Abstract
A number of people have frequently made the point that the total time and individual engage in communication; approximately 9% of which is devoted to writing, 16%to reading, 30%to speaking, and 45%to listening. It is therefore undoubtedly the case that listening should be given more attention in language teaching. But in the foreign language’s learning process, the people generally feel that it is difficult to foster and improve one’s listening ability. But the author thinks that these are closely relative to the complication of listening itself, the language knowledge and skill of the listeners and Chinese traditional teaching model. But from the investigation the author can see that listeners’ difficulties mainly present in following aspects: 1). The listener cannot follow the speed of the speakers, 2). The listeners cannot get the main ideas of the material, 3). The listeners are lack of certain memory techniques, 4). The listener’s understanding is beyond the material. Therefore take this as the topic to make to solve these problems, the author proposes some listening skills in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, background knowledge, note and so on, and the goal is to provide some methods of English listening teaching for English teachers and to help the listeners to improve their listening comprehension.

摘 要
据统计，听，说，读，写在人们的语言使用中各占的时间比重一般是听45%，说30%，读16%，写9%。由此可见听力的重要性。然而，在外语的学习过程中，人们又普遍感觉听力培养和提高的艰难性，作者认为这与听力本身所涉及因素的复杂性，听者所掌握的语言知识和所具备的技能及我国传统的外语教学模式密切相关。而由调查所知，听者的困难主要体现在跟不上速度；抓不住要点；缺乏连贯的记忆能力；听不进等几方面，因此以此为题加以研究，试图从听力与语音、语法、词汇、背景知识、笔记等几方面探讨，目的是提供一些办法给英语教师和帮助听者提高他们的听力理解能力。
