ABSTRACT

Listening is an important input way of language learning, and is closely related to language learning. Now, listening is still a weakness for English learners in colleges. In recent years, many experts and scholars have explored the application of lexical chunks in teaching, trying to solve the problem of students' vocabulary acquisition. However, there are relatively few researches between lexical chunks and listening achievement. Based on the lexical chunks theory, the research finds that lexical chunks teaching can relieve students' anxiety in English listening, improve their English listening scores, and stimulate students' chunk consciousness.
