The schema construction of news English listening
Abstract
The schema theory is the reflection or the reconstruction of past experience. Listening comprehension, especially news listening, is very important in teaching English. It’s widely used in listening comprehension, and meanwhile is also one of the most difficult parts. According to the researchers’ finding, listener’s inherent schema in their mind is the key factor in deciding whether listening comprehension is succeed or not.
This thesis explores the application of schema theory in news listening, studied it in details to raise four types of English news listening schema: (1) The schema construction of news English; (2) The schema construction of news vocabulary; (3) The schema construction of news language sense; (4) The schema construction of news background. Meanwhile, we analyzed the effect of schema theory on news listening by case study. We find that learners are not very active in news listening, and the average listening comprehension capability of middle-school students is comparatively low. Using schema theory to solve this challenge in teaching news listening will help students form a systematical concept of schema theory; improve listening comprehension skills and build students’ self-confidence.

摘 要
圖式理論是對過去經驗的反映對過去經驗的組織。在英語教學中英語聽力是個非常重要的內容，而新聞英語聽力又猶為重要，它的運用相當廣泛，同時也是聽力教學中的難點。研究發現聽者頭腦中的固有圖式是決定聽力理解成功與否的關鍵內容。本文探討了圖式理論在新聞英語聽力教學中的.運用，通過對圖式理論的詳細分析提出了4種新聞英語圖式，即結構圖式、詞彙圖式、語感圖式、背景圖式以及把圖式理論運用在教學實踐中的例項來分析圖式理論在新聞英語聽力教學中的作用，發現了在新聞英語聽力學習中學生的積極性不高，普遍的聽力水平差，運用圖式理論解決新聞英語聽力教學這1難題，可以讓學生建立1個系統的圖式觀念，提高聽力能力，從而也增強了學生的自信心。
