14、ng a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didnt know much about how listening works. New research shows that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, its an
15、active process of analysing information and making meaning. Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to excellent comprehension. In addition to that benefit, research has shown that learners who adopt these strategies become better listeners. So wh
16、at are listening strategies Skilled learners go into a listening activity with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they make predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they review what they already know about the subject,
17、and form an intention to “listen out for”whats important. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They dont allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note
18、of what they dont understand and later make inferences(推测 )about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the identity of the speaker, and so on. All the while, skilled learners are evaluating what theyre hearing and their own und
19、erstanding of it. Theyre checking their inferences to see if theyre correct. Such strategies are all about thinking, and they produce a variety of benefits. Research indicates that such learners are better at analysing and storing new information, better at finding the best ways to practice what the
20、y have learned. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a traditional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half
21、, dealing with the same skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given clear instruction on how to listen. In the journal Language Learning, Vandergrift reported the results: The second group “significantly outperformed(胜过 )” the first one on a test of comprehension. In a 2006 study by resea
22、rchers from Singapore, Chinese speakers who were learning English as a second language reported increased motivation and confidence after they were taught metacognitive strategies.
