English listening methods

Listening is often used as an examination question, the purpose of which is to examine candidates' mastery of English language and their understanding of daily English communication. There are usually several forms: listen to the dialogue and choose the answer, and listen to the sentences and write down the key words. Let's summarize the learning skills of English listening. Welcome to read the collection.

Memory method of IELTS listening vocabulary

First of all, there are many accents.

The IELTS listening test is about listening ability, so mastering pronunciation is the first. The accents in the listening test are mainly English, American, British and Australian, and the same word will have different pronunciations in different regions and countries. Candidates should pay attention to various pronunciation methods and some common pronunciation differences in phonetic symbols when accumulating IELTS listening vocabulary. It should be noted that accent can not be mastered by memorizing a few rules, and it is impossible to consider pronunciation rules when doing exams, so learning and using them flexibly is the right way.

Candidates can usually watch or listen to some mixed pronunciation programs or film and television works, paying special attention to British pronunciation. In addition to accent, pay more attention to pronunciation when reciting words, which can accumulate pronunciation habits. You can try to spell unfamiliar words according to pronunciation rules during the exam.

Second, the scene vocabulary

All parts of the IELTS listening test are centered on a scene, and common things such as renting a house, traveling, choosing courses and giving lectures appear repeatedly in the test. When candidates accumulate IELTS listening vocabulary, they can focus on the scene and effectively connect the words to form a system. Doing so can not only remember the words, but also review the test sites of the scene and expand your imagination of the scene, which can kill two birds with one stone.

Third, synonymous transformation.

Synonymy conversion is a major feature of IELTS listening test for studying abroad, and there are often differences between what you hear and what you see. Synonymy conversion is not a simple synonymous vocabulary conversion, but also includes the change of different parts of speech of the same word, the change of the upper and lower meanings of similar things, or the antonym expression of words. Therefore, it is necessary to accumulate synonyms, antonyms and word part-of-speech changes in order to do synonymous transformation well. These IELTS listening vocabulary can be accumulated not only in practice but also in reading and writing.

Fourth, the memory method.

There are many ways to remember IELTS listening vocabulary, such as homophonic method, association method, root affixation method and so on. Candidates can use these different methods together. In the process of memory, try to visualize words and let them form a concept in your mind, which is also a process of trying to think in English. This can avoid the need to convert words into Chinese before you can think of spelling words in the exam.

The word accumulation project is huge and needs long-term persistence. While accumulating new words, we should also review the words we have mastered from time to time to avoid forgetting them. In addition, intensive listening practice is also helpful to better grasp the usage and pronunciation changes of words.

The above four methods are the memory methods of IELTS listening vocabulary. It can be seen that after mastering the characteristics of IELTS listening vocabulary, it is still necessary to keep memorizing vocabulary in order to achieve the real memory effect.
