Southbridge learning English needs an appropriate fault-tolerant error correction rather than the super
noon and Ireland Literature Exchange, director Sinéad and his colleagues Aoife dinner. Sinead just go to China to participate in the Expo venue of exchanges in Ireland and with the literary novelist Clare Keegan participate in some exchange activities. While in Shanghai, she learned some of the Chinese played a role. “I use most is a noun, it has also to deal with the past.” Faster cars such as the driver opened restaurant, she Jihan: “Hotel! Hotel!” The driver put the car stopped.
I said, in fact, many Chinese students of English, why do not you speak English? She said very few people speak English, but she also specifically looking for those people trying to look 20 the following words, they rarely say, and the like can not say. Her own language school is not much, why can a simple exchange, Chinese students, if it is 20 below that, then at least junior high school a few years it is also why many white people learn it? Expo to see a lot of people, I think she “sample” size must not small, can not be said is a special case, but it should be said quite representative. I thought “dumb English” is dead, but, also alive and well.
We went on to say learning Chinese, she said that she actually still think it is very studious, and her teacher corrected her spelling of the four tones. I e also taught American Chinese, I was sloppy on the four tones, it is necessary. First of all, foreigners speak Chinese, tones do not often have little relationship between foreign accent we can accept. Mountain is an exception, should not be routine. Second, for the learner too “correction” was in fact contrary to the laws of learning, it is also the teaching of English in China where a trap.
For this problem, I have a contrast. When my daughter to kindergarten, only half a year, from the illiterate, to be able to see the development of a simple book, write some sentences. The end of the nursery she just wrote a “book.” Teachers use the outline of her foot, cut a lot like the footer to the pages, let her write in the above characteristics of the foot. Daughter is written:
My foot where nell polish. (Correct spelling: My foot wears nail polish. My feet painted nail polish.)
My foot can where socks and shoos. (correct spelling: My foot can wear socks and shoes. my feet can wear socks and shoes).
My foot can do a trick. (written sentence touches on, my feet can play the trick.) My foot can danc. (correct spelling: My foot can dance. I will be dancing feet .)
My foot can kick a boll. (correct spelling: My foot can kick a ball. my feet will play.)
My foot smell stingky. ( correct spelling: My foot smells stinky. my foot odor.)
My foot can march. (my feet will travel.)
My foot can wiggle. (I The foot will twist.)
My foot can stomp. (would stamp my feet.)
My foot can play. (my feet will play.) < br />
nursery my son just ended, has gone through this same process. So this process is how did this happen? Of course, there are three main reasons, First, English is a phonetic system, can say basically can write, must accept the law; Second, there is a language environment, access to much more, but most of the main reasons I think that a teacher guidance, is teaching reasons. First, the teacher let the children spell words according to pronunciation. Such as the children hear the dance “dance” the pronunciation of the word, it will spell “danc” and the like, although wrong, but pretty close. In contrast, when I studied English in phonetic spend too much time. Teachers are too concerned about a phonetic pronunciation of the corresponding types, like Kung said, “back” several written word, although accurate, but in the early stages of learning, the ability to understand people still lags behind the time to study these are not much help. Better to a lot of accumulation, and then began to organize. From the learning sequence, is the first I heard, after the reading and writing. You have to know, after all, English is a phonetic system, those who can hear, and can say it, spell out all pretty close.
Second, the less the teacher to correct the child spelling errors, especially in the kindergarten stage. Since that time the enthusiasm of a child to learn is the need to care when you demand perfection, the child will be too scared to write down, where as my daughter can be like a foot could write so many tricks to. The reason I found the teacher of this approach is because the teacher is to first grade after it began to focus on spelling, write a few words on the wall so that every child back home, called the word wall words. But also to encourage more try not to suppress the child creativity, but do not suppress their confidence. From the motivation point of view, this is incentive based. Besides, at the beginning of time, misspelled can understand. Dont u think so?
Third, the test is to test student teachers, not test the students will not. If you have any rules, the teachers in early childhood education phase of the general test rules, rather than the exception test. Such as past tense verb plus ed, the teacher let the children go outside at this stage remember that the ever-changing irregular verbs, such as give the past gave. These things to the right time, so students generally have some understanding of the law after revisit. The Chinese language test on the contrary, we like to test some of the special use rather than the usual usage of verbs and irregular verbs in the rules of usage, eyebrows and beard grabbed, the lack of step by step, and made us what is what is the exception to the rules at once figure out. And often emphasize the wrong, they might also be counterproductive, said students should not know what the light did not know what to say. From learning theory, this is a distinction not fully consolidate the practice is not consistent with the natural laws of human learning. From the feedback point of view, the United States emphasize early language teaching is common, and in the future to further study for students to learn to change and distinction.
In fact, these ideas early in the above I wrote, when I think of a child, but communication with Sinéad, I found that adult learning is also very similar. I suggest that if she continues to learn, then, at least in the mother scolded Ma Ma up to identify when a person said: “This is my mother.” No matter how bizarre your tone, we are not mistaken, said: This is my Mama. This fault tolerance in the majority of people are hearing some. We may smile, but that is because well-intentioned, I feel funny, everyday exchanges that we will not think this is a big deal. Then we learn English, Americans should feel relatively similar. English comedian yellow West a lot of in-country training teachers far less “standard”, and he said talk show have said that the White House to go.
learning English, many people seek the “standard American” language, or the standard British English. We went to school to learn British English, but later contact with the English throughout the United States, I now to Ireland, Aoife Oklahoma accent that I have, I think she is got it wrong, I have nothing to Oklahoma accent, only the standard Tongcheng accent. Likewise, I find that the Irish people have a strong Irish accent. But we will not have much communication problems, the foundation is the same, the difference no more than Henan and Liaoning, then the difference would be even greater. This demand perfection is unnecessary, unless your job requires you to engage in broadcasting and so on.
five or six people to learn English, if the daily life are struggling to cope with fifty-six words, it is certainly teaching methods or learning a problem. Many people learn a foreign language is like a ghost hit the wall, and turn, and found still in place, why? Because too much emphasis on perfection, can not make mistakes, to the pursuit of the “standard American” language, or what the “standard English”, the result not only not perfect, it touches fall into the trap, get out. There was a conversation we might have fully understood. Our teacher taught us that, with the acquaintances say hello, to say: How are you doing? www.e-lietou.cn
the other side will answer: Fine, thank you. And you?
then you said: Me too.
There is a joke that there was a man , is so over the school, then to the United States, had an accident, the police came over and asked: How are you doing, sir? he only said: Fine, thank you. So the police left.
So he died.
