Language is the means by which people communicate with each other. At present, the teaching of listening is considered one of the most important teaching courses. Listening greatly affects communicative ability. For this reason, it is necessary for students to break through obstacles to the listening to improve their abilities. In recent years, theories have been put forward in the teaching of listening. The focus of attention has shifted from the teachers, who have tended to be the center of the class to the students.
