Abstract

Listening comprehension is an important part in English teaching, and it is also an important research theme in second language acquisition (SLA). Through the application of psycholinguistic research results, this paper attempts to explore the process of comprehending semantic meaning of sentences in listening comprehension, thus providing solutions to improve listening skills.
