Investigation on Japanese Listening Training Strategies and Exploration of Guidance Methods

Abstract

In the study of foreign language, we need to master four kinds of skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Among them, “reading” and “listening” belong to the skills of receiving language information, and “speaking” and “writing” belong to the skills of producing language information. Since Japanese also uses Chinese characters, it is more diffi cult for Japanese learners whose native language is Chinese to master listening and speaking skills than reading and writing skills. Especially in the process of listening,due to the lack of knowledge of the target language and the need to “grasp” and understand the content of language information at the moment of hearing, it is particularly diffi cult to develop listening skills. In this paper, the strategies adopted by Japanese majors in listening training are investigated, classifi ed and analyzed, and the guiding methods of listening skills training are explored.
