中文摘要：语言，是人类文化的传载，而人与人的交谈当中，听与说必不可少。听力理解在英语学习中占着极为重要的地位。研究人员表示，在大学英语听力课堂里，心理焦虑正是影响听力的首要因素，亦是学生产生听力恐惧及困难的“拦路虎”。
因此，本文重点研究非英语专业大学生在听力课堂中的表现及焦虑情绪,发现母语与社会环境是造成听力焦虑的潜在原因，而心理状况与文化氛围是基本原因，教育体制与教学氛围是主要原因，学生自身学习的不恰当方法是内在原因，而这些原因直接影响着学生学习英语的动机、自信心等等。针对些问题，本文尝试在老师的教学方面，学生的合作与兴趣方面，改革教育体制方面，提出解决的办法，从而使学生听力焦虑得到缓解，最终提高听力水平。
