摘要：Owing to the importance of listening comprehension among the four basic second language acquisition skills, considerable attention has been given to the pedagogic method of improving listeners’ proficiency. In China, there exist some problems in English listening teaching in Senior Middle Schools. Professor Wang Zhongyan said “In listening teaching, it is not unusual that teachers just play records without offering any hints”. In listening teaching, listeners are only viewed as passive receivers without any hints. After listeners listen to a passage once or twice, teachers check the answers, and then play the tape sentence by sentence. However, listening comprehension is an active process. The importance of developing students’ listening competence in Senior Middle School English Teaching is obvious. So far much work has been done at home and abroad to look for ways to facilitate students’ listening competence.
