The results indicate that the autonomous listening ability for college students is at the medium level with a great individual difference and there＇s a vast space to be promoted. Moreover, there＇s no significant gender difference in autonomous listening ability for college students and there＇s significant positive correlation between autonomous listening ability and CET-4 Listening achievement, especially the dimension of Application of Strategies. Thus, a conclusion can be drawn that in English listening teaching, teachers should change their teaching model and strengthen the application of network teaching; in English listening learning, English learners should promote their ability of using strategies in English listening in order to improve their autonomous learning ability.展开更多
