What are the effective ways to improve English listening?
Many small partners worry about how to improve English listening. In fact, the key is two words – listen more.
Really, not to perfunctory, but to say a truth.
It is a conservative estimate that I have been listening to English for at least 10,000 hours in the past seven years. Now I realize that I have been practicing the 10,000 hour rule.
This is commonly known as “ear grinding” in English majors.
I still remember that on the first day of class in my freshman year, I could only understand 20% of what the teacher taught in English, and then gradually I could understand 50%-80%-100%.
Of course, listening is also about methods.
Many people may know that English listening is divided into fine listening and general listening, but as far as I know most people are mistaken in the order of these two training methods, do not know if you are one of them?
Many people think that when they have a small vocabulary at the beginning, they should listen to everything, so there is a scene like this: every day with earphones in their ears, they either listen to English songs, American TV series, or VOA, which is called “immersed in English environment”.
But have you improved your English listening?
Not really. At best, I remember the melody.
In the end, you think the effort, just moved themselves.
So what’s the right way to open it?
Listen carefully and then combine carefully.
If you really want to improve your English, you must rely on listening carefully. That is, you can hear every word in a sentence 360 degrees without dead Angle, rather than understand a certain word in a sentence.
Because it doesn’t matter if you only understand one or two words, or don’t know what they mean?
Our aim in learning a language is to understand the meaning of what is being said, not one or two words.
Now that we understand why, let’s talk about the practical method.
The best way to practice listening is dictation, which is also a required test for students majoring in English. It is a way to improve English listening step by step.
What are listening, speaking, reading and writing?
Listening and reading is the input, speaking and writing is the output, so at the beginning if the English level is not too high, it is recommended to start from listening and reading, a lot of input first, output is a natural thing.
For an easy to understand example, drink too much water, you will naturally want to go to the bathroom.
If the order is reversed, no input, forced to output, not only the learning effect is not obvious, but also will produce a strong sense of frustration.
Therefore, English learning must follow the correct order and method.
So, for poor English, my advice is listen – read – speak – write.
