Traditional College-English teaching focuses on skills, rather than humanity. Thus, College-English teaching seeks quick success and instant benefits, and students cultivated in this way definitely lack communicative competence as well as international outlook, failing to meet the demand of comprehensive English talents in modern society.

Authors: Deng Xinyao ; Liu Lingling
Pages: 1-8
Abstract
In recent years, research on learning strategies has become the new domain in the area of the second language acquisition (SAL). In view of the above, the study based upon the definition and classification of O’Malley & Chamot and Oxford, discusses the condition of junior students’ listening strategies use and the impact on listening understanding. Through this research, we can see that the students with better listening score are better at self-supervising, training and listening techniques. I suggest that teachers should encourage and train the students to use the listening strategies to improve their ability. The final goal is encouraging students to self-evaluate and self-direct, and lay the foundation of life-long learning.
