Abstract: As the research of cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics develops in great width and depth, short-term memory is supposed to have played an increasingly vital role in the course of English listening comprehension; meanwhile, research findings show that short-term memory affects learners’ listening comprehension to considerable extent. By means of literature review, this paper briefly introduces short-term memory theory, and on the basis of other scholars’ research in this field, the author puts forward some suggestions on how to improve college English learners’ short-term memory competence in the college English listening instruction.
