Abstract

Listening is one of the most important language skills and recently it has received more and more attention. However, of all the basic language skills, college students still find that listening skill is the most difficult to acquire. And this obstacle greatly affects students’ interest and success of English learning. Therefore a great many teachers and researchers have put forward various methods to improve learners’ listening comprehension, but chunking method is rarely applied in the teaching of listening comprehension. In view of this situation, the present paper poses the research question—whether chunking approach can improve college English learners’ listening comprehension and tries to answer the question with a teaching experiment. It turns out that chunking approach is beneficial to improving students’ listening comprehension.
