After studying English for decades, countless "English" heroes bow to their knees.
Ambitious "Voice of English"
In the past decades, "she" told me to listen. I read the text carefully, recite words, learn grammar and do exercises. I have done everything I should to learn English, but I still can't understand and speak it. In the next four years, we still face the heavy responsibility of learning English well. God, what should I do? Dare to ask where the road is?
The traditional English teaching made me black and blue, and the English training in the market was mixed. I have been suffering from the confusion and pain brought by English for many years. Especially when I see that English is icing on the cake for others and that children in bilingual kindergartens can communicate in English, I want to shout at the sky: English, where is the way? The road is under your feet.
All the problems in English are interrelated. If something goes wrong in one link, it will have a chain reaction. First of all, we should make clear the root cause of not using English for ten years. There is no language learning theory here, because we are not linguists, and the requirements for us are not high, as long as we communicate confidently and freely.
As we all know, for children, adults are at a disadvantage in learning languages. The reason is that adults have "ideas". They often can't "empty" themselves, and always have their own subconscious methods and established subjective ideology for the objects they study. It is this form that affects a person's learning attitude and ability. For example, for learning English, most adult learners in China will think it is a very hard and long thing. The reason is that the traditional education methods in public schools in China have not really enabled them to master a language-inability to speak or understand is the main feature; Learning is useless is the only result. Over time, in the whole learning group, the fear of English learning is gradually accepted as a matter of course.
On the other hand, in the process of learning a language. Adults tend to be unconsciously distracted, worried, impatient and shy. If you can't study with strong interest and enthusiasm, you will certainly be distracted; Because of the inherent fear ideology of learning, I am of course worried about my learning results; After forcing yourself to study patiently for a period of time, the efficiency is not as high as you expected, and you begin to be impatient; China's inherent study habits and lack of self-confidence, students who are not used to speaking English will show shyness!
Then there is the most fatal problem: find an excuse to cover up your problems and give up! Therefore, we find out why China, a vast country, has the largest number of English learners in the world, but the least number of English users.
When we really find out the reason of deaf-mute English, we will know the direction of improving oral English-"Road" is at our feet. Language comes from life and English is around us. Being in the real context, we can release our nature, forge American thinking and improve our English application ability by simulating various life segments on the spot. Remember one sentence: your English is useless, not because you are useless; But because you are useless, it is useless. Your English is useless, not because you are useless; It's useless because you don't use it.
English is so charming.
Situational English teaching method completely subverts the traditional boring teaching of "you say I listen", "you say I write" and "you test me and recite". You can't find a desk or a textbook in the classroom of situational English. The whole classroom is the stage for students. The stage deducts real life scenes, so that English will be the icing on the cake for your future in the process of learning and using immediately. Countless students have benefited from situational teaching method, and at the same time, it has been passed on by word of mouth. English situational teaching
1. The scene breaks through listening comprehension
Before coming to the opening show, many students passed exams and listened to VOA, BBC radio and other traditional ways to improve their listening. It can be improved, but the effect is minimal. VOA and BBC involve political, economic, military and other professional knowledge and fields. What we need is to be able to communicate naturally in the real situation of daily life. You will never sing until you learn to speak!
The first step in situational English teaching is active input. Not only through hearing, but also through mobilizing the sensory organs of the whole body, using eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch, plus your sixth sense, to create three-dimensional thinking. For example, when you hear an apple, it is not only the sound, but also the picture, and the interaction with the apple: sour or not, sweet or not; Whether it is soft or hard, all sensory organs will be activated. If it is a scene, our professional teacher will take you into a real scene at any time, such as waiting for a bus, and the teacher will make the whole picture appear in your mind. In every sentence, the teacher will mobilize your sensory organs and make the scene flexible. Not overseas, overseas.
No textbooks, no notes. Many students who come to watch the opening show don't understand why there are no textbooks and they are not allowed to take notes. Because the textbook will seriously affect your listening. You can also do an experiment by listening to English songs. If you don't read the lyrics, more than 80% can't understand them. If you read the lyrics, you will find that there is not a word you don't know! This feeling, want to cry without tears!
Don't take notes, use your brain to remember. It's okay to forget. Remember it when you use it too much. Once you move your pen, you will not only be distracted in class, but also unlikely to go to see it after class, always thinking that you will rely on it. This is also the reason why many people can't communicate with each other after learning English for many years, because knowledge and skills are in the margins of notebooks or books, not in their minds. Share more and you will remember. Situational pronunciation and intonation
Let's talk about pronunciation first. Many organizations will take pronunciation as the first step in learning English. In other words, you must learn Chinese Pinyin before you can speak? ! So just mentioned, the first step of real-life teaching is active input.
Many students say that I read books and recite words every morning, as well as pronunciation books and cheaters. You just translate the English spelling in the book into your own voice, lacking real context. You are familiar with your own voice. If you are a foreigner, you will feel strange. Therefore, it is easy for China people to listen to their own English, but once they hear pure English, it is very difficult.
Let's talk about intonation again. As we all know, English is the language of emotion, and English is the secular desire. A very simple expression, different scenes, different meanings. For example, come on. It can be used to indicate refueling when running. It can also mean to come together; There are provocations and vague dissatisfaction. Of course, girls can also be used to coquetry.
You will see that the repeater is a major feature of the opening show, and it is also a beautiful scenery of situational English. In real scenes, imitate pure English and cultivate language habits. In the opening show, there are no grammar rules and pronunciation rules. Our professional teachers will let you cultivate language habits in situations and real contexts.
At the beginning, if you enter the wrong pronunciation and intonation, it will take dozens of times more effort to correct it than when you first learn it. Scene rehearsal
In traditional English teaching, adults often lose their senses, lose interest and give up to cover up their problems. According to a survey report on English learning, more than 95% of China students like to learn English by reciting. In the field of international English language, there is no such genre as recitation teaching.
Daily communication is not a single mode, but always a two-person mode and a multi-person mode. In the process of practice, we need to practice with different partners, constantly simulate real-life scenes, test each other and make progress together. Only a group of people can make you go further. In the real practice, the association divergence of each scene will bring endless fun to the students. For example, when practicing traffic problems, students will be anxious to wait for the bus. In fact, in life, everyone will encounter such a scene, and the bus that has been waiting for a long time will not come. So how to express it in English? Why do you never have a bus when you want it? Very authentic expression.
Then, when students do real-life exercises, they should not only perform real-life scenes, including emotional integration, but also meet the needs of the scenes with physical movements, and also connect the scenes with divergence: I recently rented a house urgently, but I haven't found a house for a long time. How can I express it? Why do I want an apartment but have one? A friend of mine wants to find a girlfriend, but unfortunately her face value is not enough: why does he want a girlfriend but never have one? Divergent association between partners can make us apply what we have learned more flexibly and make us full of fun in the process of actual combat drills. Scene reproduction
Any skill is mastered in the process of use. For example, your major is accounting. If you receive knowledge from books every day, you will never become an accountant in the big four accounting firms. Your skills must be mastered in the process of actual operation.
Through snowball-like scene reproduction, we can simulate the scenes in life before studying abroad, working or traveling. Improvised scene
Situational teaching method is a course that pursues the reproduction of "real scenes" in situational English classes, and its professional teachers will always immerse you in real life situations. Improvisation is also a true embodiment of life, which helps students improve their English thinking. This is an abstract English thinking. Through the wonderful deduction of "knowing how to explain", "knowing how to use" and "knowing how to replace", let students express their life scenes in simple and flexible words.
Stage classroom
"Situational teaching method" really integrates "entertaining" into the classroom. Situational teaching runs through the classroom and creates a positive and interactive classroom atmosphere for students. From every self-introduction, scene reproduction and improvisation, students need to perform on the stage, break through themselves again and again and release their nature. From daring to adapting to the stage, getting used to the stage and enjoying the stage, students are confident and comfortable on the stage, and can speak English fluently and sensibly anytime and anywhere.
Personality remodeling, the vast majority of students are afraid to speak because of insufficient psychological quality. "Dare to speak" is the basic psychological quality of speaking English. On the stage, you are a real actor. You can be a stone that looks like a fairy, or you can be a lazy pig. Every time you perform English, there will be different breakthroughs. You will find that your self-confidence has been greatly improved. You will find that no matter how many people there are, standing on the stage is just like going home. Your face is not red, and your heart is not beating. No matter where you go, you can show your best side to others generously and confidently.
Cultivate your own independent thinking; Creative thinking, innovative thinking and critical thinking. The stage performance is the crystallization of the collective and the result of the concerted efforts of Qi Xin. You need to push your ideas and have your own ideas and suggestions. Improve our communication skills and leadership. Instant learning
Situational teaching method conforms to two basic principles of experience output: real context and scene. Experience means that you must connect what you have learned with your real life, and finally become your own thing, which you can use again in your life. Situational English covers daily life, communication, study and work. Through the snowball-like reappearance of real life scenes, let us be familiar with and master the topics in life. When life enters the classroom, the classroom is also life.
