Due to the unequal English learning foundation, maladjustment or plateau effect, high learning enthusiasm and a lot of energy investment often fail to achieve the expected learning effect. Many college students want to learn but are afraid of learning, but they can't learn well if they work hard, resulting in psychological experiences of inferiority, helplessness and resentment. This kind of negative psychology is universal and persistent. If it is not corrected in time and effectively, it will have a serious negative impact on teaching. Stimulate learning motivation, gradually improve the cognitive structure of English learning, correct learning motivation and adjust psychological state. English learning in middle schools is mostly forced by exams, while college learning pays more attention to all-round development. English is the window to understand western culture. Scientific research shows that mother tongue learning mainly uses the left hemisphere of the brain, while foreign language learning can start and develop the right hemisphere of the brain. Foreign language learning can expand our thinking, modernize our basic ability structure and develop our language ability scientifically. Human consciousness is divided into explicit consciousness and implicit consciousness, which are coordinated with each other and have the best information input effect. Students should adjust their psychological state and learn English with a positive and optimistic spirit. According to your English level, learn English as a language and master the most commonly used life terms; Use English as a tool to learn the most needed professional expressions; Taste English as an art, appreciate favorite English articles, build self-confidence through daily gains, and eliminate anxiety through steady improvement. Form learning style and improve cognitive structure. The cognitive structure of English learning includes attitudes, interests, strategies, experiences, English knowledge and skills in the deep consciousness of cognitive subjects, which is a development process of constantly organizing and reorganizing the internal structure. Real English learning is to establish an organic connection between English input and existing appropriate concepts in cognitive structure, and to realize the assimilation and adaptation of old and new knowledge. There are three main types of college English learning difficulties: lack of foundation, maladjustment and plateau effect. Among them, lack of foundation refers to failing to reach the basic goal of middle school English syllabus, maladjustment refers to the inadaptability to college English textbooks, teachers and teaching methods, and plateau effect refers to the stagnation and difficulty in breaking through English learning after reaching a certain level. To solve the above problems, although each has its own emphasis, it is necessary to understand the relevant knowledge of psychology. The ultimate goal of foreign language learning is to realize the timely transformation of thinking mode and language form between mother tongue and target language, so as to carry out effective information transmission. English learning should analyze, experience and absorb available words and expressions in constant language input according to communication needs, closely connect with daily life, study and work practice, express yourself in English, and develop language communication ability from near to far. Renew the concept of learning and master the ways and means of English learning. College English teaching reform is guided by constructivism learning theory and cognitive theory. Learning and applying cognitive theory can scientifically describe the internal laws of English language and the cognitive process of language information processing, and reveal the interdependence between students' mother tongue and thinking, thinking mode and language expression, cognitive style and cognitive strategies. Mastering the constructivist learning theory to highlight students' dominant position requires that the teaching content be practical, cultural and interesting, and the teaching technology be interactive, realizable and easy to operate. A democratic, equal and harmonious learning atmosphere, colorful teaching scenes, flexible teaching means and methods, reasonable evaluation mechanism and encouraging evaluation methods can enhance students' subjective consciousness, stimulate students' interest in learning English, and make every student gain a successful psychological experience and build up self-confidence, which will be transformed into a new motivation to learn English well. College English teaching emphasizes the use of language carriers to let students know about science and technology, western social culture and other knowledge. Network teaching provides rich learning resources, covering social science and natural science. The power of science and humanity are harmonious, the form of art and the form of logic are complementary, and divergent thinking and convergent thinking are combined. Give full play to students' subjectivity and change acceptance into discovery learning. In teaching activities, students are the participants and practitioners of English learning practice and English knowledge cognition activities, and they are the main body of cognition. The teacher is the guide, organizer and helper of this activity. The role of teachers is to guide students to play the main role, make teaching plans, arrange teaching contents and design teaching activities according to the contents of the syllabus; Set up teaching situation, turn teaching content into life communication, and organize multi-directional communication and cooperation between teachers and students and between students; Help students to carry out discovery-based learning, develop good study habits and cultivate students' autonomous learning ability. College English teaching changes passive learning into active learning, acceptance learning into discovery learning, and declarative language knowledge into procedural language knowledge. Use multimedia to display learning materials, organize discussions, put forward assumptions, deduce possible solutions to problems through cooperation, analyze and compare them, and draw guiding language rules. The combination of knowledge explanation and ability training, classroom teaching and after-class autonomous learning; Through the cognition, operation and mastery of language rules, we can cultivate students' innovative consciousness and ability and help them build a personalized English language system. Through the proper exploration and conscious application of students' original language cognitive ability, students can understand their own knowledge level and learning style, gradually learn to control the learning process, choose learning methods and evaluate learning results, overcome the fear of difficulties in English learning, learn more and gain more every day, and foreign language learning becomes relaxed and happy.

There are two pages in it, which comprehensively introduce newspapers and magazines in English-speaking countries.

The twentieth trick: forget the dictionary for a while.

When reading English novels or newspapers, we will inevitably encounter some new words. If you always stop to look up the dictionary, it will be disappointing and your interest in reading will be stifled. Therefore, we suggest that you sometimes forget the dictionary temporarily.

First of all, the reading materials you choose should be equivalent to your English level and interesting to you. Just turn over a few pages and browse. If you can understand more than 80% of each page, you can conclude that this book is suitable for you.

Secondly, when you encounter new words in reading, don't look them up in the dictionary. It's enough to guess from the context first. After reading it from beginning to end, go to the dictionary for further study.

Read this kind of books, read more and read quickly. Students or friends might as well borrow from each other, which can not only save money, but also form the habit of fast reading.

Many articles on the Internet teach you how to pass CET-6 in one month and CET-4 in half a month. Personally, I think it is possible! But that's definitely for friends with a good English foundation. If you have a poor English foundation at first, you can only follow me step by step. In fact, the most important thing is that there is no shortcut to learning. I hope to share some of my experiences with you, especially those friends who have no English learning foundation and want to learn English well.

Listen:

The listening part is the easiest part to get points in CET-4 and CET-6. Out of 20 points, if the listening level is good, the test 16- 18 is not a problem. The so-called good level, I think as long as I can understand voa stand English, it is enough to cope with Band 6. Personally, I haven't systematically heard the questions in the CET-4 and CET-6 over the years, but the test scores and listening scores are 16- 18.

At first, it was hard for me to even hear VOA Special English. My method is: an sp should listen to it 4-5 times, make clear the pronunciation and meaning of English words he doesn't understand, and then insist on listening training for 2 hours every day, attacking sp crazily. If nothing happens, bring an MP3 player to get used to English context. Two months later, I listened to a band 4 tape and found that what I didn't understand at all became simple.

Now, you have a certain listening foundation. Then you can do some special dictation and try to listen to stand English. At this stage, your confidence is really hit. There are many spelling mistakes in dictation. Stand sounds like a gobbledygook, and then you think: my level is still not good, 5555 ~ ~ but it doesn't matter. In fact, you have made progress, but you don't realize it. Keep at it, and gradually find that your dictation accuracy has improved, and stand has become more and more familiar. When dictation is special and easy, you can start to try dictation with shorter brackets. If you can persist in training, you can meet the requirements of band 6 foreign language listening in about half a year. Because CET-6 is not particularly demanding on listening, if you can understand stand, you will really feel that the pronunciation of CET-6 is really slow.

Here's a little. In fact, listening to some listening questions in CET-4 and CET-6 before the exam can help you understand the types of questions and get familiar with the examination mode, which is definitely worth it. I'm conceited about listening, so I haven't heard much. As a result, I always can't get full marks in listening.

word

This is a commonplace topic. As we all know, words are the foundation of English. Without words, just like Gai Lou without bricks, we can only imagine castles in the air. But writing words is considered to be the most difficult and boring thing. Friends with good foundation can learn words by reading books, but friends with poor foundation can't do it at all. I can't understand the whole article, so what are we talking about learning words? Since we are not up to standard now, we must make more efforts than others. CET-6 is finished, and the draft paper for memorizing words has been packed in a big box.

Everyone must have had this experience. Words remembered not long ago will soon be forgotten. What do we do? At that time, we recite about 30-40 words every day, review the words of the previous day the next day, then spend 1 hour every Sunday to review the words of the week, and spend a few hours each month to review the words of the month.

In this way, you can accumulate a relatively large vocabulary in half a year. Review the words again before the exam. Because it is for the exam, you can find some high-frequency words about CET-4 and CET-6, and focus on reciting them (there are many related materials on the Internet).

For half of the vocal music, you need to do questions. When I took CET-6, I made a breakthrough in vocabulary in a CET-6. Take a week to find out all the questions in it and write down all the words you don't understand. Because the experience of CET-6 in previous years is that many questions are repeated.

read

Reading, in my opinion, is to increase reading quantity, improve reading speed and master certain reading skills.

At first, because of poor foundation, articles that are too difficult are definitely not suitable for friends with poor foundation. First, you can read some novels adapted by bookworms (high school level) to practice your feelings. When the amount of words has accumulated to a certain extent, you can officially start to improve your reading level. The first is to do real questions, from band 4 to band 6, try to understand the sentences and words in the real questions, and make some analysis on difficult sentences, especially grammatical structures. Here's a problem: at first, your accuracy will be very low. Don't lose heart. Stick to it and learn the essence from every reading. You will soon find that reading is really not that terrible. Secondly, for CET-6, you can usually read news magazines like China Daily, which can improve your interest and reading level. Now I like reading 1-2 English newspaper every night, which has become a habit.

composition

Composition has always been my weakest project. Although my Chinese in high school is the top three in my class, it is a pity that the university has never touched Chinese books and lost them all. If you study according to the above three aspects, your composition will certainly not be bad. After all, English is a process of all-round improvement. Your listening, reading and vocabulary are good, and your composition can't be bad.

But that doesn't mean you don't work hard. Here, I think of what an English teacher said in a CET-6 class: Reading is like breaking thousands of books, and writing is like God's help. One word of composition: back! If you recite a lot of model essays, your composition will not be less than 6 points. But I suggest that while reciting, you can copy down some wonderful sentences with a small notebook, look at them often and draw inferences. What are the different effects of using the same sentence in different places? Experience it for yourself. Moreover, these wonderful sentences are the highlights and the basis for the teacher to give you high marks.
