Features: "Listening Master" and "Speaking Master" are the ultimate solutions for learning English listening and speaking, and they will join us in witnessing the end of the "deaf-mute English" era. "Listening Master" is a comprehensive listening guide that deeply analyzes the factors affecting listening, listening materials, and listening practice methods. It also proposes targeted listening solutions for English learners of different levels and learning needs. Whether you are a true listening blind or a practice listener who understands only vaguely, "Listening Master" can gradually improve your listening ability until you become a master who listens without obstacles. Through the analysis of learner types and the integration of learning materials and listening practice methods, "Listening Master" is divided into eight listening training modules, gradually achieving the goals of elementary, intermediate, and advanced listening. Like speaking practice, listening practice is a step-by-step process that requires continuous practice and the combination of listening and speaking to break through the listening barrier and realize the dream of becoming a listening master. Additionally, "Listening Master" believes that listening is one form of language input and the output of sound. The input process is the process of strengthening the correspondence between sound and information. Not understanding is simply a sign that the correspondence between sound and information is disconnected or not close enough. Therefore, during listening practice, do not try to understand a sentence by repeating it ten or a hundred times. Such practice is not only meaningless in reality but also a waste of time. Most importantly, it is essential to recognize that "what you don’t understand, you will never understand through listening." For an English practice listener, the greatest pain is understanding written content but not being able to understand spoken content. The core of "Listening Master’s" listening practice is to understand what can be understood in writing, because the vocabulary and syntax that cannot be understood are not the problem of listening itself. Therefore, as an English practice listener, what needs to be done is to continuously strengthen the bidirectional correspondence between sound and written information, rather than discovering this correspondence through one-way listening.
