1、How to Improve Listening Ability of English for StudentsAbstract: During my job, I have been totally felt the fear of Students for English listening. Its self-evident that English listening is one of the most important parts of English teaching for Students . At present, there is a certain distance
2、between listening ability acquired by junior middle students and curriculum objectives. Many students can do a very good job in written exams but feel completely confused in listening tests. Why is listening so difficult for Students to understand? What are the reasons? How to solve the problem? Key

IntroductionThe purpose of E
4、nglish teaching focus on cultivating students to use language for communication, which contains four skills of capability, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. Listening teaching is an important and difficult task for Students . English teachers often regard it as a common problem of
5、improving the students listening ability. In real life, interpersonal communication mainly concerns about listening and speaking communication, while the traditional mode of education students trained in listening and speaking fell far behind in reading and writing skills. Its an indisputable fact t
6、hat many students become a deaf or a dumb after learning a foreign language for many years. And I heard the improvement of communication skills has much to do with the improvement of listening skill. However, many Students have significant problems during the hearing process. Therefore, to improve l
7、istening ability has not only become the dream of most Students , but also the wish of many junior middle school English teachers. This article aims at how to improve English listening skills for Students from the following aspects: raise the question, analyze the problem and solve the problem.2. Ra
8、ising the question Listening is the premise of receiving language information. Only after understanding the listening can we properly accept and use the information. According to a proven statistics, we spend 45 percent of our time in listening, 30 percent in speaking, 16 percent and 9 percent in re
9、ading and writing respectively, from which we can see the necessity of listening improvement. In modern society, listening and speaking are often regarded as communication skills that determine the success or failure of a person, which is the needs of social development, with the development of Engl
10、ish exam reformation, the importance of listening as a major component of the English test has been widely recognized and valued among the community, teachers and students. Therefore, its imminent to improve the listening ability of middle school students so as to stand on an invincible position dur
11、ing the examination. Junior middle students in hearing directly affect the quality of their schools into high-level English education and the comprehensive ability, which may affect their future development. However, as the things stand today, the majority of students in Students , particularly in r
12、ural areas feel bad in the hearing and lose lots of points in the listening examination, which directly affects their performance in English and even their interest in learning English. Its Undeniable that English teachers in many of the junior middle school havent implemented good teaching of the l
13、istening because of some constraints, which result in slow improvement in listening of the students. So to solve this problem has already become the most important of English language teaching.3， Analyzing the reasons3.1. Barriers of their English ability and sound change phenomena students find it
14、difficult to understand when new words, new sentences and new grammatical phenomena appeared in the listening material, other factors such as the Italian group, continuous sound of assimilation, sentence stress and intonation, changes in the speed of speech rate, reading skills and many other reason
15、s are likely to increase The difficulty of listening comprehension, which may also affect the students understanding.3.2. Barriers of cultural difference and different living habitsDue to the different British American lifestyle and cultural background, students still find it difficult to understand
16、 fully even if the material has no new words. If you let students listen to a story about Chinas traditional festival such as Mid-Autumn Festival articles and article on the content of foreign Christmas, the two almost equal easy, but for a Chinese student listening to the content of former article
17、is much better than the latter one. Now, let me just give you one small example: Lily went to Beijing on Christmas Eve and she stayed there for 3daysQuestion：On what day did Lily get back? AOn Oct 23； BOn Oct 24； COn Oct 26；DOn Oct 27The right answer is D. But some students chose A, since he has hea
18、rd the word “three”, others simply replied: I was luck, because I do not know what time Christmas Eve is. 3.3. Psychological barriers.Listening comprehension is a more complex psychological process. Students always feel the low level of their hearing and are easy to produce the fear of listening in
19、a passive state, which result in too much tension and less concentration on listening; this will in turn lead to much loss of points. Some students are always want to listen to every word clearly during listening comprehension, which also plays a negative effect on understanding of the whole article
20、. In addition, the external environment such as indoor and outdoor noise, radio cassette player quality, the size of the sound may also affect the students listening comprehension during the listening process.3.4. Lack of language environment On the one hand, English teachers speak Chinese most time
21、s during class rather English since many students can not understand and they ask their teachers to speak more Chinese. On the other hand, students almost use standard Chinese for communication in everyday life and seldom practice English with their classmates and teachers. Therefore, students have
22、little opportunity for exposure to English, and the occasional English class will be the only language environment for the students. In such a language environment, much time and effort should be taken to improve their English listening skills.3.5 Limited teaching conditions Currently, many classroo
23、ms in rural schools havent multi-media teaching instruments, so students are exposed to English listen only when the teacher sometimes speak English at class and during the listening test. Many students can not afford to buy some listening devices such as MP3, MP4, etc., in addition to classes the n
24、ormal hearing test is almost beyond the reach of English outside of the class, not to say how to improve listening ability, so these largely affect the students Improvement and development of hearing ability. 3.6 Lack of examination skillsFirst of all, students do not know how to make the best of th
25、e limited time before listening test and analyze the implicit information given by the listening test, so they have no clear direction and selectivity during the listening process; Secondly, the students will think more about a few words during the process of listening tests because of not understan
26、ding clearly, which may affect the whole understanding of the test； Last but not the least, some students want to understand all of the details and meaning of the test, which seems unnecessary and may indirectly affect the accuracy of the answer, since ones mind is always thinking of it. Once someth
27、ing is not understandable, its easy to be irritable.4 Solving the problem4.1 From the prospective of the teachers4.1.1 Teachers play a leading role, use more English and oral expression to create English language environment for the studentsNew curriculum is characterized by colloquial English, comm
28、unication, practical, and its content is very close to life. In most secondary schools, especially in rural schools, lack of English language learning environment, students only have access to English schools, and only might have felt the atmosphere of English in the English classroom. Therefore , E
29、nglish teachers should organize more accurate and easy understanding English combining with gestures, facial expressions and etc during the English and write more on the blackboard to help students understand the meaning of spoken English, which is to activate the classroom atmosphere and inspire th
30、e enthusiasm, self-awareness and interest of the students in learning English. Secondly, teachers can request one or two students per day for 5 minutes Free talk, other students will require careful listening, after hearing a number of questions and answers, then to examine the effect of exercise. 4
31、.1.2 Teachers should emphasize on the pronunciation foundationAs the old saying goes, to teach him to fish rather than to give him the fish.” So its better to teach students the voice of knowledge, universal knowledge of their pronunciation and intonation in the beginning after students entering jun
32、ior middle school, so that they learn to recognize English pronunciation. Teachers should also encourage students to listen to the pure voice of English repeatedly and imitate them. Slowly they will develop a habit of authentic spoken English, because the pure authentic standard spoken English capab
33、ilities can not only improve their English communication skills, will also promote the development of their English listening. Third, teachers must guide students to memorize words in good ways. Its a prerequisite to learn words and the accumulation of learning any language, English is no exception.
34、 Learn to spend less time and energy to remember more words deeply is also good for ones listening, since the words pronunciation has much to do with the listening. In conclusion, good memory of the words and proper pronunciation will surely do help for ones listening.4.1.3 Put listening teaching as
35、 an important status in the English class When students first walked into English class, teachers should begin listening teaching and adhere to take the tape recorder into the classroom every day. New English textbooks have arranged listening training and language training, so teachers should make f
36、ull use of these materials to train the students step by step through a variety of listening practice, which can help the students to have a comprehensive understanding and capture important information through the Analysis of Meaning and semantic capabilities. Predictive power is the core of the se
37、mantic competence, thats to say, to imagine, guess, infer the meaning of the text and its inherent basic skills through the context. For instance, the article genre can be guessed through the subject of the article; the scope of the background and description can be known after hearing a few words a
38、t the beginning of the article; from the narration of the first paragraph, the development of the general context can be inferred. So in the hearing process, teachers should focus on training students with language based on the knowledge, cultural background knowledge and language knowledge, to full
39、y imagine, speculate, speculate, predict, and summarize the content. Besides the above discussion, teachers should also make best use of every class, every teaching link to cultivate and train students listening and speaking skills. Ask students to close the books and just listen to the tape careful
40、ly to familiar with its pronunciation, intonation, and to guess the main ideas and answer a few questions. Then get students to open the books to check the correct answers, to read the dialogue or text following by teachers, it will also be a great help for the students to improve their English list
41、ening comprehension.4.1.4 Pay much attention to repeated teaching and encourage students to read more and recite more of the listening textFirst of all, ask students to repeat what they have heard sentence by sentence, or to write down them if necessary during the listening training, of course, teac
42、hers should give a pause after a certain time. After finishing that, teachers give the standard answers. So that students do fully understand the contexts. This is also a good way to improve the students listening ability, and the fact of it is a really four carved stone since it has trained student
43、s listening, memory, writing and speaking through the process of listening and repeating, why not do it? In the second place, encourage students to foster the habits of reading and reciting listening draft, let them do it in the morning or in their spare time. The aim of it is to enable them to have
44、 a better understanding of many various topics and more importantly to cultivate their sense of English, which is a good preparation for their future listening tests and listening comprehension.4.1.5 Encourage students to absorb knowledge of English through various channels, to improve their English
45、 listening comprehension As we all know, English is the worlds most widely used language, and in our lives, in addition to Chinese language, the greatest exposure is the most frequent English, and society needs more and more English talents, so we must encourage students to see a brief plain English
46、 article, read more newspapers and magazines in English, to learn more about the cultural background and customs of English-speaking countries , etc.; use MP3 to listen to English radio stations and some English programs such as Li Yang Crazy English, as these fluent and pure English suitable for st
47、udents of English listening training. Students should regularly tuning in, and seriously imitate their tone of voice. In addition, teachers need to encourage students to speak English with each other anywhere outside of the class to form the deep atmosphere of English.4.1.6 Self-improvement of teach
48、ers listening ability is the premise of improvement of the studentsTo teachers, listening demanding higher quality, teachers must not only have profound knowledge of grammar, but also have excellent communication skills of listening and speaking. Its hard to require students to improve their listeni
49、ng if teachers have no solid basic skills. Therefore, Teachers should strive to overcome the interference of mother tongue, to enhance their listening training, regularly attend professional training courses in English listening, specifically to carry out research activities and explore feasible means of teaching English listening and teaching skills, and continuously improve the quality of their listening, speaking, and teac
