29、me problems. now i will finish my courses help yourself to advance english as a distance learner. i hope i can solve the problems that have troubled me for a long time so that i can apply my knowledge and theory into practice, which i learned from the courses.2. summary of the preliminary research 2

30、.1 problem identification the problem i have in my teaching is that most of my students do not like doing practice of listening. 2.2 problem analysisin my teaching the problem identified was really a serious problem, for it had a great effect on improvement of students listening. my preliminary rese

31、arch confirmed that there were three main reasons that accounted for students reluctance to do listening practice: firstly, some students did not feel interested in listening practice. they thought it was boring to listen to the tape. secondly, some students could not follow the teacher or the recor

32、der. they felt both of them went too fast. thirdly, most students did not have enough time to practice listening by themselves after class. they had to spend hours on homework every day.the problem had been troubling me for some time and now i was determined to find a solution to the problem. in my

33、study, i used four methods of analysis.2.2.1 analytic methodthrough careful analysis, i was led to a series of questions. for instance, i found a majority of my students did not like doing this assignment, and i wanted to know why it should be the case, and whether they thought it important and nece

34、ssary to practice listening or not. if they did think so, the problem was actually caused by myself, not by my students. probably the listening work i assigned my students to do was poorly designed. 2.2.2 cause analysisin this situation, i asked myself a series of questions and tried to provide some

35、 answers for them.why did most of my students not like doing practice of listening? in order to know more about this issue, i designed a cause exploration procedure like this: questionsanswersis it because the listening tasks are poorly designed?maybeis it because my instructions are not clear enoug

36、h?maybeis it because the teacher speaks too fast ?possibly yesis it because they do not like listening work ?maybeis it because they are not motivated ?possibly yesis it because they do not think listening practice is important and necessary ?maybeis it because they have lots of other things to do ?

37、yesis it because they have some difficultiesunsolved by themselves ?yes 2.2.3. questionnaire surveyi made a pilot investigation in this respect to learn more about the situation. for this purpose, i designed a research procedure like this. one day, i gave the students two tasks revise the words and

38、the text of lesson 82 whose title is “the moonlight sonata ”.the next day, i got the feedback by dictation:about 60% of the students wrote out the words correctly.less than 20% of them filled in the blanks for the text right.the rest students could do neither of the tasks.then i asked them two quest

39、ions. one was why some students did well. the students responses were: first, those who had written out the new words correctly said they had revised them carefully because learning words by heart was the most important thing in their english studies.second, those who had filled out the blanks for t

40、he text correctly said there were some useful sentence patterns in it. if they did not revise them in time, they would forget.the other question was why most students could not do the exercises. the students reasons were: first, some of the students said they had gone over both the words and the tex

41、t but they were not able to keep them in mind for long.second, some of them said they could not follow the tape or the teacher though they had memorized the words and the text. they thought the tape and the teacher went so fast that they often fell behind them.third, some of the students said they p

42、referred to read the text alone rather than listen to them and even write them down at the same time. when a dialogue was taught, the teacher used to check up students revision work by asking them to read in pairs or groups, not by dictation. thus, they spent more time in reading than in listening.s

43、ince most of my students did not do the listening practice, i designed a questionnaire (see appendix b1) to find out why it should be so. i wanted to get more detailed, more exact opinions from all the students through the questionnaire. and i tried to make it as scientific and effective as possible

44、. at first, i asked four students who were of different levels to try out the questionnaire. then i modified some of the items. after that, i gave the questionnaire to my students, requiring them to finish it in 1015 minutes. all of them, sixty-seven students, returned their questionnaires which wer

45、e left anonymous. when all the data came in, i made some statistical evaluation. the result showed that over 80% of the students thought regularly practicing listening to english could improve their english listening ability and that 65% of them thought listening practice was very necessary for thei

46、r future. therefore, i believed the students were clear about the importance and necessity of listening practice. but they might run up against difficulties that they could not overcome lack of enough time, lack of listening skills and lack of spare time, so they lost confidence and interest. 2.2.4

47、brainstorming when i was engaged in the problem analysis, i consulted my thesis supervisor mr. he and often discussed this problem with my students and my colleagues. they gave me a lot of advice and help so that i pondered the problem more deeply and carefully.after a lengthy problem analysis, i de

48、termined to launch a project to overcome this problem.2.3 project objective my project objective is to enhance students interest in listening practice. 2.4 project hypothesis it is hypothesized that learners interest in listening practice is increased by better design.2.5 possible solutions with the

49、se reasons in mind, i have correspondingly provided some possible solutions which are as follows.2.5.1 provide more activities for students a. read after tapesb. write at the teachers dictation c. perform dialogues d. ask and answer 2.5.2 teach students some skills of listening a. listen for gistb.

50、listen for specific informationc. listen for detailed informationd. listen for inferring e. listen for note-taking3. full-scaled implementation of the solutions3.1 provide more activities for students most students showed little interest in listening practice. one main reason was that they had exper

51、ienced too much failure in this respect, which was caused by insufficient practice. in their studies, students read english more but listened to english less; they listened to the teachers explanations in chinese much more than to the tapes. even though when listening practice was being done, the st

52、udents were often asked to write down words and phrases or only to judge whether the given statements were true or not. the simple practice made the students feel easy to do such work and then paid little attention to the practice. therefore, once the teacher required them to do a bit more difficult

53、 tasks, they seemed to be considerably worried. if they were not given necessary help at that moment, they would definitely lose heart to do listening practice. to enhance their interest, the first thing was to design more activities for the students so that their listening ability could be strength

54、ened.3.1.1 read after the tape it is very important for students to read english after the recorder quite often. thus, they can gradually get accustomed to pronunciation and intonation of the queens english. at first, with the textbooks open, the students were asked to follow the tape word by word,

55、then sentence by sentence. then they were allowed to repeat after the tape with books closed. at last, such drills varied from the whole class to individuals, ensuring that the weak students learned to pronounce the words correctly as well.3.1.2 write at the teachers dictation after reading, the stu

56、dents should have a dictation to practice writing. for words, the teacher could offer some help, like spelling out the long ones, if necessary. for sentences, the teacher first asked them to fill in blanks in worksheets prepared for students in advance, then got them to write out complete sentences including punctuation marks. sometimes, some students could be called to do dictation practice on the blackboard and other students to correct their mistakes. 3.1.3 perform dialogues the performance in class is quit
