提高英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)和聽(tīng)力的技巧

What is the most important English skill? What skill must you have to communicate well?  

學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)最重要的技巧是什么？怎樣才能很好地用英語(yǔ)進(jìn)行溝通？

 

Obviously, number 1 is Fluency. What is fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak (and understand)

English quickly and easily... WITHOUT translation.    Fluency means you can talk easily with

native speakers-- they easily understand you, and you easily understand them. In fact, you

speak and understand instantly. 

顯然，首當(dāng)其沖是要流利。流利就是在不翻譯的情況下，你能快速地說(shuō)出英語(yǔ)，并且很容易理解。流利意味著你能夠很輕松和外國(guó)人進(jìn)行英語(yǔ)對(duì)話(huà)，他們能夠理解你，你也能夠理解他們。事實(shí)上，流利就是你可以快速地開(kāi)口講英語(yǔ)并領(lǐng)會(huì)其意思。

 

Fluency is your most important English goal.  

流利是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的最重要的目標(biāo)。

 

The research is clear--there is only ONE way to get fluency. You do not get fluency by reading

textbooks. You do not get fluency by going to English schools. You do not get fluency by

studying grammar rules.  

研究表明只有通過(guò)一種方法才能達(dá)到英語(yǔ)流利的目標(biāo)。讀英語(yǔ)課文、上英語(yǔ)輔導(dǎo)學(xué)校、學(xué)英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法都不能夠讓你的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)變流利。

 

Listening Is The Key  聽(tīng)力是關(guān)鍵

 

To get English fluency, you must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening. That is the  

ONLY way. To be a FANTASTIC English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not

with your eyes. In other words, you must listen. Your ears are the key to excellent speaking.  

為了讓自己的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)流利，你必須在理解的基礎(chǔ)上大量地練習(xí)聽(tīng)力。要用你的耳朵而不是眼睛學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，這樣你才能成為一名優(yōu)秀的英語(yǔ)演講者。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，你必須多聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)。

 

What kind of listening is best? Well, it must be understandable and must be repetitive.    

Both of those words are important--Understandable and  Repetitive. If you don't

understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. That's why listening to English TV

does not help you. You don't understand most of it. It is too difficult. It is too fast.  

怎樣練習(xí)聽(tīng)力呢？理解和重復(fù)，這兩點(diǎn)很重要。如果你不理解，你什么也學(xué)不到，也不會(huì)有提高。聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)新聞對(duì)你沒(méi)有多大幫助。因?yàn)橛⒄Z(yǔ)新聞太難太快了，大部分內(nèi)容都很難理解。

 

It’s obvious right? If you do not understand, you will not improve. So, the best listening material is

EASY. That’s right; you should listen mostly to easy English. Most students listen to English that is much too difficult. They don’t understand enough, and so they learn slowly. Listen to easier English, and your speaking will improve faster! 

如果理解不了所聽(tīng)內(nèi)容，你的英語(yǔ)就不會(huì)有所提高。因此，最好的聽(tīng)力材料應(yīng)該是簡(jiǎn)單的。大多數(shù)學(xué)生聽(tīng)難度較大的聽(tīng)力材料，因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)有充分理解其內(nèi)容，所以他們學(xué)的很慢。聽(tīng)一些簡(jiǎn)單的聽(tīng)力，你的口語(yǔ)會(huì)提高很快。

 

Understanding is not enough. You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word

only once, you will soon forget it. If you hear it 5 times, you will still probably forget it!

只有理解還是不夠的，你還必須反復(fù)聽(tīng)。如果一個(gè)新單詞你只聽(tīng)一次，你會(huì)很快就把它忘了。如果聽(tīng)五次，你仍有可能忘掉。

 

You must hear new words and new grammar many times before you will understand them instantly. 

你需要很多次地聽(tīng)新詞或語(yǔ)法，才能很快地理解它們，記住它們。

 

How many times is necessary? Most people must hear a new word 30 times to remember it

forever. To know a word and instantly understand it, you probably need to hear it 50-100

times! That's why I tell my students to listen to all of my lessons many times. I tell them to

listen to the Mini-Stories, the Vocab Lessons, The Point-of-View Stories, and the Audio

articles everyday. I recommend that they listen to each lesson a total of 30 times (for example,

2 times a day for two weeks).  

大多數(shù)人學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)新單詞需要聽(tīng)30次才能不會(huì)忘記。要想認(rèn)識(shí)并理解一個(gè)單詞，你需要聽(tīng)50-100次。這就是我要求學(xué)生要多次聽(tīng)我的課的原因。我告訴他們每天要多聽(tīng)微型小說(shuō)、詞匯課程、觀(guān)點(diǎn)故事和音頻文章。我建議他們每節(jié)課要聽(tīng)30次（比如，每天聽(tīng)2次，堅(jiān)持兩周就行）。

 

So, the two most important points are: listen to easier English and listen to each thing

many times.     

因此，聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)最重要的兩點(diǎn)是：聽(tīng)簡(jiǎn)單的英語(yǔ)材料和大量地練習(xí)聽(tīng)力。

 

Suggestions For Powerful Listening and Excellent Speaking  

練習(xí)聽(tīng)力和口語(yǔ)的建議

 

1.       Practice “Narrow Listening”

1、練習(xí)“窄聽(tīng)”

 

 “Narrow listening” means listening to many things about the same topic. This method is more powerful than trying to listen to many different kinds of things. Students who listen to similar things learn faster and speak better than students who listen to different kinds of things.  

 “窄聽(tīng)”是指多聽(tīng)相同主題的材料。這比聽(tīng)很多不同主題的文章更有意義。聽(tīng)類(lèi)似文章的學(xué)生比聽(tīng)不同種文章的學(xué)生會(huì)學(xué)得更快。

 

For example, you can choose one speaker and find many things by him. Listen to all of his pod- casts, audio books, and speeches. This is powerful because all speakers have favorite vocabulary and grammar. They naturally repeat these many times. By listening to many things by the same person, you automatically get a lot of vocabulary repetition. You learn faster and deeper! 

比如，你可以找一個(gè)演講者，從他身上你可以學(xué)到很多。聽(tīng)他所有的播客、有聲讀物、演講。這對(duì)你學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)大有益處。因?yàn)樗醒葜v者都有自己最喜愛(ài)的詞匯和語(yǔ)法。他們會(huì)自然地多次重復(fù)這些詞。通過(guò)聽(tīng)同一個(gè)人的很多東西，你可以獲得大量的詞匯。你會(huì)學(xué)得更快!

Another example is to choose one topic to focus on. For example, you could read an easy book, listen to the same audio book, listen to a podcast about the book, and watch the movie.  

另一個(gè)例子是把注意力集中到一個(gè)主題上。例如，你讀一本簡(jiǎn)單的書(shū)，只聽(tīng)它的音頻，聽(tīng)它的播客，看關(guān)于它的電影。

 

I did this with my class in San Francisco. We read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Then we listened to the audio book. Then we watched (and listened to) the movie. Then we listened to interviews with actors in the movie. My students learned a lot of vocabulary in a short time, and their speaking improved very quickly.  

我的學(xué)生們都是這樣練習(xí)英語(yǔ)的。我們讀《查理和巧克力工廠(chǎng)》。然后我們聽(tīng)它的音頻文章，看關(guān)于它的電影。之后我們聽(tīng)演員們的訪(fǎng)問(wèn)。我的學(xué)生們從中學(xué)到了很多詞匯，并且他們的口語(yǔ)有了很大的提高。
