　　面对现在市面上各色的听力、口语训练材料(training material)，就犹如面对满目琳琅之超级卖场的商品(merchandize)，往往不知该从何下手，其实训练材料的选择直接关乎到训练的结果(result)。错误的材料导致错误的效果(effect)，而正确的材料用于错误的对象导致错误的搭配(matching)。

　　听力本身的提高(improvement)源于听力词汇量(即指听到后能立刻反应其意思的词汇)的增大与对不同地方口音(accent)的识别(recognition)能力的加强。就词汇量而言，需要根据读者自身情况进行因材施教，一般而言，该材料的阅读生词量(即指看到后能直接反应其意思的词汇)应控制在5%以内，类似《走遍美国》(Family Album)，《空中美语教室》(Studio Classroom)等都比较适合推荐(recommend)给有一定英语基础的读者(reader)，而《色拉英语》(Salad English)则适合基础相对较薄弱的读者循序渐进，因为其词汇量的安排也是由浅入深的一个变化过程(process)。以上材料的一大共同特色，也是学习听力的教材所必须具备的，是以场景(scene)为单位的安排模式(mode)。该模式从生活实用性角度而言是最为科学的(scientific)。当读者具备一定词汇量后可以开始涉足一些电影材料的学习，但就选材而言，以生活片、伦理片、爱情片等为宜，诸如《阿甘正传》(Forrest Gump)、《公主日记》(Princess Diary)等。因为这些片种更接近日常生活的表达(expression)，因此其词汇的选择更为实用(practical)，尤其值得一提的是Disney的真人片一般都简单易懂贴近生活(life)。应当注意避免使用以动作片为代表的语言含量过少的片种，以及以科幻片为代表的词汇过难的片种，类似《黑衣人》(Man in Black)、《星球大战》(Star Wars)等恰恰两者兼而有之。

　　就口音识别能力的提高，则需要尽量接触各种类型的发音特色(characteristic)，这一点在选材上较为困难(difficult)，一般而言BBC能满足对英音的需求(demand)，而VOA则能满足对美音的需求，但两者就词汇量而言还是有一定难度，尤其是它们都以新闻素材为主。因此就英音和美音而言，推荐使用《新概念英语》(New Concept English)，该教材本来就有4册按难度排列，另外也有英音和美音版的音像素材可供学习，当然，早期的一些类似《英语900句》之类的教材的配套听力素材对听说能力相对薄弱的同学来说，也不失为一种不错的选择(choice)。而其他的一些发音特色往往比较难以获得，类似《阿甘正传》(Forrest Gump)的阿拉巴马音(Alabama Tone)为美国南部乡村(village)发音特色;一些动画中的发音夸张化特色，尤以Disney为甚;而西班牙音，亦称拉丁音，主要源于拉丁美洲人进入美国后所产生，该发音在美国电影中经常可以接触到，诸如《越狱》中菲尔南多?苏克雷(Sucre)等，但如果要典型的(typical)浓重拉丁口音，则需要从雅思考试(IELTS)的一些素材中予以提取，有时间或可以在一些英语版的拉美片中找到其踪迹;印度音在中国相对最难接触到，但如果身边公司里有印度的工作人...
