有關(guān)英語聽力，一直是孩子們很頭疼的事情，孩子們平時(shí)也不少準(zhǔn)備英語單詞，也不少訓(xùn)練英語聽力的習(xí)題，那么孩子們?yōu)槭裁催€是聽不懂呢？那就是因?yàn)楹⒆觽冊谟⒄Z聽力的過程中，沒有掌握語境的作用。下面新東方英語學(xué)習(xí)方法小編教大家學(xué)習(xí)聽力的英語學(xué)習(xí)方法，供大家參考。
    每個(gè)外語老師都會覺得聽力是最難教的課程之一。這是因?yàn)椋寐犃Σ皇且蝗站毦偷?，它需要大量的?shí)踐練習(xí)。不像語法教學(xué)是有規(guī)律可循，說與寫作也有相應(yīng)的練習(xí)供同學(xué)提高，而聽力卻不然，這令同學(xué)們感到很頭疼。并不是說就沒有好的途徑提高聽力，只是難以對其進(jìn)行的量化而已。
    One of the largest inhibitors for students is often mental block. While listening, a student suddenly decides that he or she doesn't understand what is being said. At this point, many students just tune out or get caught up in an internal dialogue trying translate a specific word. Some students convince themselves that they are not able to understand spoken English well and create problems for themselves.
    對同學(xué)們來說，練習(xí)聽力時(shí)遇到的最大的障礙之一就是他們經(jīng)常精神溜號。聽著聽著，有的同學(xué)突然發(fā)覺自己聽不懂了。出現(xiàn)這種情況，許多同學(xué)是因?yàn)樽呱窳?，或者正在腦子想著某個(gè)詞的意思。有些同學(xué)太不自信，認(rèn)為自己沒有聽力天賦，聽不懂英語口語。這也給他們自己造成了很多麻煩。
    They key to helping students improve their listening skills is to convince them that not understanding is OK. This is more of an attitude adjustment than anything else, and it is easier for some students to accept than others. Another important point that I try to teach my students （with differing amounts of success） is that they need to listen to English as often as possible, but for short periods of time. 幫助同學(xué)們提高聽力的關(guān)鍵是要讓他們相信，聽不懂是沒什么的。態(tài)度上的轉(zhuǎn)變比什么都重要。何況，一些同學(xué)的態(tài)度也比較容易轉(zhuǎn)變。自己在教自己的同學(xué)（資質(zhì)各不相同）時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，還有一點(diǎn)很重要，那就是要讓同學(xué)盡量多聽英語，但每次聽不要時(shí)間過長。
    I like to use this analogy: Imagine you want to get in shape. You decide to begin jogging. The very first day you go out and jog seven miles. If you are lucky, you might even be able to jog the seven miles. However, chances are good that you will not soon go out jogging again. Fitness trainers have taught us that we must begin with little steps. Begin jogging short distances and walk some as well, over time you can build up the distance. Using this approach, you'll be much more likely to continue jogging and get fit.
    自己喜歡這樣類比：假如你想減肥。你打算去慢跑。第一天你出去跑了7英里。沒準(zhǔn)兒你還真能跑7英里。但是，你很可能近期就不再出去跑了。健美教練提醒孩子們，孩子們一開始要小步跑，跑的距離不宜過長，并走著回來。這樣，你繼續(xù)慢跑并變得健康的可能性就會更大。
    Students need to apply the same approach to listening skills. Encourage them to get a film, or listen to an English radio station, but not to watch an entire film or listen for two hours. Students should often listen, but they should listen for short periods - five to ten minutes. This should happen four or five times a week. Even if they don't understand anything, five to ten minutes is a minor investement. However, for this strategy to work, students must not expect improved understanding too quickly. The brain is capable of amazing things if given time, students must have the patience to wait for results. If a student continues this exercise over two to three months their listening comprehension skills will greatly improve.
    對于練習(xí)聽力，同學(xué)們也需采用同樣的方法。要鼓勵他們?nèi)タ磦€(gè)電影或者收聽英語廣播。但是，不要讓他們看一整部電影或者聽廣播聽上2個(gè)小時(shí)。他們需要常聽，但每次聽的時(shí)間不宜過長，以5到10分鐘為宜。每周聽4、5次。就算他們什么都聽不懂，5到10分鐘的時(shí)間也不會影響到他們什么。但是，這種方法若想奏效，決不能讓同學(xué)們急于求成。如果多給些時(shí)間，大腦是可以創(chuàng)造奇跡的。同學(xué)們一定要有耐心去等待。如果一個(gè)同學(xué)能堅(jiān)持這種訓(xùn)練方法2到3個(gè)月，那他的聽力肯定會有很大的提高。
