Second step: speaking and imitating by repeating the words they know
Being sensitive to the people around, babies can speak some basic words when they are one or two years old. Of course, they trend to imitate the ways of how people say the sentences.
Third step: watching pictures and reading some simple 毕业论文http://www.youerw.comwords
When babies are more than three years old, they can look at pictures and understand the meanings what they show about. That is because they have learned the scenes by observing with their keen vision when they are not old enough to speak. At this stage, babies can soak up knowledge very fast, and they are also good at memorizing what they have learnt.
Last step: writing and expressing ideas with ease
As a baby grows older, he or she acquires the basic language skills that enable him or her to learn new words and form simple and complex sentences. From then on, they continue to add to their knowledge of the language.
According to the steps above, we can see that most natural way for people learn mother language is by listening, speaking, reading and then writing. However, Chinese English education is just bottom up the order, students are taught to write the words first, and then do a lot of practice in reading, and the last step is listening and speaking. It is obviously not most natural order, and that is the reason why most of people feel difficult to learn English even they spend several years on it. Thus, English education in China should correct the steps of teaching order so that learners may master the language naturally as a baby does.
4.2 Confirm the correct pattern of English education: change the direction of “writing-reading-speaking-listening” to “listening – speaking – reading - writing”
The purpose of English teaching is to let the student acquire four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, the goal is not to obtain good grades but to empower the student so that he or she can use the new language for communicating with others, new words to hang ideas on and new sentence patterns to unlock doors in the mind through which thoughts cab flow freely and new concepts can be conceived.
Why do we study English? If a man is only good at listening and speaking, can we say that he is good at English? No. If a man is only good at reading and writing, can we say that he is good at the language? No. If a student is good at English, he should be able to use the language, both in speaking and writing.
Now most of the students do better in reading and writing English than in listening and speaking. They can read and write, but they can hardly communicate. They can hardly express themselves with their own words. This is partially because of our examination system, and partially of the teaching method. We are not able to change the examination system, but we can improve our teaching methods.
Most of all the teachers like to provide the students with a lot of knowledge-words, phrases, grammar, usages and so on; they are focusing these things, especially on the grammar. Yes, the students do need these, but many teachers forget to teach them how to study English, and how to use it. So when you are giving the knowledge to the students, don't forget to teach them all the abilities of the four skills.
It is no doubt that the fours skills are vital for English learners, but the most important thing is that we should correct the order of these fours skills. On the basis of the analysis of how babies learn a new language above, it is known that the correct order of English learning should be “listening-speaking-reading-wiring”, which should take the place of the traditional order.
