9、f class. What. discussed in the article will be helpful to English learners1. Listening processesTo help students to acquire the English listening ability, we need first to understand what happens when we listen. Mary Underwood (1989) points out that the listening process consists of three stages. 2
10、A: The sounds go into a sensory store, often called the echoic memory, and an organized in to meaningful units, according to the knowledge of the language the listener already has.B: Words or groups of words are checked and compared with information already held in the long-term memory and the meani
11、ng is extracted from them.C: After the listener has constructed a meaning from the utterance (which may or may not be the meaning that was intended by the speaker), he or she might transfer the information to the long-term memory for later use. It seems that generally listener who wants to do these
12、records the message and stores it in the long-term memory in a reduced form. The problem is that each of the three stages happen within a few seconds. Thus the foreign language learner may be unable to process the incoming stream fast enough and will fail to extract meaning from what they have heard
13、.At present, the process based on the receiving of acoustic signals is referred to as bottom-up processing while the process based on the application of background knowledge and contextual information to make predictions is known as top-down processing. The success in listening comprehension depends
14、 on the interaction of these processes. Neither can be lacking.2. Listening ProblemsTo help students to acquire the English listening ability, we need also to know their level and identify where their problems lie in listening. In listening to an extended passage or dialogue, they tend to treat each
15、 sentence in isolation and hence fail to make an inference, which needs to be drawn from the context. Very often they fail to distinguish the topic sentence from the development details and as a result they are uncertain about the main idea of the listening text they have heard. Also, vocabulary and
16、 the long and complicated sentence structure that is entirely different from that of their mother tongue present obstacles for them in understanding the listening text. If those students who have such problems are not encouraged to build up confidence and practice listening to overcome them, they ma
17、y remain throughout the four semesters. 3 Some of there problems reflect in doing listening comprehension in class related to the following aspects.2.1 Problem in the SoundsMany students in college find that the English words they have heard from the tape-recorder sound strange and different from th
18、e ones clearly enunciated by their teachers in middle schools 4. They dont know that pronunciation of a language is nowadays held to embrace three component factors, i.e., sounds, rhythm, intonation. As we all know, language learning begins with the ear, so in learning English pronunciation, first o
19、f all we should lean how to sounds. Little knowledge do they have about the fact that the pronunciation of words undergoes changes in the stream of speech. The problems are quite typical of foreign language learners. At the need, they fail to understand listening here is an example of failure to und
20、erstand is caused by stress. Listening text:A: Hi, a long time to hasnt seen you?B: Yes, by how about your basketball contest last week?A: Its terrible bad, the players are fight.B: Whats happen?A: They are contest for marks.Directions: listen to the tap and fill in the blanks with the words you hav
21、e heard. Its usually difficult for students to write contest. The reason is that the first contest is a noun, the stress is fall on the first syllable contest, and the second contest is a verb stress is fall on the second syllable contest. If students dont distinguish the position stress, they cant
22、write it correct.Stress is a feature of sounds that students tend to fail to notice in their listening. 2.2 Problem in the VocabularyIt cannot be doubted that lack of the necessary amount of vocabulary will 1 listening comprehension to failure. Inability to process the sounds into meaning words at t
23、he same time they are being perceived will have the same result. 5 Student said, Once I heard a word rob in a passage. I thought I had come aero before, but just could not remember its meaning right away. What I did next was keep on working out the meaning of .the word and could no longer concentrat
