% re
25、ading, 9% writing. From this, we may discover listening comprehensions importance. But listening is very difficult for lots of undergraduates.Language itself, reflects life, culture and custom of a society, etc. Studying English through English original edition papers and magazines, books, online En
26、glish, English broadcast, TV and film, you can find out more about the different outlooks on life, values behind a society and therefore better understanding life, culture, custom of a society. Having understood these, we can find out the connection between life situation and the language.In non Eng
27、lish speaking country such as China, what a good English education lacks most is a good language environment, but English original edition papers and magazines, books, online English, English broadcast, TV and film let you get in touch with western countries true life situations, such as life experi
28、ences that occur in a party, love, marriage, commerce, recreation, a school, a hospital, a supermarket, a bank, etc., Which enable people to “stay indoors and know the affairs in this world”. Because you have to read so many English original edition papers and magazines, books, online English, Engli
29、sh broadcast, TVs and films, so you will not merely find that you do not have language obstacles at all first time going abroad.Through getting touch with different aspects of English language, we not only learn more words, phrases, expressions, abbreviations and so on, but also read English newspap
30、ers, English magazines, English novels, the Net English, English broadcast, English television programs and the topic that the people discuss in an English movie actually is precisely our daily life topic, when this language is visually shown to us a lot, heard often, till it is accumulated to a cer
31、tain degree, actual utilization often could prepare you words at fingertips.II. Three stages of After-Class listening practice for BeginnersThe teachers often speak of the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. That means each of them is important. You can not say that you have maste
32、red the language without any one of them, Listening, one of the means of language communication, is used most widely in peoples daily lives. About 45% of an adults time is spent in listening to other people, listening to the radio, listening to the music. In linguistics，giving the students a lot of
33、listening activities is a good way of enlarging their vocabulary. On the other hand, it also helps the students improve their listening comprehension. A lot of students have their own listening habits. Some students often try to understand each word or each sentence. They will think hard when they m
34、eet some difficult words or sentences, and a great many students could understand the material directly, They often translate the English into Chinese in their heart, thinking that only in this way can the sentence be understood. This is also a reason, trying to understand each word is difficult, an
35、d it is not necessary at all. You should catch the most important points.Then how to improve the students listening skill?We know the biggest difficulty between mother language learning and foreign language learning lies in the language environment. A child can soon learn his mother language well. H
36、e has heard a lot before he can say something and walks. Then after he is able to walk and say, he has a chance of listening to more. Before he goes to school, he has already been a good listener and speaker.Make the students grasp the phonetic symbols. Phonetic symbols are a basic requirement. A go
37、od intonation and phonetic depends on the base. Oral reading after a radio or a teacher is a good way at the beginning; Students should do much about it. Pay attention to the oral reading skill, It includes stress, strong form, weak form, intonation incomplete plosive consonant, affricate consonant,
38、 syllable and so on. Training and practicing the oral reading is not a days word. The teacher must give correct information about it. There is no easy way.Expand the students knowledge about English. Encourage the students to read something in their spare time about geography, history, culture, stor
39、ies and so on.2.1 Primary Stage1) This stage still belongs to the foundation stage; you can go on training from the following aspects: Consistent listening to the sentence pattern drilling exercises and short stories: It takes a long time to pay attention to this stage, which is very difficult. Cont
40、inue to use the ABC of sentence pattern stage to practice, you should strengthen in unit time listening quantity of material, and try to improve ones own accuracy. 2) In order to expand the vocabulary and get familiar with different accents, we can listen to some simple and easy materials about Grea
41、t Britain and America history, geography, etc. These speeches are generally suitable for about half an hour, increasing knowledge as well as listening. 3): English of radio broadcasting relates to contents of various fields such as politics, economy, culture, the language is more normal, pronunciati
42、on and intonation of announcer are the model, so it is an extremely good way to study English by listening to the radio of English. It is convenient for us to listen to the radio station of Beijing (Radio Beijing), and most of the daily contents are the news about development of various fields of ou
43、r country. Because the learner is familiar with these contents, which has reduced difficulty of listening, so it is more suitable to abs person with elementary listening comprehension. In this stage, listening focal point should be news broadcast, international situation analysis and comments of som
44、e culture of radio station of Beijing. Try to find out the universal law of the news broadcast while listening, pay attention to training some basic skills and methods of listening to news. If feeling difficult at the beginning, you can adopt the two following auxiliary methods: reading relevant art
45、icles such as Beijing Review (BEIJING REVIEW), China Daily (CHINA DAILY) or Xinhuas telecom draft (XIN-HUA NEWS BULLETIN) before listening to radio. In this way, on condition that you are prepared in grasping the content and relevant vocabulary, it will be much easier to listen to the radio of Engli
46、sh. In addition, you can record and produce news to listen repeatedly, weigh sentence by sentence, which is a very good training method that transfers listening too. In this stage, you must go on exercising cooperated listening, making oral composition, etc. and launching the discussion in power.2.2
47、 Intermediate StageCarry out the following training: Listening to Voice of America (VOA) to broadcast (VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH PROGRAM) or English of BBC (BBC) and broadcast (BBC ENGLISH BY RADIO) at slow speed: These two programs are relatively slow in pace. At the beginning one can choose to listen to
48、 BBC or VOA and then carry out the transition to another one progressively. So, while carrying out this training, you should read some English newspapers and magazines. 1) Seeing and listening are combined. The ability to understand the film in listening practice and the drama: Seeing the foreign language film can be included in the training at this stage. It is quite difficult to listen to the lines of the film and the drama at the beginning. You can rea
