听力在个体日常生活交流中起着重要角色,同时也是学生学习英语的障碍之一。然而英语听力教学在外语教学中并没有受到相应的重视。听力一直是英语教学中的薄弱环节,很少有教师设计专门的听力课,听力练习则主要集中于听课文和课本习题。课堂听力和应试听力是英语听力教学最重要的两个方面,外语教师要考虑学生因素,合理设计,多运用一些方法丰富听力教学,提高学生听力能力,为学生将来进行良好的交流奠定基础。 Listening plays an important role in the communication of daily life of individuals and is also one of the obstacles for students to learn English. However, English listening teaching in foreign language teaching did not receive the appropriate attention. Listening has always been a weak link in English teaching. Few teachers design specialized listening classes, while listening practice mainly focuses on listening to texts and textbooks. Listening comprehension in classroom and listening comprehension are the two most important aspects of English listening teaching. Foreign language teachers should consider student factors, design reasonably, use more methods to enrich listening teaching, improve students ’listening ability, and lay the foundation for students’ good communication in the future.
