摘要: 听说读写是语言技能学习的基本，是语言运用能力的关键，也是高中英语学习的方向与目标。其中，“听”是交际活动顺利展开的前提与保障，“听”在日常交际中所占比重最高，所以听力教学的重要性也更加突出。为探求高中英语听力教与学现状。

本研究以西航一中高中英语为例，通过调查问卷和访谈的方式，试图分析现在高中英语听力教学中所存在的问题，如学生理想的学习方法与实际的学习方法有差距，教师对听力的重要性缺乏正确认识，探析在教学过程中出现忽视听力技能与学习策略的传授等问题的原因，并指出相应的改善措施，如引导听力教学方法与其它技能的结合，丰富教学手段，提高英语教学的认识。通过本研究对高中英语听力教学有所帮助，激发学生英语兴趣，使高中英语听力教学方法更加完善。
