ABSTRACT

In recent years, the CET-6 (College English Test, Band 6) has become an important standard to measure the English language ability of Chinese college students, and listening is a challenging task for many students. The application of indirect speech act theory in CET-6 listening is seldom studied. Therefore, it is crucial to study on it. Based on the two observation points of indirect speech act theory in CET-6 listening, this study analyzes the specific embodiment of conventional indirect speech acts and non-conventional indirect speech acts in listening, and discusses the effective teaching methods of CET-6 listening.
