坚持自学英语10年的项目经理因为英语口语不过关,在与外国同事开会时只能做一个倾听者,这是多么痛对的领悟……但在短短6个月的时间内,这位努力的小伙儿不仅重拾对英语的兴趣,更完成了一次在亚太区领导面前的全英文汇报演讲,让我们一起来看看这位小伙儿口中的“学英语的神奇钥匙”吧!
I work for an American company as a project manager. I’d learned English on my own off and on for 10 years after I graduated from university in 2000. Due to the favorite to English, I spent a lot of time to study it in my spare time. But I didn’t get what I had expected. The result was that I still can’t open mouth to speak out. I was always a listener when I took a conference call with our oversea colleagues. You may never feel how embarrassedly I was at that situation. When I almost give up my study, I got to know IMPACT on an unexpected opportunity. It’s the first time I learned about the Five-step method learning English on the IMPACT trial class. After the class I and other three my colleagues didn’t hesitate to join IMPACT.
In IMPACT, I knew Anna, a beautiful, smart and professional teacher. Anna encouraged me to speak out with sentences that I learned in the courseware. After you read it she corrected my mistakes in pronunciation and phrases. She also asked me to make an extended practice on a useful sentence. Although it was just twenty minutes in a class, I really got a lot from it. On last month conference call, I made a presentation of my projects to our boss of Asia Pacific on my own. I would never imagine I can do that before!
After 6 months study, I really got a great improvement on spoken English. I’d have to say IMPACT gives us a magic key which can open a door for you to achieve the goal in a short time. It also changes the way that I learn English. I will continue to follow this method on my journey of learning English. Thanks Anna! Thanks IMPACT!
从这位学员的真实经历,我们不难看出:学习一门新的语言好似如何学习一种乐器。有频率、有效率的练习是其中的关键。对于听说技能,尤其需要流利度。当你听或说时,你几乎没有时间去思考使用一门语言,这时间远远比你阅读文字时的时间短的多。压根没有时间去回想单词或者语法规则。这一系列听说过程,一定是本能发生的。为了培养这种如本能般的能力(潜意识的能力)不借助任何文字,重复性地练习是非常重要的。英耐的五步学习法:泛听——精听——跟读模仿——录音对比——总结活化,正是顺应了这一个自然规律。
