【正文】 as the author’s research aim and main research questions, the author designed the questionnaire on its own. When designing the questions, the author have some principles to take into consideration: not to raise too simple or too plicate questions for participants。 Lynch, 1988:2)Compared with the past pedagogy, this approach further exposed the relationship between listening and pronunciation so that it created many new ways of practice on phonemes and single sentences to improve the listener’s listening and at the same time emphasized that oral English practice must be supported with plenty of listening materials. However, the Audiolingual Method had a very limited understanding of listening.

Ronald and Roskelly (1985) define listening as an active process requiring the same skills of prediction, hypothesizing, checking, and revising. As an English teacher, the author believes that listening is the language skill that students acquire. Listening, which plays a lifelong role in the process of munication, provides a foundation for all language development. Some recent studies describes listening as an active process in which listeners select and interpret information that es from auditory and visual clues in order to define what is going on and what the speakers are trying to express (Clark 1977。 Theodore (2000) points out that “Students were often found to be unable transfer skills acquired through Audiolingualisim to real munication outside the classroom, and man found the experience of studying through audiolingual procedures to be boring and unsatisfying.” Taskedbased Listening TeachingTaskedbased Listening is an activity which requires learners to arrive at an oute from given information through some process of thought, and which allows teachers to control and regulate that process (Prabhu, 1987：47). Or it is an activity or action which is carried out as the result of processing or understanding language. For example, drawing a map while listening to an instruction and performing a mand, may be referred to as tasks. Tasks may or may not involve the production of language. A task usually requires the teacher to specify what will be regarded as successful pletion of the task. The use of different kinds of tasks in language teaching is said to make language teaching snore municative since it provides a purpose for a classroom activity which goes beyond the practice of language for its own sake (Richards et a1., 1985). Any classroom work which involves learners in prehending, manipulating, producing or interacting in the target language while their attention is principally focused on meaning rather than form. The task should also have a sense of pleteness, being able to stand alone as a municative act in its own right (Nunan, 1993). To sum up, task could be defined basically as follow: a task is an activity that requires learners to use the target language, with meaning at the core, to achieve an objective, and the current situation in Ankang University goes against it. Because of these reasons, some problems are caused.3. Research design and result discussion Research designThis section is to investigate the teachers’ understanding of listening and listening teaching, and the nonEnglish majors’ problems in and out of class. So as to provide useful date on how to conduct the class teaching for the teachers, and how to learn in and out of class for the nonEnglish majors. In this investigation, the author would like to use questionnaires. The popularity of questionnaire is due to two characteristics of it: it is easy to construct。 to use clear definition when the question contains concepts。t know what the interactive activity is. So we need to consider what teachers should teach students and how to teach listening. Second, after investigation, the author found nearly % of the students don’t have good listening habit. Only % of the students practice listening one hour a day, but some of them choose improper materials. % of the students listen to English twice or three times a week. The author feels very sorry that % of the students don’t practice listening at all after class. More than % of the students told the author that they couldn’t understand the normal speed listening materials, because it is hard for them to get information through this kind of materials. In the daily life, they have got used to the slow speed of speech of the teachers and the text tapes. When listening t
