Methods of practicing English listening in four steps

With four steps of listening, you will grasp your weaknesses to have an English improvement base, gradually increasing your ability to communicate.
Teacher Quang Nguyen introduced an effective listening method for English learners.

Before implementing this method, you should choose the appropriate listening material for yourself. In other words, the listening should not be too fast, too many difficult words and the topic is too complicated.

When you have the right material, you can start training by listening method according to the following four steps.

English Listening Practice With Video
First, turn on the tape (or video), listen to the entire tape or the talk. When listening, you just need to focus on clarifying the questions: what the topic is about, how many main ideas and sub-ideas, for example ...

After English Listening With Video Note, you do not stop and listen to each sentence in this step. Let the tape run from beginning to end and try to capture the most core ideas of the song. If you hear about 10-20 times and still don't get the main idea, it means that the listening is too much for you, so choosing the song is easier.

After listening and understanding the main idea of ​​the lesson, you move on to the second step: "note-taking". Prepare a piece of paper and a pen, turn on the tape again and "note" what you understand. Note, like step one, you do not stop the tape and listen to each sentence, but turn from beginning to end and "take note".

In step one, you have already understood the basic content of the lesson, so taking note is primarily intended to re-systemize the content of the speech. Because the speed of speaking is always faster than writing speed, you just "take note" of the most basic content, not to record everything you hear. To make it easier to understand, imagine the boss assigning the task, you have a paper and a pen, write down the task - don't write down the boss's words.

You can hear two to three times to "take note" of the full content and move on to the third step, copy the spelling. The purpose of copying spelling is to check your vocabulary, grammar and ability to hear details.

The purpose of spelling to practice Vocabulary
When copying spelling, simply stop after each paragraph, or sentence, and try to record exactly what the speaker mentioned in the article. Watch each tail "s" or "ed" of the word, try to make it as perfect as possible. A lot of places, you may feel that the word is not a word, ignore it and continue until it is completely rewritten.

Copying spelling will help you recognize your pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary ... errors. My personal experience is that most weak grammar students will reveal many errors in this section, for example, confused "a", "the", "in", "on" or lack of "es", " ed ". The weak English pronunciations will have difficulty grasping the "keyword" - the important word in the speech. Those who listen well, pronounce well and make sure grammar catches the whole.

English Listening And Testing
The final step is to listen and check again. You need to have the "transcript" of the talk to complete this final listening step. Read the "transcript" of the talk, and compare it with your "dictation" to know why you heard wrong or inaudible. This is very important for you to realize your weaknesses when listening: due to lack of vocabulary, poor pronunciation, or poor grammar? Once you know your weaknesses, you have a learning base to improve your English.

After that, you can turn on the song again and again, and practice listening everyday. The more you listen, the more you can improve your listening comprehension, and communicate in English.
