听力理解是语言学习者需要具备的重要学习技能。而由于客观原因限制,我国大学英语课堂上的听力学习时间十分有限,这就需要教师在课堂上积极对学生进行方法上的引导,进行有效地课堂教学,并协助学生在课外进行听力自主学习。从教学角度探讨在大学英语课堂如何应用“自上而下”法辅助学生提高听力水平,旨在让学生跳脱高中英语听力学习模式,进行有效学习。 Listening comprehension is an important learning skill that language learners need to possess. Due to the limitation of objective reasons, our country’s college English class has very limited time for listening, which requires teachers to actively guide students in the classroom, conduct effective classroom teaching, and assist students to perform autonomous listening learning outside class. From the perspective of teaching, this paper discusses how to apply the “top down” method in college English class to help students improve their listening ability. It is designed to enable students to escape the high school English listening learning model and conduct effective learning.
