How to correctly understand the listening and speaking ability of English, how to effectively achieve it
With the development of modern times, English has become the most widely used language in the world, placing more importance on listening and spoken English. A correct understanding of English listening and speaking ability helps to improve the actual communication in English.
1.激發學習興趣的意義
“興趣是最好的老師”也是學習英語的必要條件，是學習的重要的積極因素。鞏固學習英語的興趣，提高學習質量的關鍵。語言畢竟是語言，它既不靠邏輯推理，又不需要公式推導，主要靠積累、靠語感、靠有興趣的基礎上。
1. Inspire the interest of learning
"Interest is the best teacher", which is also applied to English learning. Interest is necessary and an important positive factor for learning. To strengthen one’s interest in learning English is the key to improve the quality of learning. Language is only a language. It does not need logical reasoning or formula derivation. It mainly relies on one’s accumulation, the sense of language, and the interest in the language.
2.正確認識英語聽說能力的重要性
聽、說言語交際活動，是人類認識和人類交際活動的基本形式之一。它是獲取知識、認識客觀事物、發展智力和情感的重要途徑。據統計，人們在日常言語交際活動中有45%的時間用於聽，30%的時間用於說。聽、說最能生動、鮮明、完美地用來進行言語交際活動。
2. Understand the importance of English listening and speaking ability
Verbal communication by listening and speaking is one of the bases of human understanding and communication activities. It is an important way to acquire knowledge, understand objective things, and develop intelligence and emotions. According to statistics, people spend 45% of their time on listening and 30% on speaking in daily communication. Listening and speaking are the most vivid, efficient and perfect ways of communication activities
掌握聽、說標誌著掌握言語的聲音物質外殼，這有助於提高生動的語感和促進掌握書面語。聽、說還是吸收和鞏固語言知識和培養聽、說、讀、寫、譯等言語能力的重要手段。生動的語言形象和口語快速反應的感染，能提高記憶詞彙和語法規則的效果，提高言語交際能力的敏感性和敏捷性。
Mastering the listening and speaking marks the the understanding of a language, which helps to improve the sense of language and written language. Those two are also important means of absorbing and consolidating language knowledge and cultivating speech abilities such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. Vivid description and flexible response of oral language can improve the effects of memory vocabulary and grammatical rules, and the sensitivity and agility of the verbal communication skills.
學習英語的目的是培養跨語言交際能力，一門語言的掌握體現在能熟練的與他人進行跨語種交流，交流雙方既要說的清，又要聽得懂和理解透對方的語義，這就需要交流者有較好的英語語言聽說能力。英語作為世界上廣泛運用的語言，是中國國際化進程中人才必須具備的能力，英語聽說能力的培養尤為重要。
The purpose of learning English is to cultivate cross-language communication skills. The mastery of a language means the a command of cross-lingual communication with others. Meanwhile the two can not only express oneself clearly, but also understand each other thoroughly, which calls for good English listening and speaking skills. As a widely used language in the world, English is a must-have ability for talents in the process of internationalization in China. The cultivation of English listening and speaking ability is particularly important.
多數人英語學習的大部分時間沒有放在聽說上，尤其是聽的能力的提高方面。聽說能力的提高不可能一蹴而就，立竿見影，聽力理解是一個非常複雜的過程，它涉及到外語學習的很多方面並且長期以來聽說一直是英語學習中一個難以攻克的難關。
Most English learners do not spend much time in listening and speaking,especially the listening. Improvement of listening and speaking ability can not be achieved overnight. Listening comprehension is a complicated process involving a lot, and has always been a serious obstacle in English learning.
3.如何有效實現英語聽說能力的提問
從某種意義上說，獲得英語語感是學習英語成功的標註。一個單詞，一段句子往往都有重讀、弱讀、連續、失去爆破，根據句意還分意群、停頓等。平時在閱讀中，多注意這些方面的問題，反覆閱讀，爭取讀出英語味道。其次，還可以多聽外國人說話，包括他們的錄音磁帶，多讀多聽，形成語感。
3. How to effectively improve English listening and speaking ability
In a sense, obtaining language sense is a sign of the success in English learning. A word, a sentence often has accented, weakly read, continuous, lost blast, according to the meaning of the sentence also distracted, paused and so on. We should pay more attention to these aspects in daily reading, read repeatedly and try to understand the taste of English. Secondly, we should listen to foreigners more, including the audio tapes. Reading and listening more, thus we can catch a sense of language.
學習興趣是推動學習的有效動力，是學習動機中最現實、最活躍的心理因素，如果能把學習英語視作是與不同文化交流對話的過程，就會發現其中很多的樂趣，它會引領你主動地去搜索，而這比死記硬背更有效，因此，提高學習英語的興趣是至關重要的。
Interest is an effective motivation for learning and the most realistic and active psychological factor. If you treat English learning as a process of communication with different cultures, you can find a lot of fun. It will lead you to search and study actively, which is more effective than rote learning. That’s why it is crucial to improve one’s interest in learning English.
整體脈絡掌握後就可以精聽，整段來聽。聽的遍數多了，就要開口說了。對照著文本，將跟讀材料詳細精聽至少三遍，對照著文本，嘗試以相同的節奏跟讀聽力材料，一開始可能會出現跟不上的情況，不斷地跟讀跟讀跟讀，理想情況下平均8遍之後可以跟上材料的語速。最後進行復述。複述並不是簡單的將前面的已經跟讀了的答案再重新背一遍，複述要做的時用自己的語言，將原文中的內容再表述一遍。口語要發音準，就一定要知道怎樣正確的發音是準確的，自己才能正確的發音。也就是說，想要糾正自己的發音，就應該通過聽讀的方式去跟隨和模仿正確的發音，並且在聽讀的過程中，將自己的發音錄下來，與原文的發音進行對比，找出差別與不同，然後再模仿，直到自己感覺無法更接近原文的發音為止，在去跟讀下一句。
After an overall understanding of the context, you should listen in paragraphs. It is time to speak out after enough listening. The following-up materials should be listened to against the text at least three times in detail. Then you can try to read the listening materials at the same rhythm. In the beginning, there may be situations where you can't keep up. But you will make it by following repeatedly and constantly after 8 times in average. Furthermore, you should retell the contents in the end. Retelling is not just reciting the previous answers that have been read. You should use our own words to rephrase the contents of the original text. If you want to pronounce correctly, you must know what is the correct pronunciation. In other words, if you want to correct your pronunciation, you should follow and imitate the correct pronunciation by listening and reading. In the process of listening and reading, record your own pronunciation and compare it with the original text to find out the differences. Afterwards, imitate it until you feel that your pronunciation is similar enough to the original one, then to read and follow the next sentence.
說的方面開口比較難，是最大的障礙。總擔心自己不會說，說不好。不願開口，害怕出錯。另外，還有一些不願用英語講話，害怕發音不準而受到別人的嘲笑。這些心理障礙影響了學習的積極性，影響的正常交際活動和學習效果。
It is a bit difficult to speak out, which also is the most serious obstacle in language learning as we are worried that we may not know what to say and can’t speak it well. Thus we are not willing to speak out in fear of making mistakes. What’s worse, some would be worried to be teased if they can’t pronounce right. These psychological barriers affect the enthusiasm of learning, and impact the normal communication activities and learning effects.
聽說能力不是一朝一夕就能培養出來的，積極培養學習興趣，養成良好的學習英語的習慣，改變以往的“啞巴”英語的現狀，才能達到提高英語聽力能力、口頭表達能力和交際能力的終極目標。
Listening and speaking ability can not be achieved at one go. By cultivating learning interest actively, developing good habits of learning and throwing away "dumb" English, we will reach the ultimate aim of improving English listening, speaking and communication ability.
