Abstract
Listening is one of the four basic skills for English learners and listening teaching is also quite a challenge for teachers. It is completely agreed on that top-down processing and bottom-up processing are two main ways of listening teaching. Some scholars also claim that they should be used simultaneously. But many teachers ignore students’ actual level and even still adhere to some traditional modes, which brings an unsatisfactory effect into listening teaching and even distracts from the teaching purpose. Thus, pointing out the problems existing in current Huai’an junior high school English listening teaching, this paper aims at dealing with the bottom-up and top-down processing strategies in the listening teaching, and then discussing how to achieve appropriate application of the two strategies according to different levels of junior high school students.
