第三、学习英语应该尊重从错误到正确、从简陋到完美的渐进过程
III. English learning should cover the gradual process from wrong to right and from rough to perfect.
很多英语教师持这样一种观念,我认为是错误的。他们认为一开始就要让学生说一口绝对正确的英语,每字每句讲得非常认真仔细,对学生出现的错误是孜孜不倦地加以批评和指正,这种急功近利的态度危害很大。
Many English teachers hold such an idea which is wrong in my view.They require students to speak absolutely correct English at the very beginning, so they explain every word and sentence very carefully, and persevere in criticizing and correcting students’ mistakes. This eagerness for quick success and instant benefit will do great harm.
太在乎结果而轻视过程,这是一种非常普遍的心理。用之于英语学习,我个人认为,老师很轻松地代劳了学生从错误到正确、从简陋到完美的渐进过程,几乎是剥夺了学生从错误自然成长的大好机会。学习的效果大致是这样,暂时效果好,长远效果差,说明学生没有经历一个漫长的由错误到正确的渐进过程,印象不深,很容易遗忘。
It’s very common to care more about the result than about the process. When it comes to English learning, in my opinion, teachers do too much for students in the gradual process from wrong to correct and from rough to perfect, which almost deprives students of good chances for growth from mistakes. It’s natural the temporary effect is good, but the long-term effect is opposite. Students don’t have deep impression on what they’ve learned and forget them easily because they don’t experience a long process from wrong to right.
有句诗是这样讲的:书上得来终觉浅,绝知此事要躬行。学习英语,教师应该给学生犯错误的自由空间,让学生慢慢体会,自觉纠正,这样印象深,效果好。教师千万不能心急,希望快速看到教学效果,这其实是一种非常自私的态度,应该尊重学习语言的客观规律,一步一个脚印地前进,这样才是真正对学生负责的好教师。
A poem says, knowledge from books isn’t enough, only through practice can you really understand it. In English learning, teachers should create free space for students to make mistakes and develop their self-repairs in language with deep impression and good effect. It’s a very selfish attitude that teachers are too eager to see the teaching effect. A good and responsible teacher should respect the objective law of language learning and lead students to advance step by step
