嗨！大家好 ， 今天我們要來聊如何提升英文聽力

to 不定詞

Today we're gonna talk about how to improve English listening proficiency.

聽力應該是四個語言能力中最難提升的

形容詞最高級

Listening might be the most difficult skill to learn out of the four language skills.

And teachers don't really "teach" how to listen because listening is considered like a passive

因為「聽」感覺是一個比較被動的能力

好的語言學習者，會善於使用自己「後設認知」能力

Good language learners are the ones who are better at using their metacognitive skills

所以什麼是「後設認知」⋯⋯BLAAA

So what are the metacognitive skills......

所以什麼是「後設認知」能力？

It includes planning, monitoring and evaluating, so on and so forth

換句話說，「後設認知」的能力就是利用自己已有的知識，去學習自己未知的部分

In other words, metacognitive skills is the ability to use the things that you already

所以今天要和大家分享一些實用的「後設認知」能力

know to learn something that you don't know

可以在聽力測驗或是和別人對話的過程中用上

So today I'm going to share some really practical and useful metacognitive skills that you can

基本上就是利用一些策略，來提升你的英語聽力

apply when you are doing your listening comprehension test or when you are talking to other people

Basically improving your listening ability through some strategies

So without further ado, let's get into the video

When you're listening to a speech or conversation, there are many reasons why you can't understand

maybe it's because of a local accent or maybe an unknown vocabulary or just the noisy background

When this happens, you should use the information that you already know and make a guess quickly

當這些情況發生時，你應該用你知道的資訊

First, you can guess the speech of the word

If it is a noun, it is likely to be a person, place or object

Second, you can guess according to the context

Where does the conversation or speech take place?

So these are all the clues that you can use to make a rapid guess

Strategy number 2, to anticipate when you're talking to someone or when you're

listening to a speech, you might anticipate what is going to come up

這個演講或對話在哪裡發生的？

For example, I live in Montreal right now and people talk about the weather constantly

這些都是在快速做出猜測時可以用的線索

so when I meet someone, I am somehow prepared to talk about the snow or how it ruined my

nice boots and at the same time, I would also expect

that the other person would talk about the fact that it is -15 degrees outside right

我某種程度上已經準備好要討論雪了

Anticipating can help the listener to be prepared and also have more time to organize

In fact, it is impossible for the listener to hear every single word in the sentence

So it is more important to know what is important and more relevant

So you should think yo yourself: what is the conversation or speech mainly about.

For example, when you're listening to the new, try to understand where the incident

happened, when did it happen and how did it happen.

So when you are focusing on these questions, you are more likely to capture the important

Second, listen to the first sentence and transitional words in the speech

事實上，要聽出句子裡的每個字是不太可能的

We all know that the first sentence of the paragraph is the topic sentence.

And the topic sentence shows the central idea of the whole paragraph.

Also, the transitional words show the thinking of the speaker.

Following these targets can help the students focus on the main point of the talk instead

of peripheral details that are distracting.

In the end, I just wanna say that listening training is not about understanding every

這個對話或演講主要在講什麼？

Listening is not that passive as you think.

嘗試理解這個事件在「哪裡」發生

According to research, if the learners' metacognitive awareness increases, not just listening comprehension,

So metacognitive awareness or strategies are all really important and should be emphasized

你比較有可能在演講中抓到重點

Besides developing your language, the learner should also learn to guess, to anticipate

第二，聽第一個句子還有轉折字

我們都知道一個段落的第一句話是主題句

主題句展現整個段落的中心思想

So these are the three metacognitive strategies that I wanna share with you guys today and

跟隨這些線索可以幫助學生專注於說話內容的重點

I hope you've enjoyed all my videos on second language acquisition research.

And if you're interested.....awwww she's so warmmmmm

聽力訓練不是要理解句子裡的每一個字

Anyways, if you're interested, of course everything will be linked in the description box below.

聽力並不是你想像中的那麼被動

It's great making these videos and I'm really happy that I'm learning about this right now

如果學習者意識到「後設認知」的能力

Ok, that's about it for this time and I'll see you guys soon!

所以「後設認知」的意識與能力都非常重要
