I have practiced my spoken English for several months recently, and I have achieved some gratifying results. I want to share some of my experience in oral English practice with you, hoping to help you.
Many students in China find it difficult to learn spoken English well. In fact, they have the following misunderstandings about spoken English:
1. You can't talk if you don't understand. In fact, students in China can't understand all the words clearly and can't translate them into Chinese. Translation itself is actually more difficult than oral English. Besides, as long as you can understand each other, you don't have to understand everything they say.
2. I feel that my pronunciation is wrong and try to correct it. In fact, language communication and communication are divided into two parts: fluency and pronunciation. Fluency is more important than pronunciation. For example, people with strong spoken English in the south can fully understand the news broadcast, so pronunciation is not the biggest obstacle to language communication. For example, Huang's English accent is too strong, but it still can't stop him from speaking on a higher platform.
3. You can't blurt it out. Many people speak English by translating Chinese into English in their minds, that is, thinking in Chinese first and then thinking in English, which undoubtedly increases the speed of language output. English thinking is actually speaking through scenes, not through texts. When you can speak the scene skillfully and the corresponding scene is generated, you can blurt it out naturally.
So what should the correct three views on English learning be?
1, the order of English learning should be: listening-speaking-reading-writing. First train yourself to understand each other's meaning, and then practice expressing it in your own language. Even if you don't have complete sentences and grammar at first, it's a corresponding reading and writing exercise in the later stage.
2. Practice fluency first, then pronunciation. When you can express your ideas fluently, even if your pronunciation is wrong, you have completed a large part of your work. Pronunciation can be corrected one by one in the later stage, which is a long and harmless process. But only if you can speak fluently.
3. Practice the scene dialogue first, not the expression of theoretical type. Practice oral English with the principle of multi-frequency and less time, and remember to use less frequency and more time. Practice for 5 minutes each time and say 10 times a day, which is better than saying it for 30 minutes each time and twice a day.
