1,What is Memory?
什么是記憶?
There are different types of memory. Some things we need to remember just long enough to accomplish a short-term task. We remember a telephone number just long enough to write it down or dial it out. But language acquisition involves long-term memory, which requires time and repetition to develop.
記憶有多種類型。有些記憶只足夠你完成某個(gè)短期任務(wù),例如重復(fù)幾個(gè)單詞或句子應(yīng)急,事后就忘得一干二凈。或者記一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼直到把它寫到紙上或者撥打出去。而掌握一門語言需要形成長效記憶,而長效記憶的形成需要時(shí)間和一定量的重復(fù)。
2,Language learning is a skill
語言是一種技能
Learning a language is like learning how to play a musical instrument. Frequent and effective practice is the key. The skills of listening and speaking, in particular, require speed. To develop this automatic ability, practice, with a lot of repetition, and without text support, is essential.
學(xué)習(xí)語言就像學(xué)習(xí)演奏樂器。頻繁而有效的練習(xí)是關(guān)鍵。聽和說兩項(xiàng)語言技能對(duì)速度的要求很高。要發(fā)展快速的反應(yīng)能力,練習(xí)和重復(fù)就是關(guān)鍵。
3, Skill development requires effective Practice
發(fā)展技能需要有效的練習(xí)
Studies of the brain and long-term memory formation show that repetition is very important to skill development. Listening and speaking abilities are skills to be developed, not knowledge to be learned.
對(duì)大腦和長效記憶形成過程的研究顯示,重復(fù)對(duì)技能培養(yǎng)是非常重要的。聽和說都屬于技能,而非知識(shí)。
4,The danger of using text support
文字對(duì)照阻礙聽力發(fā)展
Listening and reading use different pathways in the brain. Using text as a support interferes with the development of listening and speaking skills.
聽、說與閱讀分別使用大腦里不同的路徑。依賴文字的輔助會(huì)干擾聽說能力的培養(yǎng)。
5,Short, regular and frequent study sessions are most efficient
短時(shí)間、高頻率、有規(guī)律的學(xué)習(xí)*效!
Research shows short, frequent sessions are generally more effective than longer, infrequent sessions, because fatigue and other factors lead to inattention.
研究表明,短時(shí)間、高頻率的學(xué)習(xí)方式比長時(shí)間、低頻率的學(xué)習(xí)方式更有效。
6,Slow is Fast
欲速則不達(dá)
The biggest mistake learners make is trying to finish each task too quickly. In doing so, they fail to build the foundation skills and confidence necessary to communicate well.Practice Makes Perfect!
學(xué)生容易犯的*錯(cuò)誤是試圖盡快地學(xué)完每個(gè)任務(wù)。但是這樣做是不能夠培養(yǎng)有效交流所需的基本技能和自信的。
