ABSTRACT
Listening is a crucial part of language proficiency, while auditory lexicon determines listening ability to a great extent. It is widely acknowledged that Chinese English learners are quite weak in listening due to a lack of effective auditory lexicon. Thus, this paper aims to explore the methods of building Chinese English learners’ auditory lexicon.
After analyzing some of the problems existing in English listening among students in China, I find that one of the most important factors that affect English listening is the learner’s auditory lexicon. I will refer to the findings of some related studies and work out the methods of building Chinese English learners’ auditory lexicon from the aspects of pragmatics and mental lexicon.
The methods of building Chinese English learners’ auditory lexicon is listed as follows: cultivating the ability of phonological information processing; adopting phonics in vocabulary teaching; boosting the transformation of visual lexicon into auditory lexicon and increasing the input and output of English under the channel of speech sound
Key words: Pragmatics; Mental lexicon; English listening; Auditory lexicon
