how to improve the listening
考拉小巫，伊甸园论坛字幕组组长，大家经常看的美剧或欧美电影都是她带领的团队第一时间听译出来的，江湖上有人称之为"大陆听力第一人"。
她的新浪博客：/loveandpeacejoy今天写点儿正事。
说说该如何修炼咱们的耳朵。
此文只针对能力的提高，不针对应试！往往能力提高了，应试就不会有问题！先说一个基础问题：有一个真理是不变的，那就是，语言，是一种能力。
听、说、读、写，四种能力任何一个，没有连续的三个月以上的辛苦付出，是不会有显著提高的。
不管怎样的方法，怎样的秘诀，如果你不坚持，是不可能有任何提高的，所以这个得先明确了。
其次再来说技术性问题：该如何练听力。
不同人适合不同的办法，没有一套方案是可以做到放诸四海皆准的。
所以我只能分享我自己的练习耳朵的过程，然后提些建议。
1. "到底应该怎么练听力啊？"我正式开始重视起听力，是从大一开始的。
郑老师给我们推荐Step by Step四册书听，于是我就和张希开始每天听这套书。
一共四册，我每个学期听一册，用两年听完了这四册书，上面的题都认真做了。
最一开始一定是什么都听不懂的，因为高中之前，我基本没怎么练习过听力，准确地说，那时候不知道原来耳朵是需要练习的。
我没有别的办法，听不懂就重新听，用复读机一遍一遍地听，四册书我觉得我听了不下二十遍，听坏了两台复读机，N个耳机，耳朵插耳机插的出水疱，后来换成戴在头上的大耳机就稍微好了些。
这套教材很好，因为难度是一点点提升的，所以比较推荐。
除了Step by Step以外，同时进行的听力练习就是听广播。
专四有新闻听力，所以我和张希就去店里买收音机，因为是痛下决心要练好听力的，所以我们都狠下心买最好的收音机，接收效果强的那种。
于是，我们就买了全店里最大的收音机，比一般的正常收音机都大两倍，我俩买的一模一样的，只是她是黑色的我是灰色的。
于是学校里就多了一道亮丽的风景线，总有两个人拿着砖头大的收音机在学校的清晨走来走去，嘴里还一直念念叨叨。
起初刚开始听的时候，听的是VOA，因为传说BBC很快，所以我没敢碰它，只碰了VOA。
第一天听的时候我给崩溃掉了，只能听懂"This is VOA。
"。
但是没有办法，只能一天覆一天的听，不能断开。
于是我就每天像一个石头一样，早晨六点半到八点整，雷打不动，起床听VOA。
正好步行去学校。
到后来的时候，八点开始上课了，我还偷偷把天线伸出去继续转台听BBC。
大家别觉得听不懂很可怕，咱们是中国人，北方人第一次听广东话也听不懂，但是你多听，硬着头皮听，不就也慢慢能听懂了吗？比如小怡子，她一开始也不懂上海话啊，那么复杂，谁能听懂？但是在上海活了四年，现在小怡子不但能听懂上海话说话，还能听懂上海话骂人，还会说上海话，就是这个道理！所以你别问，你就听。
听不懂咋办？听不懂继续听啊！说那么多废话干啥！你就听就行了！只要你别放弃，你早晚有一天能听懂！就比如我，大一一年基本没咋听懂，但是就傻傻地听，在大二的一天早晨，我正在刷牙，广播里好像正在播布什的一个演讲，我突然发现我一字不落的都能听懂了，我一兴奋，就把刷牙水喝了。
后来越听VOA越觉得速度慢，于是转战BBC。
第一次听BBC，以为是在辩论会，后来发现，是正常语速，我就给崩溃了。
崩溃完以后，继续听，终于发现，要想练耳朵，BBC才是王道。
我觉得跟读是一个比较不错的方法，他说一句，你就在三秒钟以后重复他的话，你只要能重复下来，你必定是听懂了才去重复的吧。
我就那么一直跟读了好几个月。
英音和美音都听习惯了，才是真正听力好。
光吃美音，不吃英音，那不行。
毕竟现在国际正式场合，新闻发布会的同传之类，都说的是英音。
我就这样听力教材加VOA和BBC，坚持了四年没断，当然肯定有过年之类早晨没起来的可能。
但如果一般早晨没起来，那么当天的听力我一定会在下午五点补回来。
听力，是需要每天都坚持的，一天都不能断，不能断，把它当成吃饭和喝水。
耳朵这个东西，你不用了，一定会生疏的。
如果听广播因为条件等没法做到的人，可以上网听，我博客左边有VOA，BBC，CNN，CSPAN等听力网站的链接，进去以后都有在线可以听的。
再说一下，我的这个办法，不可能保证都能提高听力，到底可行不可行，完全看你自己的坚持程度。
坚持的时间越久，你的听力会越好。
2. "我真的认真听了，但是我为啥就听不懂呢？"、这是一般人们爱问的第二个问题。
我觉得如果听不懂的话，有两个可能。
第一，你练习的不够久。
比如小怡子，她如果只在上海待了一年，是不可能听懂上海话的，只有她待了四年，她才能真正听懂。
明白？第二，很可能是你发音不准。
听力能听懂东西，是一个语音识别的问题。
比如你一直把"尴尬"念成"监介"，那么别人说"尴尬"的时候，你一定听不出来那是"尴尬"。
所以，如果你真的很下辛苦练听力了，坚持了至少三个月以上，你还是一点起色都没有，就也许是你的语音识别有问题，当然不可能像尴尬监介那么严重的语音识别有误，但只要发音不准确，就绝对可能导致你听差。
这样的情况下，就好好补习一下音标一类的知识，让自己首先能把音念准了，然后再听。
这样也许会有帮助。
3. "我听听力的时候总走神，到底怎么回事啊？"有人听听力总是听着听着就差了，听着听着就走神了，听着听着就睡着了。
如果是这样，就说明你不能长时间集中精力做事，这样的话，你要是总走神，就算坚持了三个月，其实也相当于只听了3天的功力，没啥大用。
你要是坚持不了，你可以试一下跟读，哪怕隔句跟读，也能保证帮助你集中注意力。
因为你要是要做到跟读，就必须使劲听，并努力记忆他的话，这样就可以集中精力了。
还有，强烈建议早晨听听力，可以很清爽，不要再睡过去了。
4. "给推荐点儿练习听力的教材哇！"这个问题我没什么发言权，因为我用过的书版的教材很少，只有Step by Step和中级听力、高级听力。
我练听力主要就是听广播了。
5. "咋能通过看电影来练习听力呢？我发现我每次电影看了，但是听力没练"我自己是在听力练到一定程度以后，才开始做电影的。
我最一开始的听力，并不是通过看电影提高的。
我最一开始看电影，也是看中央六台那种的，中文配音，中文字幕，跟英文不沾边。
后来才开始买碟看（那个年代还没开始流行从网上下载看）。
买碟租碟的时候就遇到了问题，说的是英文，我觉得我好像似乎能听懂他们说什么，但是底下的字幕翻译却和我听到的不一样，我就郁闷啦，觉得他们翻译的好烂，自己很愤怒，因为很搞笑的东西我都笑翻了，但是我妈看了底下的字幕都笑不出来。
后来就加入了字幕组，一开始没敢尝试听译，因为我对我自己的听力那时候还没自信到那种程度。
听电影和听新闻绝对不是一回事，就算你BBC和VOA都听得百分之百了，电影绝对有听不出来的东西，一是因为角色发音各种奇怪，各种口音，二是因为新闻里是正式用语，而电影里是俚语偏多，语速快的时候能吓死人。
你要是选择用电影练习听力，建议最好有听力基础，至少VOA的水平应该能听懂百分之七十。
可以选择一部你最喜欢的百看不厌的电影，反复看好几遍，遇到听不懂的地方，拖回来重新听，听了五遍以上若是还没听懂，就不要听了，直接挂字幕看看人家说的是啥，看到subtitle以后再分析一下你为啥没听懂，如果单词明明都认识，但你就是没听懂，那八成就是因为吞音连音等问题。
这些问题很好解决，你自己学会这样的读法，下次就能听懂了，还是一个语音识别的问题。
如果你决定用电影来提高听力，那你一定要记住你看这个电影的目的不是for fun，是要练听力，所以别看着看着太高兴，到后来直接挂着字幕一路看过去，那样就没有效果啦。
谁最一开始都不习惯看裸片（即无字幕），你得坚持住，哪怕半懂不懂半猜半懂得也得看完，多看几遍，多听几遍，就明白了。
然后再外挂字幕看。
6. "为啥电影里总有听不懂的东西"这个问题我专门问过阿比大叔，就是我最最崇拜的听译牛人，他的答案就是缺乏对画面的分析，在短短两分钟左右的预告片里，很有可能突然插出来一句莫名其妙的台词，这个时候如果能仔细分析背景画面，就能分析出来很多剧情。
这点我做的很不好，因为每个预告片里，总有那么一句两句我听不懂，郁闷的要死。
还是缺乏练习，得多练多练，啥时候电影能看到阿比大叔那个水平，我就开心了。
所以我还要努力！！！再强调一遍，语言能力的提高，没有任何捷径而言。
（有捷径，书山有路勤为径）听说读写四项能力，都是硬功夫，你什么时候不狠下心死练，是不会有实质性提高的。
我想起了XDF一个老师说的经典的话，能力提高的最大捷径就是努力，但是努力最痛苦，所以很少人能走成捷径。
So，如何提高，其实人们自己心里都清楚，但还是会期望度很高的去问别人该如何做，当得到一个答案的时候，自己又失望，怪人家没有把"真经"传授给你。
但其实，世上根本没有什么真经，没有秘诀，唯一有的，只有一日一日的切实付出。
如果你能疑虑的少一些，付出的多一些，你的听力早就上去了。
（说得多好啊，还说自己语文不好，让本人汗颜了！）所以，赶快抓起任何一个材料，只要是native speaker说的东西，开始练吧。
时间很宝贵。
Hard work counts，其他都是扯淡。
单词篇:Ragbear Survivor听译组组长我们为什么要默写六级单词?(一种由我发明的英语学习方法的理论化叙述)WHY我们为什么要默写六级单词?◆CET-6在非英语专业的求职过程中起着Vital般的作用。
甚至可以说六级这个分数是会伴随你一生的。
◆CET-6这些单词并非是中国CET考试院从某本Dictionary里面挑出来的，而是由美国历史上最著名的词汇家Webster根据生活实际经验以及通过统计学意义上的计算而筛选出来的。
◆因此六级单词非常具有现实意义：(1)六级单词属于报刊文章中出现频率最高的Basic Vocabulary。
(2)六级单词几乎涵盖了所有生活中要常用的、比较fancy的meaning.◆六级单词在考试过程中的重要性比其他考试体现地要明显很多。
◆在听说读写译的五项技能中，先不论最高层次的译。
只有说和写才能真正地做到：make a direct profit! 因为只有这两者是output.(只进无出，那叫闷骚!)而写的过程中，拼写这个问题困绕了太多人。
英语单词拼错，就像中文写白字那样，是一种写作者自身修养还未到家的体现!◆何谓我认识这个单词(e.g: exaggerate)?第一,是音。
我听到别人读exaggerate,我明白这是夸张的意思。
这就引出了第二点,意。
第三点,是形。
也就是说我看到这个词，我知道她表达的意思是夸张这个concept。

How to improve listening skillsⅠ.IntroductionListening plays a fundamental role in foreign language acquisition .Among the four basic skills in English learning. listening is the basic, and the most important skill. Listening comprehension is the essential parts in nowadays various proficiency tests, no matter English or the other language. But it is also the most difficult of all the learning skills for learners to master. When listening, listeners follow the speaker, thinking about what the speaker is saying and what is going on in the mind of the speaker, guessing the speaker’s opinions and attitudes and catching the true meaning of the speaker’s words. Listening itself accounts foral most half of the commutative activities in one’s daily life.Ⅱ. Factors influencing students’ listening abilityAttitudeFor a long time, as for students, the final aim of learning a subject is to take exams, get high marks. Hence, during the English teaching process, teachers spend much time showing their students how to master grammar and how to improve reading and writing skills in a class. Listening plays a supporting role and is not paid attention to by teachers.Poor methodThe task of language teachers includes not only teaching thelanguage but also teaching the skill to learn a language. To learnEnglish well, teachers need to develop students' listening skill.But teachers always regard listening as listening exam. They neglect their students 'level of knowledge capabilities, and don't attach importance to feedback from students. These indirectly result in not ideal teaching effectiveness. On the other hand teaching listening skills is one of the most difficult tasks for an English successful listening teacher. It is frustrating for teacher because there are no rules as in grammar teaching.Barriers on pronunciation and intonation.English usually appears some problems exactly on Phonetics and Phonology, such as the mistakes on pronunciation and intonation. Therefore some basic knowledge about English Phonetics and Phonology will directly influence students’ listening comprehensionProblems on vocabulary and grammar.Vocabulary is the building materials of languages, so students must master enough vocabularies if they want to improve their listening ability. However, in china, many middle school students do not have abundant vocabulary. So, when they hear unfamiliar words in listening, they become nervous and ponder the word.Grammar plays an important part in the analysis of written sentence structure and sentence pattern. However, in china many students also lack of systematic grammar knowledge.Some bad listening habitsWhen do listening comprehension, students always try their best to get the meaning of each words, and each sentences. Once they meet a new word or a difficulty sentence, they will stop to think. It is doubtless they can’t catch up with the speed any more. In fact, it is unnecessary to know every word, every sentence; they should only catch the main idea and grasp the major point.Ⅲ. Approaches to Improve Listening SkillsFirstly, In order to improve the students’ pronunciation, the students can do more exercise s. At the beginning of the listening training, the students should learn something about connecting reading, weak reading, lost tone and stress shifting, and pay more attention to the pronunciation and intonation, so that they can overcome the barriers in the English listening. For example, to distinguish the difference between two minimal pairs, or to identify whether the two sounds are the same.Secondly, Word is the basic of language. Students must master a lot of vocabularies in speaking, listening reading, or writing. If students do not have enough vocabulary storage, they will be nervous when come across some unfamiliar words or phrases, which will affect students' overall understanding of the listening material. So they must owe rich vocabulary. They should learn and remember vocabulary in their daily time. Reading is a good way to accumulate vocabulary. Watching English programs is another effective way to increase students' vocabulary.And then, as we all know, grammar also plays an important part in listening. The students must never neglect grammar teaching. Grammar can not only help them to analyze sentence structure and pattern, but also help them to understand the whole material. The purpose of recognition of the sentence pattern and capture of the key information is to understand themeaning of the speaker’s utterance. So students have to have a good command of the knowledge of grammar in order to improve his listening comprehension.Last but not least, to improve English listening, students should have indomitable willpower and perseverance spirit to do more listening. Dictation is a positive and effective way of listening training. Except for dictation, students also can watch English movie or listen to English songs. English movies and songs are wonderful and useful listening materials. The improvement of listening capable is practice. Practice makes a changing process that quantitative from to qualitative. As long as listen, and fascinated to it, students will understand the meaning of the entire context. Only insist to listen, they will master many listening skills and do a good job in listening The listening comprehension process is also a relatively complex psychological process. In psychology, it is stated that when a person feels nervous or anxious he or she may experience the feeling of being terrified. When one is terrified his or her ability to listen is greatly reduced. In addition, the external surroundings can also interfere with listening. For instance, the listening effect in the classroom or the language lab is different from in the open air classroom.So, it is very important for the students to have a good state while listening. Students should get clear that listening is the first step of any language learning, they should try their best to learn it well at the very beginning.V. Conclusion"We were given two ears but only one mouth, because listening is twice as hard as talking." Though listening is rather difficult for us, we have a series of ways to get over it. Therefore, this is a long journey. This paper analyses some reasons that cause students weak ability in listening and explores some possible and effective solutions to solve the issues. It relates both teachers 'teaching and students ‘learning. They should combine listening with other English skills. What's more, teachers must fos ter students ‘interests and motivation of listening. Students should come over scare psychology and set up self-confidence. At the same time, they should enrich their vocabularies. Students need to do more training and master some listening skills. It is an enduring and formidable subject matter to improve the English listening ability. Teachers and students must struggle tirelessly in the future. The theory goes along with the practice. We should apply to those approaches to real listening teaching and learning process.1.Once or twice a week. I enjoy watching nba my favourite team is heatsSports help people to live happily. They help to keep people healthy and feeling good. When they are playing games, people move a lot. This is good for their health .having fun with their friends makes them happy.2.We have been classmate since primary school,I think the main reason we are such good friends is because we have a lot in common and we both have the same kind of humour. We also always support each other whenever we need help. I think we are such good friends because we don't feel we ever have to pretend around each other, and we are really helpful to one another.Honesty humorous kind hearted calm and easygoingGive a brief description of the plot and main characters?

I saw the bride and the groom dressed in gowns and cut the wedding cake. The cake had three tiers. The ceremony was held in a big hotel. My uncle had prepared for it for a long time. He sent out many invitation cards, ordered the flowers, cake and champagne. But the most important thing was to buy the rings. He looked so exciting and happy in the ceremony. They went travelling to Europe for their honey moon.5。

对提高中问听力水平建议英语作文
对提高中问听力水平建议英语作文全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1Listening Is Super Important!Hey friends! Today I want to talk about something that's really, really important for learning English - listening skills! You might be wondering, "Why is listening so important?" Well, let me tell you!When you listen to people speaking English, you get to hear all the different sounds, rhythms, and intonations. It's like music for your ears! And just like you need to train your body to play a sport or instrument, you need to train your ears and brain to understand spoken English. The more you practice listening, the easier it will become.But listening isn't just about understanding the words people say. It's also about catching the meaning behind their words, their emotions, and their intentions. When you listen closely, you can learn so much more than just vocabulary!So how can you improve your listening skills? I've got some awesome tips to share with you!Tip #1: Watch movies and TV shows in English! This is one of my favorite ways to practice. You get to be entertained while also training your ears. Look for shows or movies with subtitles in English so you can read along as you listen. This will help connect the words you hear with the words you see.Tip #2: Listen to English songs and podcasts! Music and stories are fun ways to soak in the language. As you listen, try to sing along or repeat what you hear. You can even look up lyrics or transcripts online to follow along.Tip #3: Have conversations in English! Talking with friends, family members, or teachers who speak English is great practice. Don't be afraid to ask them to repeat things or speak a bit slower if you're having trouble understanding. The more you engage in back-and-forth conversations, the better your listening comprehension will become.Tip #4: Take notes while you listen. Having a pen and paper handy can help you write down key words or phrases you catch. This will keep you focused and reinforce what you're hearing. It's like exercising your listening muscle!Tip #5: Be an active listener. This means pushing yourself to not just hear the words, but to concentrate on understanding their meaning. Ask yourself questions as you listen, like "What isthe main idea?" or "How does the speaker feel about this topic?" Active listening takes practice, but it's an awesome skill to develop.Tip #6: Don't get discouraged! Improving your listening skills takes time and effort. There will be days when you feel like you're not making any progress, but that's okay! Every minute you spend listening is helping your brain get stronger. Just keep at it and believe in yourself.Following these tips can seem like a lot of work, but trust me, it's worth it! The more you practice listening, the more confident you'll feel in your English abilities. You'll understand conversations better, learn new expressions more easily, and have an easier time communicating overall.Plus, strong listening comprehension can help in other areas too, like reading and writing. When you understand how the language flows and connects, putting sentences together becomes much simpler.So keep working on those listening muscles, friends! It might feel challenging at first, but pretty soon, you'll be an English listening superstar. Just take it one conversation, one song, one podcast at a time. You've got this!Remember, practice makes progress. The more you listen, the more you'll understand. Before you know it, English will sound as natural as your language at home. So put on your favorite movie, turn on that podcast, and let those English sounds sink right into your brilliant mind!篇2Improving Your English Listening SkillsHi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 4th grade student. I've been learning English for a few years now and I have to say, listening is one of the hardest skills to master. It's so easy to miss what someone is saying, especially if they talk fast or have an accent. But don't worry, I've got some super helpful tips that have worked really well for me! Are you ready to become a listening master? Let's go!First up, listen, listen, listen! The more English you listen to, the easier it will become to understand. Whenever you can, turn on an English TV show, movie, podcast, audiobook or song and really focus. In the beginning, you might only catch a few words here and there and that's okay. The important thing is getting your brain used to the sounds and rhythms of English speech.Next, don't be afraid to rewind and relisten as many times as you need to. That's one of the best things about audio and video - you can keep rewinding until it clicks! When I'm studying, I'll often listen to the same clip 5 or 6 times until I understand every single word. It might seem like a lot of work at first but trust me, it gets easier the more you do it.Another really good strategy is to listen without looking at the subtitles or transcript at first. After giving it your best shot, you can then look at the text to fill in anything you missed. This helps reinforce what you understood aurally while also clearing up misunderstandings. Just be sure to listen first before peeking!For extra listening practice, narrate your day to yourself in English. As you're eating breakfast, walking to school, or playing outside, describe aloud what you're doing and seeing around you using full sentences. It might feel silly at first but getting used to producing English out loud will make a huge difference when it comes time to listen.Finding listening materials suited to your level is also key. If an audio is too hard, you'll quickly get frustrated and discouraged. But if it's too easy, you won't be challenging yourself enough to improve. A good rule of thumb is to choose materials where you can understand 60-70% of what's being saidwithout any text to help. Any lower than that and it's probably too advanced for now.My personal favorite English listening activity is watching movies and shows made for kids my age. The language is simpler but still natural, plus they tell fun stories I can actually get into and enjoy. If a character says something I don't follow, I'll hit pause and repeat that line over and over until I've got it.When all else fails, don't be shy to ask the speaker for clarification or to rephrase what they said. As an English learner, you have every right to make sure you comprehend. Most people will be happy to repeat themselves, rephrase using simpler words, or speak a bit slower if you let them know you're still working on understanding.Listening skills are super important but they're also super tough, even for us kids. I still have plenty of room for improvement myself! The key is mixing up different listening activities and sticking with it through all the confusing parts. Your ears and brain will eventually adjust - you just have to be patient and keep those headphones on!Does improving my listening seem a little less scary now? I hope these tips give you a great head start on the road to becoming a true English listening pro! Let me know if any of mysuggestions work especially well for you. Don't give up - you've got this! Thanks for reading, guys!篇3How to Get Better at Listening to EnglishHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about how to improve your English listening skills. Listening is super important if you want to understand people when they speak English. At first it can feel really hard, but if you practice the right way, you'll get a lot better at it. Here are my best tips!Tip #1: Listen to Things You EnjoyThe number one most important tip is to listen to things that you actually like. If you try to just listen to boring stuff you don't care about, you'll get bored and give up really fast. But if you listen to awesome movies, TV shows, YouTube videos, music, or anything else you think is cool and fun, you'll keep doing it because you're enjoying it!For example, I'm obsessed with this cartoon called Bluey that my little sister watches. I've watched every single episode like a million times. At first I could barely understand what the characters were saying because they talk with Australian accents.But after watching it over and over, my brain got used to how they talk and now I understand almost everything!Tip #2: Watch With Subtitles (But Not Too Much!)Using subtitles or captions when you're starting out can be really helpful. That way if you miss what someone said or can't quite make it out, you can quickly read it. The subtitles let you follow along without getting completely lost.But here's an important trick - you don't want to rely on the subtitles too much! If you just read along with them the whole time without really listening, you're not giving your ears and brain good practice. So maybe watch one episode or part of a video using subtitles to get the general idea. Then watch it again without subtitles and see how much you can understand through listening only. It's a great way to challenge yourself!Tip #3: Listen and Do Something Else at the Same TimeThis one might sound a little weird, but it can really work! When you only listen without doing anything else, it's easy to start zoning out or losing focus. That's why I like to listen to English audio while also doing some other activity that keeps me engaged.Some things you could try are coloring or drawing while you listen, solving puzzles or brain teasers, building with Legos, or even just taking a walk outside. Keeping your body a little bit active helps your brain stay more alert and attentive to the listening. Just make sure the other activity isn't too hard or distracting - you want to still be focused mainly on comprehending the English.Tip #4: Don't Panic if You Miss StuffWhen you're starting to really listen to native English for the first time, there's going to be a LOT that you simply don't understand. You'll hear words, phrases, expressions, idioms and slang that just sound like total gibberish. That's 100% normal and okay! The more listening practice you get, the more those weird things will start to click into place.My advice is to not panic or get discouraged when you miss big chunks of audio. Just let it go and keep listening for the parts you do pick up. Over time, those unclear spots will get smaller and smaller until your comprehension is almost full. Freaking out will only make you shut down and stop making progress.Tip #5: Have Conversations TooWhile listening to audio is awesome practice, you also need to practice having real live conversations in English. It's a different skill to understand people talking right in front of you rather than through speakers or headphones. Their voices will sound a bit different, you'll pick up on body language, and you might need to ask for clarification sometimes.A great way to get this practice is to make friends with people learning English from other countries. You can take turns doing conversation practice and giving each other feedback. Or try joining a conversation club or meetup group in your area. The more you have back-and-forth dialogues, the better your functional listening comprehension will become.Tip #6: Take Breaks When You Need ToMy final tip is to take breaks when your brain feels totally fried from all the listening work. Like anything else, you need to balance your practice with rest periods. If you try to push through when you're already exhausted and drained, you'll just get frustrated and start zoning out again.When you feel that burnout starting to kick in, give yourself a little break. Do something completely different to rest your ears and mind. Then you can come back to your English listening feeling refreshed and recharged to keep building those skills.So those are my top tips for how to improve at understanding spoken English! The most important things are to practice listening to content you enjoy, use subtitles in a balanced way, keep your brain engaged, expect to miss things sometimes, get conversation practice, and rest when needed. If you stick with it using these strategies, I'm telling you - your listening skills are going to skyrocket! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇4Title: How to Be a Great English ListenerHi friends! Today I want to share some tips for getting better at listening to English. Listening is super important for learning any language. If you can't understand what people are saying, it's really hard to communicate!The first thing I always tell my friends is to listen, listen, listen as much as you can! The more English you hear, the easier it will get. But just listening isn't enough - you have to listen actively and try hard to understand.One way to practice active listening is to watch movies, TV shows, or videos in English. It's better if you can find ones meant for kids your age at first. The language will be simpler and easierto follow. Don't just get distracted by the pictures though! Really focus and try to understand what the characters are saying without reading the subtitles.If it's too hard at first, you can turn on English subtitles. Read along carefully as you listen. Pause the video if you need to. Look up words you don't know. Pretty soon, you'll be able to follow more and more without the subtitles!Another useful tip is to listen to songs in English. Songs are great because the words are repeated over and over again in a rhythmic way. After a few listens, you'll start picking up the lyrics. Sing and dance along for extra fun!Podcasts made for English learners are also an awesome listening resource. You can find tons of them for free online. The hosts speak nice and clearly at a level made for learners. Some even come with transcripts so you can read along.When you're just starting out though, don't worry if you don't understand everything you hear. The most important thing is to keep exposing your ears to lots of English. Even if it feels like word soup at first, your brain is getting trained to recognize sounds, rhythms and patterns.As you get more practice, start spending less time translating word-for-word in your head, and more time just trying to get the overall meaning and main idea. But if you really get stuck on a section, don't be afraid to rewind and re-listen carefully until it clicks.Getting conversation practice is key too. Havingback-and-forth exchanges is one of the hardest things for listeners because you have to comprehend and respond inreal-time. But the more you work at it, the better you'll get.Ask your parents or English tutors to have regular conversations with you only in English. If it's too fast in the beginning, politely ask them to slow down or rephrase things. They can also help you by giving context, using gestures, and avoiding slang.Another idea is to form a English conversation club with friends who are also learning. You can take turns asking each other questions or telling stories. Have fun, be patient, and don't worry about perfect grammar as you practice listening and speaking.Outside of class, try to find native English speakers to chat with. Maybe there are students from an English-speaking country at your school that you could befriend. Or perhaps youcould be digital pen pals with someone online. Just get that real-world listening practice however you can.When you are listening, be an active detective! Listen carefully for context clues about what is being discussed. Are there any cognates or words that sound similar to your own language that could give you hints? Pay attention to the tone, facial expressions and body language too for extra meaning.It's also helpful to pick up on conversational markers people use in English. Words like "so," "well," "actually," etc. can signal when someone is going to make an important point or disagreement. Listening for filler words like "ummm" and "uhhhh" can prepare you for when a person is stalling to think of what to say next.If you still can't quite get what someone says, don't be afraid to ask follow-up questions like "Could you repeat that please?" or "What does ____ mean?" Clarifying is a natural part of communication, not just for language learners!Here's a super important tip: Don't get discouraged if listening feels really hard at first. It's normal! Even babies born into English speaking homes have to spend over a year just getting used to listening before they can start producing words themselves. Be patient, and trust that it will get easier over time.Just keep swimming in the English language river every day, listening with focus and an open mind. Before you know it, what once sounded like gibberish will start to sound like words, then sentences, and finally entire conversations that you can understand easily.It takes a lot of practice, but I know you can become an excellent English listener if you stick with it. Listening is such a valuable skill that will open up so many opportunities for you. You've got this! Let's get listening.篇5Listening is Super Important for Learning English!Hi everyone! My name is Jamie and I'm a 4th grader who loves learning English. English is a lot of fun but it can be really hard sometimes, especially the listening part. I used to have a really tough time understanding when my teachers or friends spoke English. But over the years I've learned some great tips and tricks that have helped me get much better at listening. I want to share them with you today!The first big thing that helped me was realizing that listening isn't just about your ears. It's about using your whole body and brain! Good listeners have to concentrate really hard and payclose attention. Whenever I'm trying to listen carefully, I make sure to sit up straight, look at the person talking, and focus all my energy on understanding them. It also helps to repeat things in my head as I hear them.Another important part of listening is learning to be patient. When I first started learning English, I would get frustrated if I didn't understand something right away. But then I realized that not everyone speaks perfectly clearly all the time. Sometimes you have to wait patiently, concentrate, and let the meaning become clear little by little. It's like putting together a puzzle!Becoming a great listener also takes a lot of practice. The more English I listened to, the easier it became. I started watching TV shows and movies in English. I also loved listening to songs and reading along with the lyrics. Anything you can do to hear more English is great practice. Just keep listening!It also really helps to learn some strategies for when you get stuck or don't understand something. One thing I do is listen for context clues. For example, if I miss what someone says but I hear the word "banana" I know they're probably talking about a fruit. Paying attention to body language and facial expressions also gives you helpful clues.Another trick is to not panic if you miss a word or two. I try to catch the overall meaning instead of getting hung up on every single word. And if I'm really struggling, I always ask the person to repeat themselves slowly or rephrase what they said. There's no shame in needing some extra help sometimes.Learning lots of vocabulary is super important for listening too. The more words you know, the easier it will be to piece together the meanings of sentences. Whenever I come across a new English word, I make sure to write it down, look up the definition, and practice using it. Having a big vocabulary makes a huge difference.Finally, the best advice I can give is to not get discouraged! Listening is one of the hardest parts of learning a new language. It takes a lot of time and effort to get good at it. But if you stay positive and keep practicing, you'll definitely see improvement. Just think how amazing it will feel when you can understand English conversations easily! All the hard work will be worth it.Well, those are my top tips for becoming an awesome English listener. Keep using strategies like concentrating, being patient, getting lots of practice, using context clues, asking for help, learning vocabulary, and most of all, never giving up! Listening will be tough at first but I know you can master it.We're all in this together! Let's get out there and listen to some English!。

About 71.2% of the students think that the most bot hering and most difficult is listening comprehension, and even some of them have diff iculty in understanding their teacher who gives lessons in English.Listening comprehension is a complex activity. It requires students to use their phonetics, vocabulary, grammar and background knowledge, so most students have many difficulties in listening comprehension. Many learners are afraid of listening, looking on it as more difficult than any other skills and pay more attention to training their ability to speak, read and write. At the same time, listening is often ignored by both teachers and students.What cause the students’ poor listening? In my opinion, these are the following factors:Objective cause：in rural middle school, we often use chalks, a blackboard and a tape to teach. We hardly have any modern teaching tools such as multi-medium. And there are different cultures between Chinese and westerners. The students know little about it.Subjective cause: the students are not interested in English .They think listening is unimportant. They pay less attention to it.Project objectivesTo arouse the students’ interest in listening learning.To correct the students’ bad habits in listening lear ning.To improve the students’ listening skills. Make they catch the key words and understand the main idea of the listening material.Project hypothesisI think students must be interested in them by playing the English songs and movies. They will like English, even like listening learning.The students always try their best to get the meaning of each word, each sentence .So tell the students the best way to listen to the tape and practice several times .The students will be easier to understand the main idea than before.The students not only remember the words of the textbook but also remember some words in other articles. If they do this, they will get over the difficult words they meet while they are listening.After class, they read English magazines and newspaper in order to enhance their knowledge about English cultural background.Project RationaleListening comprehension can be affected by various factors which include students’ basic ability, Chinese interference, listening strategies, background knowledge, and psychosocial factors. There are also other obstacles such as some new words, new sentence patterns, new grammar, or connecting and weak reading, lost tone and stress shifting in the listening material. All those will make the listener felldifficult to not understand the meaning of the material.Basic abilityPhonetics and phonology factor―According to an American scholar, Rita Wong, phonetics is crucial in listening comprehension. This is because sound is the direct medium of listening and speaking. Only by using correct sound, can we express our views and ideas accurately. Similarly, it is inevitably that poor pronunciation will cause aural difficulties in smooth acceptance of others’ ideas expressed in correct pronunciation.‖(马占祥, 2002:96) For example: the pronunciation is not accurate, especially for similar words. Such as: jeep-sheep; beat—bit; count—can’t; here—hair; much—March; quite—quiet; kitchen—chicken; mouth—mouse.V ocabulary factorDuring the process of listening comprehension, listeners should not only do the exercises of sound recognition, but also learn more vocabulary. Vocabulary is the building materials of languages, so students must master enough vocabularies if they want to improve their listening ability.Grammar factorGrammar plays an important part in the analysis of written sentence structure and sentence pattern. The purpose of the analysis is to comprehend the whole passage. The same is true of listening comprehension of sentence. Systematic grammar knowledge is like a strong frame of a building, it can help students to catch the implication of vocal sounds, and understand them well, and it also can tell students the tense, voice and mood. Let’s take an example: I should have studied last semester. If a learner well knows the function of the subjunctive mood, he or she can easily decode the implication of the speaker: he or she should study last semester, but he or she did not.Chinese interference―Still some students cannot directly understand English ma terials; they are used to translating English into Chinese while listening‖(池涌,2004:44). The students can not use English to think. When they hear the information which is transferred byEnglish, most students would translate the information into Chinese, and then understand the information, but during listening time is limited, they will miss a lot of information.Listening habitsDuring the listening process, the students should understand the general idea of the materials, and try to catch the major content, which is the key point. But many Chinese students have some bad habits while listening. The students always try their best to get the meaning of each words, each sentences. Sometimes when they meet a new word or a difficulty sentence, they will stop to think, then they can not catch up with the speed any more. Actually, it is unnecessary to know every word, every sentence, only should catch the main idea and grasp the major point, which is enough. Background knowledgeThe background knowledge is indispensable in listening comprehension. ―Language is a kind of cultu ral expression. It is very necessary for students to know some background about English countries, such as the history, culture, customs and habits, even life styles‖ (戴炜栋何兆熊,2002:28). Language is a kind of cultural expression. The relationship between language and culture is very close, and different countries have different cultures. It is necessary for students to know some background knowledge about the English countries.Psychological factorsListener’s listening ability is also influenced by psycholo gical factors. During listening, the listener may meet some words or sentences they do not know, it will make them feel very nervous. ―Anxiety has a negative effect on listening comprehension‖(闫美英, 2001: 69). Some students say that as soon as the listening is played, they become worried and afraid, even feel that they have nothing in minds. Some students are too eager to get high marks, but they are afraid that they can’t follow the exam content and listening speed, so they are over worried. As a result, they seem to have nothing in mind, and then they fail to catch the information which they need.Project DesignPeriod1-2Activity: development of interest and Triumph of psychology barriers.Objective: arouse the students’ interest and get over the psychology barriers.

Only in this way, students can be interested in listening. At first, I played an easy English song and write the lyrics on the blackboard. I asked my students to hum the song along the music. I found most of them clapped their hands and hummed. But still several students such as Wen Zhichao and Hu Chuanshuo kept silent and didn’t give any sign of understanding. So I asked them to work in pairs and one student teach the other how to sing in English ，and then take the turn. In this way Wen Zhichao and Hushuo began to sing in English. That’s great, they began to op en their mouths and show a little interest in English because they were laughing after they had had their turn. Then I played an English movie in spare time. Student took an great interest in it. Some of them tried repeating the words the person said in the movie. So that was the ready for the listening learning.The teacher should help their students to realize that although listening is very difficult, but it is the first step of any language learning. It is very important for students to have a good psychological state while listening. So teachers should help their students to build up confidence to overcome the difficult, and never give up. In traditional English class, teachers and students pay much attention to grammar, and many students are unwilling to open their mouths to speak English. They feel nervous and are afraid of making mistakes. All these factors hinder students’ listening comprehension. The teacher should combine speaking and listening together, encourage the students to speak out. Students will get good marks if they listen to the listening materials in a relaxed and pleasant mood. To arouse student’s interest in English, the teacher can choose some interesting materials for students to listen to, and the materials cannot be too difficult, or they will easily frustrate students’ confidence. So according to the material, we can complement some questions and use the forms of‖ ask and answer‖, retelling, reviewing to give more chances for studentso state their own opinions. In this way, not only can we encourage students to listen enthusiastically, but also can improve their spoken English. To make the teaching contents colorful and authentic. Teachers can use English songs or movies as an auxiliary method to arouse students’ interest in list ening. The teacher can also set some brainstorm questions which students are interested to discuss before listening, which will arouse their great interest in the topic. Students will try their best to state their own opinions. It is a good method to draw students’ attention to the listening text and also a good way to activate the atmosphere of the classroom.Pronunciation trainingIn order to improve the students’ pronunciation, the teacher should ask students to do more exercise. At the beginning of the listening training, teachers must introduce something about connecting reading, weak reading, lost tone and stress shifting, and pay more attention to the pronunciation and intonation, so that students can overcome the barriers in the English listening. For example, let them distinguish the difference between two minimal pairs, or to identify whether the two sounds are the same. Such as sixteen - sixty, cool – cold, nice – knife and so on. When I played the tape for the first time, many students confused when they heard them. They hardly wrote down correctly. I tried to play it again and again; finally, more than90% of them could write down all the words that they heard correctly. They looked glad because of successful.Enhancement of students’ vocabularies and grammar knowledgeV ocabularyV ocabulary is the foundation of a language. Listeners must have enough vocabulary for their improvement in listening because vocabulary affects listening directly. If students do not have enough vocabulary, when they come across some unfamiliar words or phrases they will feel nervous and miss some information, which will affect students’ global understanding of the listening text. Therefore, students must try every method to increase their vocabulary. To acquire a large vocabulary the students should accumulate every word they have learnt. Even if some students’ vocabulary is large enough, they can still come across new words. They must continuelistening, and try to use both linguistic and non-linguistic knowledge or cues which they can get in further listening to infer the information.In the past, students remembered the new words by the vocabulary list. In this way, it’s difficult to remember the words and forget them easily. Therefore, I explored new ways to teach students vocabularies and made students interested in memorizing words. For example, ask students to learn some words by heart through sentences, which helps students to remember the meaning of the words and its morphological features and usage in a concrete language background. For example, when I taught ―used to‖，―concentrate on ―,I let the students remember them in these sentences:―I used to be afraid of the dark‖―Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.‖Because of this way to remember the new words, students made a great progress on remembering the words. They didn’t make sentences freely before, but after using this method to remember, students could make sentences with the words more easily than before.GrammarGrammar plays an important part in listening. Grammar can help the students to analyze sentence structure and pattern, and help them to understand the whole material. The purpose of recognition of the sentence pattern and capture of the key information is to understand the meaning of the speaker’s utterance. So students have to have a good command of the knowledge of grammar in order to improve their listening comprehension.In this part, I explained the differences among the different tenses.The present continuous tenseThe past Continuous TenseThe Present Perfect TenseThe Past Perfect TenseThe present perfect continuous tenseI showed them their structures and usages. And I gave them some excise to practice:1 What are you doing?I am watching (watch) TV.2 He was doing (do) his homework when the UFO arrived.3 Xu Mengru has learnt (learn) 1,000 words so far.4 The bus had already left when he got to the station.5 I have been collecting the shells for six years.Extension of students’ cultural background know ledgeThe teacher should encourage students to touch English as much as possible, such as reading some English newspapers, magazines and original novels, which contain a lot of information of English-speaking countries. The more students read, the more knowledge they know. I let students make full use of the English movies or TV programs to gain some background knowledge. All these aim at making students familiar with those English speaking culture and traditions besides what have been explained in the classroom. I think students who know more about western courtiers’ culture must do better than students who know little about western courtiers’ culture in listening comprehension. So students must read widely, enlarge common knowledge and pay attention to the currents and newest achievements of scientific culture.I found that students were interested in them. For example, different table manners between the Chinese and the westerners. We often use chopsticks to fetch the food, but in western countries, people use knives and forks.Listening practiceThis part contains four sets of listening practice. We should notice the following things before listening.1 Pre—listening activitiesFirst, the teacher can help their students become better predictor. If there is a picture with the listening passage, the students can be asked to predict what the passage will contain before they listen. If there is no picture, perhaps the teacher can find and draw a picture that fits the text. Second, the teacher should help the student to listen for the gist. The key is to ask students one or two questions that focus on mainidea or the tone or mood of the whole passage. Notice that students can answer the gist question even though they do not understand every word or phrase in the passage. Then, let students listening for specific information.2 While-listening activitiesIf the teacher provides a reason, goal, or task for the learner, this can encourage and help the listener to focus. In order to draw students’ attention, the tea cher can let students do some activities, such as listen and trick, listen and sequence, listen and act, listen and draw, listen and fill, listen and take notes.3 Post-listening activitiesPost--- listening, teachers can determine how well the students have understood what they listened to, but it is important to design the tasks well. ―One important point to keep in mind is whether we are testing the students’ listening comprehension or their memory. In fact, in real life, listener can remember the gist of the conversation, but cannot remember exactly what words were said. It is more natural to select and interpret what we hear rather than repeat everything we have heard Here are some types of post-listening activity, answering questions, note-taking, gap-filling and dictation.I gave the students four sets of papers. Each paper contained three parts. Part 1 was easy. That was to choose the correct answers according to the pictures.part2 were to choose the best answer according to the short dialogue. Part 3 was to listen a short passage and then wrote ―true‖ or ―false‖, this part was a little difficult for students to understand the main idea of the passage.When they did part 1, they wrote the answers quickly. They felt relaxed. Almost all the students did this part in the right way.When they did part 2, students felt a little difficulty because of the short dialogue. Sometimes they were afraid to choose the best answer. So it requires students to listen carefully and caught the key information. They should also understand what the question was in each dialogue. Just to do this, they would choose the best answers.When they did part 3, I found they couldn’t do each statement correctly. This part was very difficult for them. I plan to practice it frequently in the future.Date AnalysisProject EvaluationAs I expect,almost all the students make progress on the listening learning. I think the result is successful. These following statements are why it is a successful project.The helpful direction of the tutor.I had prepared enough before carrying out the project.The practice is based on the theory basis.My elder sister offers me some useful information.The student actively cooperated with me. During the whole process, they behaved well. No one talked when they listened to the tape.ConclusionBecause my students are limited in listening, which hinders their further English leaning; I designed this project with the help of the tutor. Acc ording to the students’situation, I gave them special listening training from the easy to the difficult. To begin with, I gave them some confusing words, then, short dialogues, passages. During the whole implementation, I watched every student’ behavior a nd offered help if they had any problems. I think listening practice is not a day or two days’ work. We should continue to practice in future. I hope my students must be overcome the difficulties in listening.Bibliography马占祥.
