What Are the Different Types of English Learning Resources?

English learning should follow the following five principles. As U.S. President Lincoln said: One must base language, logic, and "simple common sense" on issues and decide on a plan of action.

English learning methods

1. Be sure to fully grasp the class time and follow the teacher's thinking.

2. Persist in listening to the tape recording and reading the text aloud to improve your own voice and intonation.

3. By studying the text, translate the text in the spare time.

4. For the grammatical focus of each lesson, it is necessary to summarize and analyze it in a timely manner.

5. The texts to be memorized must be silent.

Learning English: Start Simple

When we were in college, our English teacher let us read a lot of English. Some students borrowed the original work. On the first page, there were more than 20 new words. On the second page, there were more than 20 new words ... By the fifth page, I didn't know what the first page was about; by the tenth page, I didn't know the previous one. What nine pages are about. Reading became extremely difficult and monotonous, and I realized that there was no gain. Reading the original English book became a process of searching English dictionaries and memorizing new words, which became a chore. So few people can persist and give up. Some of them made a second effort and gave up. What is the reason? I think it goes against the common sense of "step by step".

The so-called "progressive" requires you to start with "simple". Learning and using English must follow simple principles. At the time, I happened to start with simple English reading materials. There are now a number of "simple readings" in the bookstore that abbreviates the original. I read those shorthands written in 500-800 words, then read shorthands in 800-1500 words, and then read works shorthanded in 1500-2500 words ... I can read in because I understand ; Reading feels particularly good. When a person has a sense of accomplishment, self-confidence is born, and it becomes stronger and stronger, which also generates greater interest. Foreign English literature works seem to have taken me into a different country, a different culture, a different life, and met some different friends. In the process of entering another culture, life, character, and custom, a strong fascination, a strong desire. I want to read every moment!

Only from a simple beginning can it be easy to get started, easy to generate "interest", and easy to keep things going. English reading should follow the "simple principle", listening, speaking, and writing should start from the simplest, because the simple principle has great advantages:

1. Create a sense of accomplishment and cultivate self-confidence.

2. Increase interest.

3. The language is catchy.

4. Easy to learn.

Many Chinese students are dismissive of simple language, seeking understanding and not trying to use what they have learned. Chinese students are most fond of pursuing a word-"difficult" in learning English. Although I learned a lot of difficult things, I didn't "use" them. In fact, it is really important that simple things can be used flexibly and accurately. For example, speaking, people do not see how difficult words a person can say. The key is to see if he can use the simplest words, sentence patterns, and grammar to express emotions and thoughts. English-speaking people communicate daily with a limited number of words and simple sentence patterns.

The key to English learning is to learn the easy things and use them easily.

More-good, more-better, most-best

The Chinese learn English more than intensive reading, intensive listening, and intensive speaking, but extensive reading and extensive listening are not enough, and a lot of nonsense is even more inadequate. Without quantitative change, how can we make a qualitative leap? Therefore, Chinese people must pay more attention to "Pan" while learning English. Such as learning English reading, if you do not read a sufficient amount, you cannot read English proficiently. To learn listening, listen to a variety of tapes, listen to English radio, watch English TV, and watch English movies. If you want to learn spoken English, speak English as much as possible. Learning English shouldn't be too eager to achieve success, because only with "quantity" can there be a "quality" leap.

The accumulation of quantity is necessary. Many people often have a misunderstanding when learning English, and think that a book represents a level. For example, when reading an elementary reading book, you will say "My reading level has reached the elementary level", after finishing an advanced reading book, you will binge "I have reached the advanced reading level". Just after reading a book of elementary oral English, I think that I have a basic level of oral English. After reading a book of advanced spoken English, I think that I have advanced spoken English. In fact, English learning has a "point-line-area" relationship. A book is just a point. Countless books are connected into a line, and more lines form a surface. The so-called "level" is a matter of surface. As far as reading is concerned, the first step is to read a large number of elementary books. After you have read 30 elementary books, when you read the 31st elementary book, there are few new words, you can easily understand and enter the world described by the author, then you can read intermediate level books . I just read a book at the elementary level and the basics were not laid down. I was anxious to read a book at a higher level, which would inevitably lead to a failure to achieve speed. It is naturally impossible to learn well. That is to say, no matter what level of English you are in, the accumulation of the quantity at the corresponding level is necessary. English listening, speaking, and writing should also follow this principle.

Language learning is to cultivate a feeling, and feelings are cultivated by the accumulation of quantity. As the saying goes, it comes naturally. By the same token, when a certain amount is reached, "sense of speech" is produced. At this time, you should raise your feelings to ideas and integrate the ideas into your own thinking so that English can be used freely. Please note that the accumulation of quantity is most important in the basic phase. The charm of the pyramid lies in its perfect building structure. Only with a broad and deep foundation can the glory of the spire be created. The reason for learning English well is the same. You must lay a solid foundation, and you can learn English well only if you have a solid foundation.

Someone always asks how long it takes to learn English well. This question is difficult to answer because there is no standard for good English learning, and the speed of learning English varies from person to person. But one thing is for sure, you must have the right way to learn English. In fact, if you learn English in the right way, you will get started very quickly. It takes a year or two from entry to being able to communicate in English. Therefore, if you always do it the right way, you will soon learn English well.

There is an English proverb "Repetition is the mother of skills". You can recall the process of learning any one of your skills. Whether it is swimming or cycling, it is a process of repeating the same type of movement. The acquisition of any skill, including English, of course, comes from repetition. One thing repeats a lot, and it feels and deeply grasped. Therefore, when developing English skills, you should also follow the principle of repetition. For example, when reading, after you have read 20 primary books, you must find one of the 20 books that you are most interested in reading 10 times or even 20 times. Similarly, after you have read 20 intermediate-level English books, you should find one of these 20 books that you are most interested in reading 10 times or even 20 times. Listening and speaking must also follow the principle of repetition. For example, after listening to 20 primary English listening tapes, you need to select one of the 20 already heard tapes and listen to the tape 20 times. When first learning oral English, the principle of repetition is even more important. Because, just after learning oral English and recite some English, I found a companion to practice and repeat what I have learned. The "repeat principle" and the "quantity principle" are indispensable, and the two must be organically unified. Learning any one of the skills in English: reading, listening, speaking, writing must be based on the principle of quantity, and then repeated. There must be some words or sentence patterns in English that you understand well and have mastered. You can use them flexibly to communicate. Please note that these proficient words and sentence patterns must be repeated many times by you. These repeated things have become part of you, so you can use them freely. Repetition is the most important way of human memory. Repetition allows people to accurately and profoundly understand the nature and internal laws of things. The principle of quantity requires you to read more, listen more, speak more and write more, emphasizing a "pan" word. The principle of repetition requires you to do the same thing many times, that is, to emphasize a "fine" word. It seems that the two contradict each other. But contradictions must exist. I think the best things in the world must be contradictory. Because only two contradictory bodies can produce the greatest motivation to move the subject forward. Good English learning methods should also strive for unity of contradictions. It is necessary to accumulate quantity and spread the noodles, and at the same time to thoroughly study a reading book, a spoken book, a tape, and a movie. It is important to learn "fine" part of the content on the basis of quantity.

Language is an identification symbol formed by people in long-term practice, and its use of "rules" can be followed. Children learn language is a process of imitation. They imitate everything they can imitate, such as parents, people around them, and television, and they are more and more like it. Suddenly one day, they stop imitating and gradually form their own personality characteristics. Language way.

As an English learner, you must imitate what you already have. "Innovation" that does not experience imitation in place means error. Innovation comes from imitation. Imitation is the foundation of learning English, and imitation is the foundation of innovation. Only after you have truly mastered the soul and essence of English through imitation, can you then talk about your language style.

The principle of imitation is essential when learning English. For example, when learning phonetics, you need to repeatedly practice phonetic transcription, pronunciation of words, and read sentences and articles aloud. In the practice process, try to imitate the pronunciation of phonetic transcription and the pronunciation of words, and imitate the pitch and rhythm of sentences at the same time. Imitation is important to learn good phonetics. If you want to learn spoken English, imitation is also important. When you learn spoken language, try to imitate What you have read and what you have heard. Of course, if you imitate what you have read and heard using the "repeat principle", the effect will be better. If you want to learn English writing, imitate The importance is even more obvious. You have to read a variety of different types of articles, famous articles, and after reading it over and over again to really understand, you must imitate meticulously. The more you imitate, the better. This is English. Learn the most basic common sense.

A friend of mine speaks spoken English very well. When he talks about the secret of learning spoken language, he always says "what a foreigner says, I will say it; as long as a foreigner writes it, I will write it." Roadbreaker!

As for the principle of imitation, you can choose to study English films, because English films have real context and all aspects of life. Using movies to learn English tools, you can achieve an in-depth understanding of the script of the movie, and you can write the lines of each sentence. The role actors imitate and practice spoken language together, and the effect of improving spoken language is very obvious!

"Interest is the best teacher." Learning English must first be interested and strive to develop this interest. If you are not interested in English, there will be no continuous motivation and motivation, and English learning will be difficult to continue. Conversely, once you have an interest in English and work hard to develop it, you will unknowingly do it, read English with a strong desire, listen to English, speak English, and write English. You will take the initiative to find someone to practice English, and find everything that can improve your English to improve your English. Unconsciously your English will improve. Before you know it, you learn English. Therefore, "interest" plays an important role in learning English well. However, despite the importance of interest, few people consciously and step by step develop and develop their interest in English.
