Schema theory holds the view that listeners＇ background knowledge plays a key role in understanding a new text. Applying schema theory to teaching listening comprehension, the author introduces the ＂three-stage＂ teaching mode. Activating the existing schemata and building the related semantic map in the pre-listening stage, bettering the semantic map in while-listening stage, and practicing the newly-existed schemata in post-listening stage can make all the teaching procedures a whole, and make students feel much easier to understand the listening materials.展开更多

That might be part of the reason, and the author will discuss the application of information-processing model theory, schema theory in particular from the angle of cognitive psychology in listening comprehension course, hoping to remove barriers in the listening procedure to achieve better progress for students in listening ability.展开更多
