- Abstract
Listening comprehension has long been the most challenging part of the English learning process between input and output. Therefore, listening in language learning has always been a tricky part of teaching. Based on this current situation, how to improve the English listening ability of second language learners has gradually become the focus of research on English teaching and reform. Based on the working memory theory proposed by Baddeley, many scholars in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and second language acquisition have put forward some related discussions on the influence of working memory ability on second language learners’ listening literacy in recent years. From the cognitive perspective, this paper focuses on the current situation of second language learners’ listening literacy, the features of working memory and listening comprehension, the relationship between working memory and listening comprehension, and at the same time, puts forwards some ways to improve second language learners’ listening literacy. Moreover, the quality of working memory directly affects the listening literacy of second language learners. Therefore, the relationship between memory and listening comprehension should be given more consideration with the widespread use of English. Working memory theory in listening comprehension, according to many academics, has particular practical significance for teaching English listening comprehension in China.
