LU Guo-jun · Media in Foreign Language Instruction · 2004
Discovery listening is an approach aimed at improving listeners' perceptual processing by encouraging them to reconstruct what they have heard by means of dictogloss proposed by Wajnryb (1990) , discover their own perceptual problems in listening and analyze the sources of these problems. This paper reports on the application of this approach and presents the relevant results, which can shed some light on the effectiveness of this approach for intermediate and elementary listeners, whose insufficient perceptual processing a-bility greatly hampers their use of higher-order processing skills.
