Learning management using schema theory for English listening skill : a case study of Chinese vocational high school students in Zhejiang province
Abstract:
This study aimed to compare the vocational high school students English
listening skill before and after applying application of schema theory in English
listening lessons and explore their attitude towards it. Both quantitative and
qualitative methods were applied including four online lesson plans, pretest, posttest
and semi-structured interview with a sample group of four grade 10 Chinese students.
The results revealed that after applying schema theory in English listening
lessons, the students pretest and posttest mean score(x̅=13.50) was higher than that of
the pretest (x̅=7.50). The responses from the students interview on Interest and
Motivation, Engagement, and Efficacy showed that all of them expressed positive
attitude towards the application of schema theory in English listening lessons. The
findings remarkably proved that the application of schema theory should be
considered as an alternative and effective way of learning English listening skills in
Zhejiang province, China.
