In order to get your point across in your target language, you have to learn plenty, of words. How do you set about it? Dr. Paul Meara, who lectures in applied linguistics, believes there are lots of different ways of learning words.
"Generally, anything you do with the word which actually makes them yours rather than just abstract things which appear in a book or on a record will almost certainly help you to learn them. So, for example, writing them down is better than reading them. Putting them on bits of paper and sticking them up around your house is better than just looking at them in the page of a book. Saying them out loud is better than reading them quietly. Anything which actually gets you to use would probably help".
Encouragement and nurturing in the students and belief in their ability to learn is one of the central tenets of a relatively new approach. It’s called Accelerated Learning and it’s an offshoot of an idea that began in Bulgaria. Michael Lawlor runs a language school for business executives, teaching foreign languages to the British, and English to foreigners. He’s currently testing this system to see if he can incorporate it into his teaching program at his school. The main principle is to tap the students’ emotions as well as their intellects and, to begin with, to get them to visualize themselves as successful communicators in the language they’re learning.
"They can actually create a very clear mental picture of themselves in five years’ time, in the country where the language is spoken, interacting with the people. They can also boots their own confidence as learners by recreating past successful learning situations. Many people fail in learning a language because they lose belief in themselves as a learner. The other element which we have found very helpful is to teach people to relax. People learn better when they relax. We teach them to sit properly so that they don’t lose energy up. All these things are part of the learning process".
"Dr. Lazanov in Bulgaria, in his original experiments, found that baroque music produced a state of relaxed awareness, which is now known more generally as the alpha state. If you take the largo passages or the adagio passages from largo music, you find that they correspond more or less to the slowed-down speed of the human heart about 60 beats to the minute. So we’re helping people to slow down their body rhythms. The mind then becomes more receptive and open to passive learning, to listening. So that’s why music of this kind is important. But it also, of course, touches the emotions. The music will induce a state of pleasurable expectation and if we can link the emotion of pleasure with learning, then we’re making a very valuable contribution to the students’ affective, or emotional involvement with the learning process".
The choice of a soft-spoken female voice to present the language in accelerated learning techniques is also deliberate. After ail, who was it who taught you to speak your own language all those years ago?
选项
A、they are too old.
B、they lose their own confidence.
C、they lack language ability.
D、the teachers are not good enough.
答案
B
解析
本文第四段第三句,Michael Lawlor谈到语言学习时讲到:"Many people fail in learning a language because they lose belief in themselves as a learner".这句话指的是人们学不好语言并不是因为他们老了,失去语言的学习能力,或是因为老师不好,而是因为他们对自己失去信心。
