But in the past English learners do not pay much attention to listening and speaking, the result is that they learned English for a life time but still “deaf” and “dumb”. Listening is one of the most important munication skills, many researchers both native and international have did numerous research on it, and have submit many theories. Some theories concerning English listening The definition of listening As an invisible mental process, different people give different definitions about listening. In the opinion of Michael Rost (20xx) in Teaching Listening Comprehension, every definition of listening has some unique aspect. The definition of listening can be understood in four orientations, the receptive, the constructive, the collaborative and the transformative. In Underwood’s (1989, cited in Dunkel, 1991： 24) understanding, listening is “the activity of paying attention to and trying to get meaning from something we hear”. In simple way to students, listening means catching what the speaker says. Michael’s definition of listening is that listening is experiencing contextual effect. Different experts also offer other listening definitions. Thomlison’s (1984) definition of listening includes “active listening,” which goes beyond prehending literally to an empathetic understanding of the speaker. Hirsch (1986) groups definitions as attempts to define the process。 therefore it affords a good deal of precision and clarity. Questionnaires can be used on a small scale, inhouse, and on a large scale, requiring little more extra effort than photocopying and postage (though for largescale survey work this can consume a significant budget, especially when using stamped selfaddressed envelopes for returns). Data can be gathered in several different time slots: all at once in a class, in the respondents’ own time as long as it is easy to return, at convenience when a suitable respondent happens to e along, and in different locations at different times。s knowledge of English. That is to say if students want to improve their listening, they must read English widely, listen to English materials widely, and improve other skills at the same time. Old and unauthentic materials In Ankang University, many listening materials used today are unauthentic and not suitable for the students and for listening teaching indeed. The listening materials which Ankang University’s students used are the recorded materials of written language. These materials are usually extracted from some written prose with Standard English lack of the characteristics of spoken language and are difficult to understand. And listening prehension exercises are usually prepared in advance and read aloud by the teachers or on the tape, which obviously does not provide the land of practice needed. Many books of listening exercises often consist of passages originally posed as written texts. Students in Ankang University often listen to the text without any idea of what they are going to hear or what they are listening for, and then they have to answer prehension questions, usually multiplechoice. This is a convenient classroom technique, which does provide a certain type of practice— but it does not provide any realistic preparation for reallife listening. Students getting used to this kind of slow and clear English find it hard to municate with English native speakers in reallife listening, because they often fail to follow the rate of speech and to understand the idioms, slang and locutions used by native speakers. Although some can get high marks in listening test, they still find it rather difficult to catch what native speakers say and even more difficult to talk with them face to face. Unrealistic listening materials The contents of the listening materials often lose contact with the reality and with some specific situation。 to use clear definition when the question contains concepts。 how sound is received, prehended, and acted upon. Ronald and 3 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。 通過(guò) 對(duì)調(diào)查得出的數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行 的 深入分析，發(fā)現(xiàn)這些問(wèn)題是老師和學(xué)生共同作用的結(jié)果。 problems。 本科生畢業(yè)論文 題目 ： 大 學(xué)生英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力水平的 調(diào)查與研究 —— 以安康學(xué)院為例 學(xué) 號(hào) 0825024010 分類(lèi)號(hào) 2 Investigation and Research on the college students’ English Listening Ability —— Taking Ankang University as an Example Luo Zhengjie Superviso
