中国人学习英语的障碍

这周很有幸被UTAS的科学老师 Mr Bruce Duncan赏识，让我为Master's degree of Education 的学生辅导英语。随着移民政策变得更加严格，教育专业的学生需要雅思成绩达到口语和听力8分才能移民。每周星期三上午11点，我会为Mr Bruce Ducan 的学生免费辅导英语。如果你有兴趣参加的话，可以联系他：

以下是我今天所讲的大概内容，希望对大家有帮助：

Difficulties in learning English as a Chinese

• Language habits from Chinese language
  

• Pronounce every word individually with a flat intonation
• There are no consonants (辅音)at the end of  Chinese words (except the consonant /n/)
  

• Believe that language is knowledge when it is actually skills
  

• Spend too much time learning grammar and vocabulary, without learning English itself
• Lack the mastery of simple but useful sentences, conversations and paragraphs
• make haste to read many books about English but have no proficiency with one textbook.
  

• Lack of interests and confidence in English
  

a. Many students are not interested in English though they would love to study aboard or immigrate to an English speaking country

• Students are not interested in English and they demonstrate little confidence when conversing with native-speakers
  

Solutions for Chinese Students

• Unlearn Chinese and be aware of the language differences
  

• Compare the characteristic differences between Chinese and English
• Master the phonetic sounds (43 sounds) of English
• Always be aware of the attributes of English when speaking English (training & correction)
  

• Proficient skills come from drill, rehearsal and real-life practice
  

• Learn English from a well written textbook with native-speakers’ recording
• Listen to the recording many times and imitate exactly like how the native speakers talk
• Seek opportunities to speak to native speakers(or good non-native speakers) AND make sure they strictly correct your mistakes
• Keep practicing till you can feel that English is part of your soul (sub-consciousness)
  

• Fall in love with English
  

• Be curious about how English differs from Chinese with an appreciative attitude
• Poems? Stories? Movies? Songs? Celebrities? Or native speaker friends? Choose one category that inspires you most to fall in love with English
• Deliberately create/choose English environment so that you have more chance to be involved with English practice, such as English radio, podcasts, newspaper and novels.
  

Apologise about the errors of format, but I hope you will understand my points. Best wishes

经过大半年的英语教学研究，我需要补充的一点是：中国学生把宝贵的时间和精力浪费在枯燥乏味的语法和结构上面。举个例子:无论你怎样研究语法，当你说英语的时候，你还是不知分辨这4个代词：He, She, Her和His。让我成为你的英语教练，你会发现自己以前学习英语是一件简单而有趣的爱好。请联系：0421519471
