Abstract: Among listening, speaking, reading, and writing these four skills, listening is one of the most important factors. Strategy training in the listening classroom has been proved by many studies as an essential and effective way of improving listening proficiency. The essence of strategy training is to help the students with “self-examination”. They will be able to find the reasons of listening difficulties and the problems existing in their methods, and also select and adopt relative measures, and then carry out self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and self-adjusting timely. This paper focuses on the discussion of the effective strategy training mode that can improve the students’ listening proficiency through English listening strategy training to the students in my practice school.
