New Concept English Book One Cover
The first thing to learn English is to practice basic pronunciation and intonation (including all phonetic symbols, linking and foreignization) and basic knowledge of English grammar, morphology, syntax and sentence structure. Learning the first book well is the key to practicing English well, which is suitable for learners who have poor English foundation and want to master it in a short time.

[Edit this paragraph] Two-volume (Practical Operation and Improvement) Elementary Class
Practice and progress: on the basis of mastering a book of grammar knowledge, explain grammar points step by step from shallow to deep, so that you can easily master monotonous grammar; By analyzing sentence patterns and explaining words and phrases, you can really use authentic sentence patterns in listening, speaking and reading. After mastering it, you can take the high school college entrance examination.
[Edit this paragraph] Three-volume (cultivation technology) advanced courses
The key to mastering English (expanding skills) is to analyze the internal logical relationship between sentences, so that you can see the refinement, beauty, applicability and simulation of sentence patterns, and then apply them to English writing. Teachers will further expand the practical application of explanatory vocabulary, phrases and grammar. Students who have about 3,000 words, or have already finished the second book of New Concept English, can stop learning the third book of New Concept English.
[Edit this paragraph] Four volumes (fluent English) elementary class
The four volumes of Fluent English cover more than 30 subjects such as civilization, economy, philosophy, art, sports, politics, aesthetics, psychology, sociology, education, ethics and geography. The choice of words and sentences is exquisite and original, and the sentence patterns are complex and changeable without losing conciseness and fluency. At the same time, many articles contain profound philosophical thoughts, aesthetic thoughts and common ways of thinking in eastern civilization, which makes this textbook a must for every learner who wants to truly master the essence of English language. Teachers will appreciate your subtleties. After fully mastering it, it is the IELTS level.
[Edit this paragraph] New concept learning manual:
1. Listen to the text first. See how much I understand.
2. Apply the repeater function, play sentence by sentence, listen and write one sentence, and leave blank the words you can't understand. Write down the dictation. Maybe you have dictated the whole text, and then combine the context to see if you can guess the words you can't.
3. Play back the sentences with empty words sentence by sentence and try to write them out. If not, open the book and have a look. Here, I don't advocate getting into a dead end. I hate myself for not being able to write a word for years. Because we really don't know some words, you will know them as long as you read the book, and you will meet them in other texts next time, which is equivalent to reviewing, so don't be too rigid. In fact, after reading it this time, I may really not write it next time.
4. Words that you can't, or words that you think are vague, look them up in the dictionary one by one and read your notes one by one.
5. Listen to these recordings every day. At least you should write down what you heard and wrote yesterday before dictating new content tomorrow.
6. Read Chinese notes and write English, and contact Chinese-English interchange. Relatively ineffective.
7. If you want to practice oral English, you should imitate reading aloud, preferably reciting.
8. Use Li Yang's "one breath" to train your eloquence. This is really useful. At present, you will find that listening to any English will not feel fast.
[Edit this paragraph] Phonetics and Learning
Seeing that the netizens in the forum are all looking for American English recordings of "New Concept" can be related to the fact that most of the listening materials are American English (such as voa TOEFL). However, I recommend you to use the new concept recorded by Longman Company in the UK, because the reasons are more complicated. This recording is designed at different speeds according to different English levels. From about 65,438+000 words per minute in the first volume to 65,438+020-65,438+040 words per minute in the second volume, and then to 65,438+050-65,438+060 words per minute in the third and fourth volumes, learners gradually become familiar with normal speech speed and design.
[Edit this paragraph] New Concept English Recitation Method
Method (1)
(1) Understand the purpose and concentrate.
Reciting a text or a sentence that must be mastered is the most taboo to look around, take it lightly, and be distracted. If it's a complicated text, and you keep making mistakes after reciting it for a few days, it must be because you are not dedicated. As for the scene of "remember first and then forget", it is normal. At this time, don't give in to this temporary difficulty and back down.
(2) to determine the obligations, looking for tips.
It is not feasible to recite a short article only a few times. You must remember it. It can be shorter and easier at first, and then make some adjustments. In addition, when reciting, we should pay attention to certain methods, be familiar with the content of the text, and understand the general idea of the text, so that we will not only remember wrong words and confuse them, but also remember more and more.
(3) Persist in memory and reflect in time.
The more time you spend reviewing and reciting, the better your memory will be. For example, recite the text or knowledge at night, stop reciting it before going to bed in the morning and getting up the next day, then review it properly every Saturday or Sunday, and recite it again one month later. Only in this way can we ensure that we will not forget for a long time.
(4) Strengthen dictation training.
As the saying goes, "It's better to read it a thousand times than to copy it by hand." Taking dictation skills can effectively stabilize the texts and knowledge that have been memorized, which is of great benefit to deepening memory. Since writing itself is a kind of figure and symbol, regular dictation can help us to promote the development of the right brain. If we can do it step by step and temporarily stop dictation training, it will definitely help the quality and effect of recitation.
Method (2)
(1) Combination of repeated reading and copying
Simply repeating reading is ineffective. Learners should take the initiative to stop trying to reproduce the article before they can fully remember it, and then read it when they can't remember it. This is easy to remember, and it will take a long time. Especially strange sentences, pay attention to reproduce them as many times as possible. Because trying to reproduce is a more active intellectual activity than reading, and it is also a process of self-reflection, which can make people pay more attention, grasp the key points and difficulties of memory content, and correct mistakes in memory in time.
(2) Give it a try
In the process of reciting, if there is a "jam", it is necessary to stop remembering. Memory is an intentional and direct way of reappearance, which requires great willpower, certain difficult restraint, searching for clues in many ways and stopping active and sensitive thinking. Therefore, you can't just get stuck and stop carrying it.
(3) study hard
After understanding and digesting, the article has been classified into my own fragmentary knowledge, and the sentences have become catchy after reading and trying to recite. Repeat it a few more times and you will be able to recite it fluently. In addition to group and individual recitation, there is also antithesis, that is, two people recite face to face at the same time, which can temper the depth and correctness of Mr. Wang's memory because of the interruption of the other party; Referring to the back is where to type, where to recite, where to mention and where to recite, which can temper the accuracy of Mr. Wang's memory.
(4) dictation
This is also a method of reciting in an external language, which can deepen the memory of the article with both brain and hand. An article is "eaten" paragraph by paragraph. At first, recite the paragraphs according to the standard of "all → part → all", then connect the whole article in series and stop reciting.
In addition, in order to make the recited content persist in the mind for a long time, so as to extract and use it in time in practical operation, learners should also pay attention to two points: First, follow the forgetting law and arrange review reasonably. Recitation and introspection should be done every day and arranged once a week. Strengthen memory traces from time to time to prevent them from weakening or declining. Second, according to the influence of memory level on the forgetting process, pay attention to arranging excessive learning. Experiments show that the effect of over-learning is better than over-learning. The so-called over-learning refers to the learning that stops when the back material has just reached the level of reciting. Excessive learning refers to continuing to stop learning after reciting the materials.

[Edit this paragraph] The benefits of learning new concepts
It is very helpful to the sense of language.
Learning new concept English is relatively helpful to improve English performance.
More real stories that people who learn new concepts can hear. There is a new concept in senior high school students' English learning, and the way is to recite every short article. I memorized the first two books in high school and the last two books in college. Because I know it by heart, I have a solid foundation and excellent oral English and grammar. Later, when studying in the United States, the professor thought that his article was cheating, because it was so good that it was not as true as that written by a native gentleman. So I called him in and asked him. He said I didn't cheat. The professor said how to prove it. He said that I could recite this article fluently. He recited article after article to the professor. At first, the professor cried, feeling that I was not reciting an article in my own words, but letting a China child recite it.
The new concept curriculum arrangement is suitable for learners to master English unilaterally. If they can recite in a down-to-earth way, I believe everything comes to him who waits. One of my teachers taught me a good way to recite, that is, after reading a sentence in a book, I immediately bowed my head and recited it. Keep looking up and reciting the next sentence, and then I bow my head and recite it. Repeat in segments and remember quickly and accurately. Give it a try!
How to learn new concept English better
In the eyes of English learners all over the world, New Concept English can be described as a "classic" textbook. Nowadays, learning "New Concept English" has become a common practice in China. So what's unusual about this book? New Concept English, written by the famous English language education expert Mr. L.G.Alexander, has been enduring for more than half a century because it can help learners improve their five qualities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation in a relatively short time. Let me help you analyze the benefits and detailed learning methods of learning new concept English from these aspects:
Part one, listen.
You can regard New Concept English as a good listening textbook. The supporting tapes of New Concept English are English version and American version. You can choose to buy according to your actual needs. To practice English listening through New Concept English, you can refer to the following steps:
Step 1: Don't read. Dictate the whole text. If you can't hear some words, guess what the word should be. If you really can't hear them, you won't be forced. With the increase of dictation, listening will be gradually strengthened. In the process of listening, we can also deepen our views on English pronunciation. Moreover, the actual operation proves that if you can reach the level of understanding at once, the scene of English translation into Chinese in your mind will disappear, and your reading comprehension will definitely be greatly improved.
Step 2: Compare the dictation with the original text, find out the mistakes, know where you are wrong, and how to prevent them in the future.
Step 3: Follow the text. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation of each word, try to imitate the tape and try to be close to it.
The second part, vocabulary.
The words learned in the new concept textbook are the most fundamental and commonly used words, and everyone must master them. For those who don't quite understand the meaning, it's best to look it up in Ying Ying Dictionary or Double Interpretation Dictionary to grasp its meaning.
The third part, grammar and reading.
I suggest you stop practicing and synchronous testing after class, stabilize the learning content and test the learning effect. In particular, every lesson of the new concept has its own central grammar content, which means that Mr. Threshold should master this grammar in every lesson. If ordinary students feel that their grammar and reading level are poor, it is best to choose some grammar textbooks and English graded reading materials equivalent to their own level, stop extracurricular learning and improve their English strength.
The fourth part, writing.
More people don't know how to improve their writing ability by learning new concepts. Actually, there are laws to follow. Before you come into contact with a new text, don't read its English first, but translate it into English according to its Chinese translation, and then compare it with the original text, so that once you compare it, you can find out your weaknesses and achievements in writing, correct them in time, and make continuous progress over time. In particular, some beautiful essays beyond three or four volumes provide quite good writing methods and model essays for everyone.
The fifth part, reciting.
In the process of learning, reciting some classic texts will be very beneficial to English memory and understanding. Especially for English beginners, reciting texts can deepen their memory of English and form a fixed memory area in their minds, which is a process from qualitative change to quantitative change. More classic sentence patterns, grammar, vocabulary, after reciting the text, can be very ineffective in the hearts of the reciter, so that students lose progress in reading, grammar and writing at the same time.
[Edit this paragraph] "New Concept English" Book 2 Recitation Class
The recitation class in the second volume of New Concept English is different from other lectures in this volume. It doesn't understand the grammar knowledge and other English knowledge of the text. I mainly teach the skills and methods of English recitation, which I have devoted my life to and studied for decades. The secondary obligation of this class is to help you remember the text quickly with superstitious memory methods and skillful memory skills.
According to the memorizing process of text sentences in people's brains, the recitation class of new concept English adopts different ways of filling in the blanks, filling in the blanks and memorizing the whole text, reproduces the whole text according to keywords, constructs English sentences, writes English words according to Chinese prompts, reorganizes words in sentences, reproduces single sentences, and takes the first letter of the whole text to complete the reproduction of words and sentences. In the process of sentence learning, putting it can prevent the rigid practice of integration and achieve the miraculous effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
In addition, the attachment of this film is also equipped with the shorthand of words in the second volume of New Concept English, which is summarized through abstract and vivid animation to complete the rapid memory of words and phrases. Text recitation+word shorthand make your study easier and get twice the result with half the effort!
Also, in order to supplement this teaching film, we have also equipped a corresponding exercise book, which combines writing and memory perfectly to help you complete the written memory of the second book of New Concept English while remembering!
