1. Methods for improving English listening in seventh grade

1. Learn to grasp key words

During the listening process, we must learn to grasp the key words. During the pause time between segments, quickly browse the options and compare the differences. During the listening process, you can use keywords to determine the speaker's identity to help you search for relevant background knowledge.

2. Learn to divide meaning groups

Many people listen word by word when listening, trying to understand every word. In fact, it is not necessary to do this, and it is also very difficult to do. Therefore, we must learn to listen by dividing meaning groups into word groups and word chunks, which will help you save a lot of time and allow you to understand the meaning of the sentence faster.

3. Learn to think ahead

Before listening begins, you must browse the materials and start thinking based on the options. What is this passage about and what is its purpose. And learn to guess, including predictions of topics and even answers through common sense. Only in this way can you be in a proactive position during the exam, so you must be proactive in listening.

4. Learn to take notes

Good notes can make your thinking clear and allow you to understand the structure of the listening content. At the beginning and end of listening, you need to concentrate and remember the relevant information, because that is likely to be the focus of listening. Sometimes the test points are presented in order when the questions are asked, so notes can help us eliminate some distracting options.

5. Learn to pay attention to numbers

Pay attention to the following aspects: continuous reading of regular numbers, percentages, fractions, decimals, percentages, phone numbers, flight numbers, driver's license numbers, credit card numbers etc.

2. How to improve English listening in the first grade of junior high school

The first step: pass the word level. It is necessary to correct the previous mistakes and impure pronunciation. It’s not just about knowing the spelling of words, but also connecting the pronunciation and meaning of words. We should not practice listening in order to improve listening, as this will not have much effect. In fact, the improvement of listening represents the improvement of comprehensive English ability, that is, the improvement of pronunciation, vocabulary, phrases, idioms and other aspects. Therefore, practicing listening should start with practicing listening to words and vocabulary. This seems to be a relatively large project, but it is a prerequisite for improving English listening skills.

The second level: pass the sentence pattern level. That is, practice understanding a sentence completely. I found that many people can understand a single word, but they have difficulty listening to a sentence, and it is even harder to listen to an entire article. This is mainly because there is no or less listening to sentence patterns. Therefore, it is necessary to practice special sentence patterns. If you listen to many sentence patterns, you will naturally know what the article says without thinking too much. As long as you pass the word level, you can easily pass this level with a little effort. How to practice sentence patterns? There is a method you can try: read aloud. You can read to the announcer while looking at the transcript. And record your own voice and correct the pronunciation. Don't be shy, speak up.

The third level: comprehensive training. After passing the sentence pattern test, you can listen to articles, watch movies, or listen to the news, and practice a few more times to pass the test naturally.

Analyzing from a psychological perspective, the vocabulary, phrases, and pronunciation are not yet proficient, which means that they are not up to the level. The vocabulary, phrases, and pronunciation are not fully understood, so this situation will also occur when watching movies. The most basic things have not been passed, and you have to deliberately reach the level of listening to the news and watching movies, which actually leads to a lack of concentration. We are generally easily distracted by things that we are not very proficient in. In fact, the first key to improving listening is pronunciation. Not paying attention to pronunciation when learning English is a stumbling block for many students who never improve in English. Learning pronunciation is about standards. There are roughly two types of vocabulary and idiom problems in listening: true incomprehension and false incomprehension. The so-called "really don't understand" refers to encountering new words and idioms that you have never heard before, of course you will not understand them. False incomprehension refers to words that have been learned but still cannot be understood. This has something to do with pronunciation. Most people memorize words without looking carefully at the pronunciation, but just look at the meaning and spelling. In this way, there will be no problems when reading, but there will be problems when practicing listening.

2. Do more listening questions. Before doing the questions, you must quickly browse the questions and options to understand the general content of the text so that you can focus when listening. The process of doing the questions is conducive to cultivating our good habit of concentrating. It also helps to improve the speed of our problem solving.

3. Learn to predict. Prediction is to predict the content of the passage or conversation to be heard based on various hints, such as given answer options, paragraph or conversation titles, etc. before doing listening comprehension.

4. In addition to this In addition, we must also lay solid basic skills in daily life, which is to enrich our vocabulary, as well as the usage of each word and word combination, and the meaning of English phrases. These basic skills will help us better understand the content of listening.

5. For short conversations, capture key words from the second speaker’s answer according to the type of question, and focus your listening range on these key words.

6. For short articles and dialogues that are a bit long, read through all the questions quickly first, and listen carefully to the full text the first time to understand what the article is about. Only make notes after the second time. Check and check.
