1。 Introduction 

As one of the four basic language skills students are bound to master when learning a foreign language and an important means of communication in people’s daily life, listening comprehension skill has always been the focus of foreign language teaching。 However, nowadays high school students are weak in listening。 Their listening competence is lower than the competence of reading and writing。 At present, there are still a lot of problems with high school English listening teaching。 For example, students and teachers pay little attention to listening, so listening teaching is far from efficient。 

Many experts and scholars home and abroad have achieved some success in listening teaching。 O’Malley and Chamot pointed out that listening cognition strategy is prediction, reasoning, taking notes and the use of background knowledge。 (O’Malley and Chamot 109)The aim is to meet the purpose of the training。 However, their conclusions were not consistent。 The studies on listening teaching still need improving。 For students’ difficulty in listening comprehension, the writer of this thesis thinks one of the important reasons is the lack of adequate knowledge of discourse cohesion and coherence, thus put forward the research question of this paper: how to apply the knowledge of discourse cohesion and coherence theory to high school English listening teaching。 This paper discusses the motif mainly from two aspects: cohesion theory and coherence theory。 论文网 利用语篇衔接与连贯理论促进高中英语听力教学:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_86045.html
