The schema construction of news English listening

Abstract
 
The schema theory is the reflection or the reconstruction of past experience. Listening comprehension, especially news listening, is very important in teaching English. It’s widely used in listening comprehension, and meanwhile is also one of the most difficult parts. According to the researchers’ finding, listener’s inherent schema in their mind is the key factor in deciding whether listening comprehension is succeed or not.
This thesis explores the application of schema theory in news listening, studied it in details to raise four types of English news listening schema: (1) The schema construction of news English; (2) The schema construction of news vocabulary; (3) The schema construction of news language sense; (4) The schema construction of news background. Meanwhile, we analyzed the effect of schema theory on news listening by case study. We find that learners are not very active in news listening, and the average listening comprehension capability of middle-school students is comparatively low. Using schema theory to solve this challenge in teaching news listening will help students form a systematical concept of schema theory; improve listening comprehension skills and build students’ self-confidence.
