Abstract:Implicit learning is a process of obtaining complex knowledge by environmental stimuli in the unconscious state. Therefore, introducing implicit learning into English listening would have a positive effect on English listening ability.

In this paper, the author conducts the relevant questionnaire survey guided by the implicit learning theories. The author combined the characteristics of implicit learning with the relationship between implicit learning and explicit learning to analyze the role of implicit learning in college students' English listening, and the author also studies how to combine implicit learning with explicit learning to make implicit knowledge become explicit and improve college students’ English listening ability.

Keywords: implicit learning  explicit learning  English listening
