Abstract

This thesis paper aims to explore several approaches adopted in college English listening instruction in independent colleges in order to adapt to the reform of listening comprehension in CET (College English test)-4. As is known to all, listening is one of the most difficult skills when it comes to learning English for students and also one of the most important parts when it comes to college English instruction. Therefore, this thesis tries to analyze the reform of CET-4 starting from June 2016, the students’ listening ability and the current listening instruction in independent colleges. Also, based on problems students face while listening, the author puts forward some teaching strategies including improving students’ basic knowledge of English, selecting suitable listening materials, varying teaching methods in class, helping students acquire listening skills and help students to give up wrong belief, with an aim to improve students’ listening ability and have a better performance in CET-4.
