Understanding Sub-Skills of Listening Comprehension : A Preliminary Study

听力理解是一项复杂的认知活动，本研究试图对听力理解中的子技能的本质有一个清晰的认识。本研究将音素辨别能力、语法性判断能力、语义性判断能力和部分听写能力作为听力理解的重要子技能，并探讨了它们与总体听力水平的关系。研究结果表明，语义判断能力和部分听写能力与听力水平的关系可能更密切，语义判断能力和部分听写能力与听力水平的关系可能包含非线性因素。

Research was conducted in an attempt to obtain a clear map of the nature of the sub-skills of listening comprehension, a complex cognitive activity. Four types of listening ability were viewed as important sub-skills of listening comprehension : phoneme discrimination ability, grammaticality judgment ability, semanticity judgment ability, and partial dictation ability, and their relationships with general listening proficiency were investigated. The results show, for example, that semanticity judgment ability and partial dictation ability may be more related to general listening proficiency, and that relationships between semanticity judgment ability and partial dictation ability and general listening proficiency may include non-linear elements.
