A few days ago, I conducted one-on-one consultation and training with Miaobian Dad Education Partner Cheng.
She raised an English learning question:
"Miao Bao Dad, do you propose the retelling method, lesson brushing method, drama brushing and lyrics in the practical method class conflict with the original method?"
This question is very well mentioned. There is a potential problem behind it: "Is there any English learning method that is the most advanced? "
I have summarized the essence of the answer at that time, and today I will introduce it to you in detail.
Everyone knows that a book co-written and published by Professor Xu Huohui and other teachers in Foreign Studies Society is called "Chinese English Self-study Method". This book is centered on the original method.
original method is a very efficient language learning method, which focuses on English listening. The original method proposes the principle of "maximizing listening, optimizing listening", and proposes excellent principles such as listening, 321X, "listening first, reading follow-up" .
Through the original code method, many English learners have improved rapidly, and the English learning within the system has also been greatly improved after adopting the concept of the original code method.
So how do you analyze the source of the effectiveness of the original code method? How do you view other English learning methods? Is there any advanced and effective method that can crush other methods?
Miao Bao Dad has some basic analysis and thinking on this issue for your reference.
Foreign language learning has about five development stages.
The first breakthrough stage of learning foreign language is text method stage .
For example, Europeans' learning of Ancient Greek , ancient Latin , Chinese people's learning of English and Russian after liberation and before Reform and opening up were all text-based stages.
At that time, because there were too many technical, conditions and equipment conditions for recording and recording, it was difficult to go abroad to communicate directly with target language people, so people learn foreign languages, in most cases, can only learn through reading and grammar analysis by using text, grammar according to phonetic grammar, etc.
But due to the lack of input and input of pure voice and input.
But due to the lack of pure voice input and input It turns out that the formation is often "deaf and dumb English".
The second breakthrough stage of learning foreign languages is the essay stage .
This stage is represented by Zhong Daolong's reverse English and Lai Shixiong English and Li Yang Crazy English.
Zhong Daolong particularly emphasizes the fine input of listening. He emphasizes the essay. Teacher Zhong Daolong recommends that everyone learn from his role models and strive to hear every word clearly through dictation. What Zhong Daolong wants to achieve is the accurate copy of every listening word.
His slogan is: "There are thousands of ways to learn, Work hard, Article 1. "Because a large amount of dictation is extremely boring.
Lai Shixiong and Li Yang particularly emphasized the fine output of the words. They emphasized the precise speech. Say each phonetic symbol standard, each word is accurate, and every sentence is smooth. Lai Shixiong and Li Yang want to achieve accurate copying of each spoken word.
At this time, pure foreign language phonetic materials have been popularized in China with the reform and opening up. BBC, CNN and other materials have been obtained.
Zhongdaolong is a bit older. Therefore, materials such as CNN news and technology broadcasting are still the main ones. Li Yang has more opportunities to come into contact with more diverse materials and materials for celebrity speeches.
The shriveled text can become a recording with pure pronunciation, which is undoubtedly a huge improvement.
Since the English learning materials are still very limited, they all adopted the single intensive learning model of "find a material and learn thoroughly one material". Lai Shixiong even clearly proposed the foreign language learning principle of "slow is fast, less is more".
Since the country's door has been completely opened at this time, economically developed regions have already had a large number of foreign exchanges in English directly, speaking English has become a necessity, and it has become an efficient path to learn English. Therefore, there are many practical oral materials in the materials recommended by Lai Shixiong and Li Yang.
In fact, the stage of intensive listening and speaking also contains the results of the text grammar translation stage. Because the materials of intensive listening and speaking also have text.
The third breakthrough stage in learning foreign languages is original method stage . Learning materials such as
CNN, BBC and celebrity speeches are documentary materials and lack sufficient fun. At this time, audio books from Britain and the United States began to spread to China. The novel is interpreted by very awesome English readers, and even many theater audio books similar to the Hollywood blockbusters.
has such material conditions, the original method came into being. The original method emphasizes listening to a large amount of high-quality and interesting audio materials.
In fact, the original classical method stage still contains the results of the text grammar translation stage and the quasi-study and study stage. Because the X in the original 321X includes reading the text and also contains the careful listening and elaboration of some essential fragments.
The fourth breakthrough stage for learning foreign languages is play-making stage .
In addition to the huge wealth of English audio books, with the influx of foreign English TV series, movies and entertainment shows, English learning has entered the era of multimedia. Learning English through American TV series, movies and English songs has become very popular.
At the same time, it has also entered a period of time, which is to regard appreciating English entertainment as a "way of life", not just a "way of learning".
In fact, when the material you appreciate is "audio drama", it is the material generally targeted by the original law, and when the material you appreciate is "multimedia drama", it is the material generally targeted by the film and television law. This "drama" that is used to make dramas cannot be understood as a "film and television drama". Brushing also includes two situations: slow brushing (general learning) and fine brushing (numeral learning).
Therefore, the original script method and the play-making method do not conflict. Because watching dramas includes both audio and audio-visual dramas.
In fact, film and television also contain three elements: text, audio and video. In layman's terms, when you are enjoying American dramas, do you also see the picture and hear the sound and touch the text?
So, in fact, the play-making method includes all the elements of the text grammar translation stage, the intensive listening and speaking stage and the original classic method.
But it is worth mentioning that the original classic method in , which is the learning method with audio books as the main material, has some irreplaceable special advantages.
First, listening has the ability to multitask.
You can listen to English while walking, but it is difficult to read articles or watch videos while walking.
This way, a large amount of scattered time can be used. In this way, "maximize learning time" and "maximize input" are achieved through "listening maximization". Second, listening is often less harmful than vision.
As long as we do not use too many headphones or have too high volume, we can listen for a long time without hurting our hearing. However, under current technical means, excessive screen time is often harmful to the eyes.
But we should not have too many obsessions about "just listening to sounds".
Learning native language is the most efficient way to learn, and English learning efficiency is definitely greater than using the "original code method" simply.
We analyze that American children learn English in a meaningful communication scenario. They not only hear the sound of English, but also receive rich information such as vision, touch, movement, taste, and smell.
American children will not listen carefully and listen repeatedly to their voice information without any interest. Their lack of understanding of pronunciation is not the real lack of understanding. They don’t seek much understanding when watching movies and TV because the images give them enough meaningful and motivated information. They don't seek much understanding when listening to the song because the beautiful melody gives them enough meaningful and motivated information.
The more diverse and richer the perception channels of the same language content, the higher the efficiency of language learning.
to give a simple example. If you guess a riddle, is it a clue that gives you a clue that is easy to guess? Or are you given 10 clues that are easy to guess? Of course there are 10 clues. Therefore, when learning English, you should not be stubborn on "just listen to voice".
The fifth breakthrough stage in learning foreign languages is communication method stage .
This stage emerged with the popularity of foreign teachers in China.With the popularity of online foreign teachers such as European and American foreign teachers and the Philippines, which are of high quality and low price, learning language has come into contact with the core - actual communication.
If you learn language without communication, you will lose your soul.
Why is communication method the core method of native language learning?
The reason is that communication method not only contains text, but also voice, but also scenes. At the same time, one-to-one feedback and adjustments were added. This is not available in one-way learning methods such as text method, intensive listening and speaking method, original script method and drama-making method.
If it is a real person offline communication, it also adds almost all feelings such as touch, movement, smell, taste, etc. And you can adjust according to your needs to get more targeted information. For example, if you don’t understand, you can ask questions, if you can’t see, you can adjust the distance, etc.
We can see that from text learning method to intensive listening and speaking method, to data method and then to communication method, it seems that English learning is becoming increasingly like learning in the native language. Therefore, it can be called the learning method of native language.
But isn't one stage more advanced than another? wrong! A big mistake!
Each learning method is designed from the perspective of one or several senses, each with its advantages.
When we feel that there are more channels and richer information, the higher the learning efficiency.
But even if we grew up in the United Kingdom and the United States, should we read newspaper textbooks? If you want it, it is text method.
Do we want to dictate words and read sentences aloud? If you want it, you will listen carefully and speak carefully.
Do we want to listen to audio books? If you want it, it is the narrow sense of the original scripture.
Do we want to watch English TV movie entertainment programs? If you want it, it is a drama-making method.
Do we want to socialize with people? If you want it, it is communication.
Therefore, even if you learn English in an absolute native language in the UK and the United States, you will use the various methods listed above to "combine packages" according to your actual situation.
These five stages are not an evolutionary process, not a new process of eliminating the old, but a process of enriching learning methods and methods with the development of society. All learning methods should be used for us, and sometimes we can directly read text only will work very well. Sometimes we listen to audio books more and focus very much on the voice stream, which is very effective. Many times we should use the method of watching dramas to enjoy more English movies and TV entertainment shows as our lifestyle. Sometimes in order to break through pronunciation and language sense, we should conduct a lot of essays and essays. We should also provide a large number of opportunities to communicate with native English speakers.
Therefore, you should not be superstitious or obsessed with a solidified learning method, but should carefully analyze the "bottom logic".
