People must do many things to process information that they are receiving. First they have to hear what is being said, then they have to pay atte

We also know that if we do not have enough previous knowledge of what is being said, it is more difficult to

(2) The activity must use authentic language without significantly slower or simpler speech than would normally be used in everyday life. (3) The listening text must offer content that
24、 is personally interesting and motivating to learners. (4) The listening activity must offer many clues to meaning, just as in real-life listening. (5) When possible, the whole listening text should be given first, and then it should be divided into parts that can be repeated. At the end, the whole
25、text should be given again, and learners should have the opportunity to discuss what they have heard. (6) The listening activity must require listeners to respond in some meaningful fashion, either individually or in small groups or pairs . (7) The text of the listening activity must be typical for
26、its own speech type; that is, an informal conversation must have short, redundant, rapid chunks of speech, while a lecture must be more formalized and orderly. (8) The classroom climate surrounding the listening activity must be non-threatening and positive, and simple affective strategies should be

Dickinson and Carver (1980, cf. Ellis and Sinclair, 1989:7) identify three areas for pr
49、eparing learners to become autonomous and these three areas can be used for considering contents and procedures for learner training. They are: Psychological preparation, e.g. activities to build confidence Methodological preparation, e.g. activities to help learners understand and use metalanguage (language for describing language and language learning) and to become aware of the rationale behind classroom activities. Practice in self-direction, e.g. activities which provide learners with opportunities to make choices about their learning.,
