“听”是一种积极的综合技巧,也是外语学习中最困难的一个环节。1981年,美国在亚洲22个地区举办的TOEFL考试中,我国考生的总分居于第9位,语法结构为第5位,阅读列于第6位,而听力却排在第20位!在教学实践中,我们发现不少学员尽管具有一定的英语语法知识,掌握一定量的生活及专业词汇,能阅读并翻译所学专业的英语文献资料,但却往往听不懂那些本来一看就懂的词或句。有时,即使听懂了只言片语,也会在瞬间忘掉。“听”之所以困难,是由于讲话内容、语音、语调、语速等都取决于对方,而听者则处于完全被动的地位。为了迅速提高听力水平,听外语讲话时,必须抓住听的重点和学会听的方法。简而言之,即解决“听什么”和“怎样听”这两个问题。 “Listening” is a kind of active comprehensive skill and it is also the most difficult part in foreign language learning. In 1981, in the TOEFL test held in 22 regions in Asia, the country’s candidates ranked 9th in overall score, 5th in grammar structure, 6th in reading, and 20th in listening! In practice, we found that although many students have a certain amount of knowledge of English grammar, a certain amount of life and professional vocabulary, and can read and translate the English literature of the major they study, they often do not understand what they would have understood at first glance. Word or sentence. Sometimes, even if you understand a few words, you will forget it in an instant. The reason why “listening” is difficult is that the contents, speech, intonation, speech rate and so on of the speeches all depend on each other, and the listeners are completely passive. In order to quickly improve listening skills, listening to a foreign language must be focused on listening and learning methods. In short, the two issues of “listening to what” and “how to listen to” are resolved.
