Introduction

Nowadays, English is becoming more and more important after China entered the WTO, which can encourage us to study English well. To study a foreign language, we should master four abilities: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Generally speaking, communication is the main aim of learning a foreign language, and we know that most students have less difficulty in reading and writing. From this point, we should pay more attention to listening and speaking. In fact, in China, a lot of students spend a great number of time in learning English, but they still feel that they can not understand well what they have heard and can not speak fluently. This is partially because of our examination system, and partially of teaching method. As we know, as long as the students get a high mark and they can enter into a good school. So we just focus on the grammar. In the past several years, the government realized the seriousness of Examination - oriented education and did a lot to change the situation. The teaching outline has been informed. In the text books, there are a lot of activities involving listening and speaking, including pair work and group work. In the examination the part of listening comprehension has been added, and it is more difficult. At home and abroad, there are many experts studying the methods of teaching, and the main method is Functional method, which has been used almost all over the world. Here I would like to introduce some useful methods to help students to improve their listening and speaking and raise their interest.

In middle school, most students have great difficulties in listening because they can not pronounce correctly and have no good methods to practice listening and they lack relevant knowledge about the foreign countries#39; cultures.

In fact, listening comprehension is an essential part of communication and basic to second language learning. In any standard foreign language test, listening comprehension usually occupies a considerable proportion. Yet, to the students who learn English in situations where English is not the language of the country and where opportunities for hearing English outside the classroom are few, it is usually extremely difficult for them to comprehend English spoken to them. Many students, usually influenced by some traditional habits, are accustomed to putting what they are hearing into their native language in order to get the original meaning. As a result, when trying to understand one sentence, and then they will miss the next one. So when a conversation or a passage is over, they almost know nothing and are totally at a loss what to do about the exercises they are required to do. In order to develop their listening skills, some teachers just give them plenty of graded practice and hope that they will work out for themselves the most efficient way of coping with it. Unfortunately, it only proves to be a time-consuming but inefficient way and they can hardly arrive at the most satisfactory solution of their own accord. When they repeatedly meet with setbacks, they come to the conclusion that listening comprehension is only the eagle#39;s nest and it is an impassable chasm. Some even lose their confidence. Actually, the improvement of listening comprehension can be gained by good methods.
