1,What is Memory? 什么是记忆?
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.
记忆有多种类型。有些记忆只足够你完成某个短期任务,例如重复几个单词或句子应急,事后就忘得一干二净。或者记一个电话号码直到把它写到纸上或者拨打出去。而掌握一门语言需要形成长效记忆,而长效记忆的形成需要时间和一定量的重复。
2,Language learning is a skill 语言是一种技能
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. 学习语言就像学习演奏乐器。频繁而有效的练习是关键。听和说两项语言技能对速度的要求很高。要发展快速的反应能力,练习和重复就是关键。
3,Skill development requires effective Practice 发展技能需要有效的练习
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. 对大脑和长效记忆形成过程的研究显示,重复对技能培养是非常重要的。听和说都属于技能,而非知识。
4,The danger of using text support 文字对照阻碍听力发展
Listening and reading use different pathways in the brain. Using text as a support interferes with the development of listening and speaking skills.
听、说与阅读分别使用大脑里不同的路径。依赖文字的辅助会干扰听说能力的培养。
5,Short, regular and frequent study sessions are most efficient
短时间、高频率、有规律的学习最高效!
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,短时间、高频率的学习方式比长时间、低频率的学习方式更有效。
6.Slow is Fast 欲速则不达
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! 学生容易犯的最大错误是试图尽快地学完每个任务。但是这样做是不能够培养有效交流所需的基本技能和自信的。 请记住:熟能生巧! |
