講者:奚永慧 組長 (國立臺灣大學文學院語文中心)

0.學習方向
Speaking:發音+shadowing
Reading:practice+skill
Listening:transcription + keyword
Writing:read,paraphrase,pratice

1. 不要被文法受限
Basic grammar is sufficient.
重要性:習慣用法>文法
精確性:用字>文法
較深的字彙只是讓我們的語言更精確
The best way to learn english is to :
learn from example
learn from extensive reading.

2. 文句不通難成文
Read
cross-translation
Keep a diary



3. 建議書目 Read:What should I read
英文字根字典-劉毅-學習出版社
BBC
The Economist
The New York Times
graded readers
建議字典-Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/
勤奮背例句
單字背誦



4.建議的學習聽力網站
BBC(有豐富的資料,英式英文)-http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/
CNN(美式英文)-http://www.cnn.com/
NPR(美式英文)-http://www.npr.org/
Economist
Dont waste time to learn slang expressions(俚語)

5. 讀文章時要注意的事 What do we look for when we read
Good words, phrases, sentences
Collocation and Lexical Chunks
Let your brain do the rest

6. 我們如何講外國人的英文 How can we make our English sound like English?
  • 需要嗎?
Dont be ashamed of your pronunciation,
but it's better to aim high.
  • 注意重音:words and compounds
a light 'bulb (輕,燈泡)<> a 'light bulb(電燈泡不一定亮著)
a women 'doctor (是women也是doctor)<> a women hater(恨女人的人不一定是女人)
a black 'bird (黑的鳥)<> a 'blackbird(畫眉鳥不一定黑)
a white 'house (白色的房子)<> the 'White House(白宮不是全白色建築物)
a clean 'cup (乾淨的杯子)<> a 'coffee cup(咖啡杯不一定是咖啡)
a sharp 'knife(鋒利的小刀)<> a 'carving knife(切割刀不一定在切割中)
  • 注意連音:Whaddayasay?
  • 注意音調與節奏


7.有聽沒懂鴨聽雷,腦筋打結說不出
Prescription
Thinking in English
Transcription(練習將聽的文章寫下來)
Keyword (get the main idea)
Lots of practice(白宮風雲(DVD))

-Talking to yourself
-Quality Input
-Shadowing 跟著念,follow the sentence tempo(建議選自己能勝任的文章)
(發音,重音,連音,語調,節奏)


綴句-打太極拳的說法,要能很順暢的說出
The following factos should be taken into consideration.
The reason presented above. I firmly believe that ...
