為何口語停滯不前

1、為何口語停滯不前？老外教你五點(diǎn)建議1.Don't study grammar 不要過多學(xué)習(xí)語法This rule might sound strange to many ESL students, but it is one of the most important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, then you should try to learn English without

2、studying the grammar.對(duì)于許多ESL（英語作為第二語言）學(xué)生，這條規(guī)則聽起來很奇怪，但它是最重要的規(guī)則之一。如果你想要通過考試，那就學(xué)習(xí)語法。然而，如果你想要把英語說的更流利，那么你應(yīng)該嘗試學(xué)習(xí)英語這門語言而不學(xué)習(xí)語法。Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native. Remember that

3、 only a small fraction of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules. Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers. I can confidently say this with experience. I am a native English speaker, majored in English Literature, and have been teaching English for more than 10

4、years. However, many of my students know more details about English grammar than I do. I can easily look up the definition and apply it, but I don't know it off the top of my head.學(xué)習(xí)語法會(huì)讓你慢下來，把你弄糊涂。在構(gòu)建句子的時(shí)候，你會(huì)去思考規(guī)則，而不是像本國人一樣自然而然的說出一個(gè)句子。要知道，只有很小一部分的英語使用者知道超過20%的英語語法規(guī)則。許多ESL學(xué)生知道的語法其實(shí)要比本國人更多。從我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)來看

5、，可以充分說明這一點(diǎn)。我的母語是英語，并且主修英語文學(xué)，到現(xiàn)在為止也已經(jīng)教了十多年的英語。但是，我的學(xué)生比我知道更多有關(guān)英語語法的細(xì)節(jié)。我可以很迅速的去查找一個(gè)語法細(xì)節(jié)的定義并且去應(yīng)用它，但是我再脫口而出說的時(shí)候卻都沒有意識(shí)到這些規(guī)則的存在。I often ask my native English friends some grammar questions, and only a few of them know the correct answer. However, they are fluent in English and can read, speak, listen, and

6、communicate effectively.我總是問我同樣是英語為母語的朋友一些語法問題。他們當(dāng)中也只有很少一部分人能說出正確答案。但是，他們都說著很流利的英語，并且聽說讀和交流都很順暢。 2.Learn and study phrases 學(xué)習(xí)和研究的短語Many students learn vocabulary and try to put many words together to create a proper sentence. It amazes me how many words some of my students know, but they cannot

7、 create a proper sentence. The reason is because they didn't study phrases. When children learn a language, they learn both words and phrases together. Likewise, you need to study and learn phrases. 很多學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)詞匯，并嘗試把很多單詞在一起以構(gòu)建一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)木渥?。學(xué)生們的單詞量讓我很意外，但是要構(gòu)建一個(gè)正確的句子對(duì)他們來說卻很難。原因是因?yàn)樗麄儧]有學(xué)習(xí)短語。當(dāng)孩子們學(xué)習(xí)一種語言時(shí)，詞和短語他們

8、都學(xué)。同樣，你也需要學(xué)習(xí)短語。If you know 1000 words, you might not be able to say one correct sentence. But if you know 1 phrase, you can make hundreds of correct sentences. If you know 100 phrases, you will be surprised at how many correct sentences you will be able to say. Finally, when you know only a 1000 phr

9、ases, you will be almost a fluent English speaker. 如果你知道1000個(gè)單詞，你可能不一定能夠說一個(gè)正確的句子。但如果你知道1個(gè)短語，你可以說數(shù)百個(gè)正確的句子。如果你知道100個(gè)短語，你將會(huì)驚訝于你可以說如此多正確的句子。最后，當(dāng)你知道1000個(gè)短語，你就能說流利的英語了。3.Don't translate 不要翻譯When you want to create an English sentence, do not translate the words from your Mother tongue. The order

10、of words is probably completely different and you will be both slow and incorrect by doing this. Instead, learn phrases and sentences so you don't have to think about the words you are saying. It should be automatic.當(dāng)你想構(gòu)建一個(gè)英語句子的時(shí)候，不要嘗試著從母語翻譯句子。兩種語言的詞序有可能不同，如果嘗試翻譯，就很有可能出錯(cuò)。相反，如果學(xué)習(xí)短語和句子，你就用不著思考單個(gè)單詞

11、。這整個(gè)過程應(yīng)該是不假思索的。Another problem with translating is that you will be trying to incorporate grammar rules that you have learned. Translating and thinking about the grammar to create English sentences is incorrect and should be avoided. Reading and Listening is NOT enough. Practice speaking what you he

12、ar!翻譯的另一個(gè)問題是你將會(huì)試圖把你所學(xué)到的語法規(guī)則全部揉起來。依靠翻譯和語法來構(gòu)建英語句子是不正確的，應(yīng)該避免。 閱讀和聽力是不夠的。把你聽到的英語說出來！Reading, listening, and speaking are the most important aspects of any language. The same is true for English. However, speaking is the only requirement to be fluent. It is normal for babies and children to learn speakin

13、g first, become fluent, then start reading, then writing. So the natural order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing.閱讀、聽力和口語都是任何一種語言的最重要方面。英語也不例外。但是，“說”是我們唯一加了“流利”這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。對(duì)于孩童來說，他們先開始說，之后再開始說的流利，然后開始閱讀，開始寫作。所以一個(gè)自然的順序是聽力，口語，閱讀，然后寫作。First Problem第一個(gè)問題Isn't it strange that schools across the

14、 world teach reading first, then writing, then listening, and finally speaking? Although it is different, the main reason is because when you learn a second language, you need to read material to understand and learn it. So even though the natural order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing,

15、 the order for ESL students is reading, listening, speaking, then writing. 全世界的學(xué)校的教學(xué)順序都是這樣的：閱讀，寫作，然后再是聽力，最后是寫作，這難道不奇怪嗎？雖然有特例，但是這其中最主要的原因還是因?yàn)楫?dāng)學(xué)一種第二外語的時(shí)候，你需要首先閱讀一些材料，然后在去理解和學(xué)習(xí)它。所以即使自然的秩序是聽、說、讀，然后寫作，但是ESL 學(xué)生的順序是閱讀、聽力、然后寫。Second Problem第二個(gè)問題The reason many people can read and listen is because that'

16、s all they practice. But in order to speak English fluently, you need to practice speaking. Don't stop at the listening portion, and when you study, don't just listen. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking out loud until your mouth and

17、 brain can do it without any effort. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.許多人能夠說和聽的原因是他們練習(xí)的內(nèi)容就僅限于此了。但是為了流利地說英語，你需要練習(xí)口語。不要僅僅停留在就聽力部分。把聽到的材料大聲說出來，再練習(xí)。練習(xí)的時(shí)候要大聲，直到你的大腦和嘴巴能對(duì)英語信手拈來。通過這樣做，你將能夠流利地說英語。4.Submerge yourself 讓自己完全浸入Being able to speak a language is not related to how smar

18、t you are. Anyone can learn how to speak any language. This is a proven fact by everyone in the world. Everyone can speak at least one language. Whether you are intelligent, or lacking some brain power, you are able to speak one language.能否講一種語言，和你是否聰明無關(guān)。任何人都可以學(xué)習(xí)如何說任何一種語言無關(guān)。這在世界范圍內(nèi)都是得到證實(shí)的。每個(gè)人都能講至少一種

19、語言。無論你有多聰明，還是智商不是太高，你都能說一種語言。This was achieved by being around that language at all times. In your country, you hear and speak your language constantly. You will notice that many people who are good English speakers are the ones who studied in an English speaking school. They can speak English not b

20、ecause they went to an English speaking school, but because they had an environment where they can be around English speaking people constantly.之所以能這樣，是因?yàn)槟阋恢北贿@種語言所包圍。在你的國家，你不停的聽到并且說自己的語言。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)那些英語說得很好的人都是在說英語的學(xué)校里面的。他們能說英語并不是因?yàn)槭侨チ艘患艺f英語的學(xué)校，而是因?yàn)樗麄冇幸粋€(gè)環(huán)境可以讓他們不斷說英語。There are also some people who study abro

21、ad and learn very little. That is because they went to an English speaking school, but found friends from their own country and didn't practice English.當(dāng)然，也有人去了國外，但是學(xué)到的東西卻很少。這是因?yàn)樗麄內(nèi)チ艘凰f英語的學(xué)校，但是周圍的朋友都是來自自己的國家并且都不說英語。You don't have to go anywhere to become a fluent English speaker. You only ne

22、ed to surround yourself with English. You can do this by making rules with your existing friends that you will only speak English. You can also carry around an iPod and constantly listen to English sentences. As you can see, you can achieve results by changing what your surroundings are. Submerge yo

23、urself in English and you will learn several times faster.要想能夠流利說英語，你并不是非得去某個(gè)地方。只要你能夠被英語圍繞就行。要達(dá)到這種效果，你可以和你現(xiàn)在的朋友約定只說英語。你以還隨身攜帶一臺(tái)iPod，不斷地聽英語句子。正如你所看到的，您可以通過改變你周圍的環(huán)境實(shí)現(xiàn)預(yù)想的效果。讓自己沉浸在英語當(dāng)中，你將會(huì)學(xué)得快幾倍。5.Study correct material使用正確的學(xué)習(xí)材料A common phrase that is incorrect is, "Practice makes perfect." Thi

24、s is far from the truth. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.有句話可能有失偏頗：“熟能生巧”。練習(xí)只能讓你永遠(yuǎn)停留在練習(xí)。如果你練

25、習(xí)一個(gè)不正確的句子，那么你還會(huì)一直不正確下去。因此，你必須選擇大多數(shù)人選用的材料。Another problem I see is that many students study the news. However, the language they speak is more formal and the content they use is more political and not used in regular life. It is important to understand what they are saying, but this is more of an advanced lesson that should be studied after learning the fundamental basics of English.另外一個(gè)問題是，我發(fā)現(xiàn)很多學(xué)生都去學(xué)習(xí)新聞素材。然而，他們所學(xué)的語言聽起來就
