摘要

本文探討大學生瞭解與使用英文口語十大基本特徵—韻律、縮減、同化、刪除、合併、連音，縮式、重音、發音與語調—改進英語聽力之問題。為解學生經練習後聽力是否有所增進，作者設計了前試及後試之兩次測驗，從測驗結果來探討聽力學習之成效及改進之道。

This paper explores how EFL students improve their listening comprehension through an understanding and use of the 10 essential characteristics of spoken English: rhythm, reduction, assimilation, deletion, coalescence liaison, abbreviation, pronunciation, accent and Intonation. Pro-activity and post-activity exams were administered to investigate improvements in listening comprehension following exercises such as teacher Instruction and guided practice. The analysis of these exam results points to positive improvements in student listening ability, and provides a basis for recommendations on improved instruction.
