初中英语听力学习方法介绍
初中英语听力学习方法介绍 其实听力的培养并不难,只要师生都树立信心,尽可能多地抓住实践机会,反复练习便可以提高听力水平。下面是由的初中英语听力学习方法，一起来看看吧。 1.三步听力预测验证训练法 老师在听力训练前告诉学生听力材料的标题,要求学生分析标 题来预测段落内容, 并在老师的帮助下运用经验来推论结果。接着,通过听来验证学生的预测并对比检测结果; 强化学生的预测判断能力, 加强听力的目的性, 保证听力训练的效度。如听力材料: Pollution。 第一步, 老师首先板书听力材料的主题———Pollution。 第二步, 师生设问和讨论预测内容并推导结论:What’s Pollution? How many kinds? Where is it fromin your opinions? How to stop different kinds of pollution? 第三步, 听录音验证假设。 2.任务型听力训练法
该方法要求学生在听懂的基础上,利用输入的语言信息去完成一项任务或多项任务。这些任务是老师围绕听力材料所提供的语言情景和语言信息预先设计的,通过任务的完成和此后的评价来检验学生的理解程度。 (1)录音填表格。(略) (2)听后画图。初级听力训练阶段需要学生运用抽象思维能力,更需要学生运用形象思维能力。听后画图的方法旨在培养学生的空间定位能力、想像力以及信息接受、处理、联想、加工及组合能力。 (3)听后写(通知、信、邀请函等) 。老师选用部分应用文体做听力材料, 既培养学生信息的转换能力, 又强化四会技能的相互渗透。听是写和说的基础,说和写是听的提高。 (4)听后回答,重述,转述。听后回答可采用四种问答方式: ①一般疑问句问答,弄清人物的职业身份;②围绕where、when、what来设计问答,弄清事情经过及发生的时间地点;③围绕how、why来设计问答,弄清事情的前因后果及方式方法;④围绕标题内容来设计, 目的是帮助学生理解言外之意,促使学生能运用自己的综合语言能力进行创造性问答。重述要求学生将听到的材料一字不漏叙述出来,训练学

怎样训练英语专八听力
怎样训练英语专八听力 全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析，从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题，提高听力水平提出了一些建议。 怎样训练英语专八听力 （１）选择准确的听力材料 实际上,“听”和“说”不分家的原则也体现在TEM-8考试中。TＥM－8考试听力均选自一般口语性较强、反映现代生活的英语资料。因此,考生可以集中精力多听一些大众媒介英语，进行实战演习。所选听力材料在难度上应低于阅读材料，因为读不懂的东西一般听不懂。来源于报刊、杂志、电影、电视的英语是练习听力的极好的材料。英语专业的学生，特别是高年级学生,可以通过看原版电影或听电影录音剪辑来练习听力。一般学校都会有丰富的音像资料，许多城市还专门开辟了英语电视频道,电视英语新闻对考生应付ＴＥM-8考试第三部分有很大的帮助。 (２）选用恰当的练习方法 练习听力时，大家可采取“精听”和“泛听”两种方式结合来训练自己，前者的重点在于深度，后者则注重广度。精听的目的在于从what，whｏ，ｗｈeｒe, ｗhen, wｈy 和ｈow等角度入手，弄懂与之有关的所有问题,即所有细节性问题;而泛听则是听懂大意即
可。通过这两方面长期不懈的努力，考生最终能获得用英语进行思维的能力。如果能做到用英语思考问题,那么做对几道试题是不会有太多困难的,因为试题从广义上也就分为两大类，局部理解题和通篇理解题,前者属于精听的范畴,而后者则属于泛听的对象。听的目的在于懂，那么，如何衡量自己是否听懂呢?一个行之有效的方法就是“复述”。在听完一个片段后，可将所听的内容重复一遍，如果具有较高的准确度，就说明真正听懂了;否则需要再听一遍,如果连听几遍还无法较为满意地复述，说明所听内容太难，应予以更换。 与此同时，还应通过“读”帮助“听”,特别是在听新闻方面。与其他听力材料相比,新闻具有其鲜明的特点。新闻的内容特别广泛,几乎覆盖生活的各个方面。听英语新闻的最大一个障碍是对新闻词汇的生疏。因此，在学习听新闻的初级阶段,可以阅读一些大众媒体文献,如报纸、刊物，从中积累一些新闻用语,一些重要组织的名称如ＥＥC(Eurｏpean EconoｍiｃComｍunity)欧洲经济共同体、IMF(I ｎterｎationａl MonetａrｙFunｄ）国际货币基金会、ＯPＥC(Or ｇanｉｚatiｏn of ＰetｒoｌeumＥｘporting Ｃｏuｎtｒｉes)石油输出国组织、NＡSA（Naｔional Aeroｎａutiｃs anｄSpac ｅAｄmｉnｉstrａtｉon)国家航空和航天局;单词如upｓurｇe(高涨)、manｏｅuvｒｅ(策略)、ｅscａlation（升级)、allｅgation(断言)等等。对现实生活各个领域的词汇都略知一二是听懂新闻的基础。新闻作为一种语言测试题型也是语言在现实生活中真实运用的体现。在TＥM-8考试中，新闻的内容均为考生所熟悉的一般性政治、经济、

2019 专八真题听力练习Body language and mind Good morning, everyone. In today’s lecture, I‘d like to focus on how our body language reveals who we are. We ’re really fascinated with body language, and particularly interested in other people’s body language. You know, we’re someti interested in an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe very awkward wink, or handshake. So what kind of body language am I talking about? I am interested in 1___________________ — that is the nonverbal expressions of power and dominance. And what are nonverbal expressions of power and dominance? Well, this is what they are. In the animal kingdom, nonverbal expressions of power and dominance are about 2________. So you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space and you are basically opening up. And ?and humans do the same thing. So they do this when they ’re feeling powerful in the moment. And this one is especially interesting because it really shows us how universal and old these expressions of power are. For example, when athletes cross the finish line and they’ve won, it doesn’t matter if they’v seen anyone do it. They do this. So the arms are up in the V sign, the chin is slightly lifted. But what do we do when we feel powerless? We do exactly the opposite. 3_________________________. We make ourselves small. We don want’tto bump into the person next to us. And this is what happens when you put together high and low power. So what we tend to do when it comes to power is that we complement the other ’s nonverbals. What I mean is if someone is being really powerful with us, we tend to 4__________________________________.We don’5t________________. We do the opposite. I’mwatching this behavior in the classroom, and guess what I have noticed. I notice that MBA students really exhibit the full range of power nonverbals. They get right into the middle of the room before class even starts, like they really want to 6________________. When they sit down, they ’7re sort of . They raise their hands high. You have other people who are virtually collapsing when they come in. as soon as they, I mean other people, come in, you see it. You see it on their faces and their bodies, and they sit in their chair and they make themselves 8________, and they will not fully stretch their arms when they raise their hands. I
2019年中考英语听力7个满分训练技巧
2019年中考英语听力7个满分训练技巧 各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢 1.三步听力预测验证训练法 老师在听力训练前告诉学生听力材料的标题,要求学生分析标题来预测段落内容, 并在老师的帮助下运用经验来推论结果。接着, 通过听来验证学生的预测并对比检测结果; 强化学生的预测判断能力, 加强听力的目的性, 保证听力训练的效度。如听力材料: Pollution。 第一步, 老师首先板书听力材料的主题———Pollution。 第二步, 师生设问和讨论预测内容并推导结论:What’s Pollution? How many kinds? Where is it fromin your opinions? How to stop different kinds of pollution? 第三步, 听录音验证假设。 2.任务型听力训练法
该方法要求学生在听懂的基础上, 利用输入的语言信息去完成一项任务或多项任务。这些任务是老师围绕听力材料所提供的语言情景和语言信息预先设计的, 通过任务的完成和此后的评价来检验学生的理解程度。 录音填表格。 听后画图。初级听力训练阶段需要学生运用抽象思维能力, 更需要学生运用形象思维能力。听后画图的方法旨在培养学生的空间定位能力、想像力以及信息接受、处理、联想、加工及组合能力。 听后写。老师选用部分应用文体做听力材料, 既培养学生信息的转换能力, 又强化四会技能的相互渗透。听是写和说的基础, 说和写是听的提高。 听后回答,重述, 转述。听后回答可采用四种问答方式: ①一般疑问句问答, 弄清人物的职业身份; ②围绕where、when、what 来设计问答,弄清事情经过及发生的时间地点; ③围绕how、why
