http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjY4NjE1OTQ4.htmlI came across this TED talk yesterday in which Chris Lonsdale, a psychologist from New Zealand talks about language learning. He believes that anybody can learn a language in six months if they follow the five principles and seven actions that he has formulated after assessing all the research available on language learning.
9 d; f: h* t1 W; c: [2 o8 W昨天我看了一個(gè)TED演講,,來自新西蘭的語言學(xué)家Chris Lonsdale講了語言學(xué)習(xí)的方法,。在評(píng)估了所有語言學(xué)習(xí)的研究之后,他總結(jié)出了5個(gè)原則,、7個(gè)行動(dòng),。他相信只要遵從這5個(gè)原則、踐行這7個(gè)行動(dòng),,任何人都能在6個(gè)月內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)一種外語,。' E* q* l1 f+ Y
6 ] x8 H. F7 t9 B2 gThe five principles are:
5 @, m9 a7 } N8 K3 n5個(gè)原則:
3 {# {! I0 q/ s+ Z1. Focus on language content that is relevant to you.. r: ?% I7 p% {$ T$ N+ _+ Q
專注和你日常相關(guān)的語言內(nèi)容。9 K! s2 l0 ]5 c- x( s a
2. Use your language as a tool to communicate from day 1.9 e: f/ D1 S; _. H! Y! r
從學(xué)習(xí)這門語言的第一天開始,,就把它當(dāng)做你的交流方式,。
, g6 K* t' k y, y9 Z _3. When you understand the message you will acquire the language unconsciously.( F; Q- {7 J# c6 i2 s* ^0 X
當(dāng)你明白含義之后,你會(huì)慢慢不知不覺地習(xí)得這門語言,。) f, m0 _2 \% R0 F0 v- t
4. Language is not about accumulating a lot of knowledge but is rather a type of physiological training.1 z( S2 W+ j' T# |6 V1 X8 v' Q m9 D
語言學(xué)習(xí)不是大量知識(shí)的積累,,而更像是一種生理訓(xùn)練。; g5 c/ h/ S/ F" o
5. Psycho-physiological state matters – you need to be happy, relaxed, and most importantly, you need to be tolerant of ambiguity. Don’t try to understand every detail as it will drive you crazy.
) H6 ~" [7 K8 O心理狀態(tài)和生理狀態(tài)都很重要:你需要愉快,、放松,,最重要的是對于模棱兩可要有一定容忍性。對于細(xì)枝末節(jié)不要過于糾結(jié),,因?yàn)槟菚?huì)把你逼瘋的,。
3 m' t& p8 z' G y! h
/ q) F' P5 X2 U1 w+ D! s1 H) bThe seven actions are:3 p5 R+ J* D/ d l& ^5 t
7個(gè)行動(dòng):
! I; ]5 \5 L: y5 o' a1. Listen a lot – it doesn’t matter if you understand or not. Listen to rhythms and patterns.
7 A: J4 I3 q2 x/ x |; E多聽——理解與否不重要,,盡管去聽吧!去聽聽語言節(jié)奏和說話模式,。+ z I! K& L) f* F
2. Focus on getting the meaning first, before the words. Body language and facial expressions can help./ ]6 W. F! y0 m) D
先專注理解整體意思,,再弄清單詞含義。身體語言和面部表情會(huì)有所幫助,。1 p8 K6 ^- @* r) Q7 d- M' L& P9 M
3. Start mixing, get creative, and use what you’re learning
7 x7 t+ I1 t, b: N開始混合,,創(chuàng)造話語并使用你所學(xué)到的一切。
* Z5 a$ V# z9 q( g* J1 X+ @4. Focus on the core – use the most commonly-use the words, and use the language to learn more
, \- L! g, Z5 K1 O& q把注意力集中在核心部分——使用高頻詞匯,,利用你已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)的東西學(xué)到更多,。
. b$ N0 {0 `' I* S7 s, a/ k5. Get a language parent – someone who is fluent in the language and who will do their best to understand what you mean; who will not correct your mistakes; who will feedback their understanding of what you’re saying using correct language, and uses words that you know.
9 p u2 Z8 X5 T% ]3 B! m找個(gè)語伴——能流利講這門語言的人,或者能盡可能理解你說什么的人,。注意,,語伴不會(huì)糾正你的錯(cuò)誤,但能夠用正確的語言,、你明白的語言來對你的表現(xiàn)做出反饋,。
" E) `, F1 i/ A# O6. Copy the face – watch native speakers and observe their face, and particular their mouth moves when they’re speaking.( e. T. Y! B5 ?. A* H+ K! [
模仿面部表情——有些人的母語正是你要學(xué)習(xí)的新語言,你要觀看他們講話,,觀察他們的面部表情,、尤其是講話時(shí)的嘴型。
2 \1 Y7 Z, _. H0 L& A7 @/ \- t7. “Direct connect” to the target language – find ways to connect words directly with images and other internal representations.
7 ?; u0 O8 h3 C# i在大腦和目的語之間建立“直接聯(lián)系”——想辦法讓語言和大腦中的圖像或其他內(nèi)部表象產(chǎn)生直接聯(lián)系,。 |
