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.激发学习兴趣的意义
“兴趣是最好的老师”也是学习英语的必要条件，是学习的重要的积极因素。巩固学习英语的兴趣，提高学习质量的关键。语言毕竟是语言，它既不靠逻辑推理，又不需要公式推导，主要靠积累、靠语感、靠有兴趣的基础上。
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.正确认识英语听说能力的重要性
听、说言语交际活动，是人类认识和人类交际活动的基本形式之一。它是获取知识、认识客观事物、发展智力和情感的重要途径。据统计，人们在日常言语交际活动中有45%的时间用于听，30%的时间用于说。听、说最能生动、鲜明、完美地用来进行言语交际活动。
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
掌握听、说标志着掌握言语的声音物质外壳，这有助于提高生动的语感和促进掌握书面语。听、说还是吸收和巩固语言知识和培养听、说、读、写、译等言语能力的重要手段。生动的语言形象和口语快速反应的感染，能提高记忆词汇和语法规则的效果，提高言语交际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.
学习英语的目的是培养跨语言交际能力，一门语言的掌握体现在能熟练的与他人进行跨语种交流，交流双方既要说的清，又要听得懂和理解透对方的语义，这就需要交流者有较好的英语语言听说能力。英语作为世界上广泛运用的语言，是中国国际化进程中人才必须具备的能力，英语听说能力的培养尤为重要。
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.
多数人英语学习的大部分时间没有放在听说上，尤其是听的能力的提高方面。听说能力的提高不可能一蹴而就，立竿见影，听力理解是一个非常复杂的过程，它涉及到外语学习的很多方面并且长期以来听说一直是英语学习中一个难以攻克的难关。
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.如何有效实现英语听说能力的提问
从某种意义上说，获得英语语感是学习英语成功的标注。一个单词，一段句子往往都有重读、弱读、连续、失去爆破，根据句意还分意群、停顿等。平时在阅读中，多注意这些方面的问题，反复阅读，争取读出英语味道。其次，还可以多听外国人说话，包括他们的录音磁带，多读多听，形成语感。
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.
学习兴趣是推动学习的有效动力，是学习动机中最现实、最活跃的心理因素，如果能把学习英语视作是与不同文化交流对话的过程，就会发现其中很多的乐趣，它会引领你主动地去搜索，而这比死记硬背更有效，因此，提高学习英语的兴趣是至关重要的。
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.
整体脉络掌握后就可以精听，整段来听。听的遍数多了，就要开口说了。对照着文本，将跟读材料详细精听至少三遍，对照着文本，尝试以相同的节奏跟读听力材料，一开始可能会出现跟不上的情况，不断地跟读跟读跟读，理想情况下平均8遍之后可以跟上材料的语速。最后进行复述。复述并不是简单的将前面的已经跟读了的答案再重新背一遍，复述要做的时用自己的语言，将原文中的内容再表述一遍。口语要发音准，就一定要知道怎样正确的发音是准确的，自己才能正确的发音。也就是说，想要纠正自己的发音，就应该通过听读的方式去跟随和模仿正确的发音，并且在听读的过程中，将自己的发音录下来，与原文的发音进行对比，找出差别与不同，然后再模仿，直到自己感觉无法更接近原文的发音为止，在去跟读下一句。
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.
说的方面开口比较难，是最大的障碍。总担心自己不会说，说不好。不愿开口，害怕出错。另外，还有一些不愿用英语讲话，害怕发音不准而受到别人的嘲笑。这些心理障碍影响了学习的积极性，影响的正常交际活动和学习效果。
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.
听说能力不是一朝一夕就能培养出来的，积极培养学习兴趣，养成良好的学习英语的习惯，改变以往的“哑巴”英语的现状，才能达到提高英语听力能力、口头表达能力和交际能力的终极目标。
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.
