1、中国学生英语口语自学误区本文提要:学习英语有许多误区,口语学习误区就是其中之一。本文作者内文·布卢默(NevinBlumer)先生以理论与实践相结合为原则,讨论了英语口语自学的四大误区:一、中国学生不愿跟与自己水平差不多的中国学生练习口语,以为这样会对自己的口语带来不良影响,殊不知与自己在水平上相差太大的人练习口语易使自己丧失信心;二、学英语只能向美国人学,刻意模仿美国口音,殊不知只能语音语调正确,用词得当,就是好英语;三、词汇量不大时不开口,殊不知只需掌握一定量的词汇,尤其是功能词,就能用英语进行交流;四、只知死背语法,殊不知必须根据上下文,不断使用固定句
2、型以达到熟练的程度。针对这些误区的存在,他给英语口语自学者提出了一些学习建议:1.自创英语口语学习环境,而不必担心交流的对方不是以英语为母语的人;2.每日抽出一定时间接触生动而有意义的英语原文;3.持之以恒,自我鼓励。 AgoodEnglishclassisavaluablemeansforacquiringandpracticingEnglish,butstilltherealityisthatmuchofyourprogresswillarisefromyourownself-studystrategies.Asateacherforcloseto10
