What is reverse method (I)
1. Reverse rush for success
As mentioned above, many people have repeatedly failed to learn because they are "eager for success. Many people have realized the gap between their English usage and their English level. Naturally, they will come up with ideas and practices for success. In fact, learning English is the same as learning other knowledge. It is a step-by-step process that never knows much about it. It will not work if you do not know much about it. Many people have shown that learning English is easy to slow down. Therefore, after making up your mind to learn English, you should avoid the rush to seek success. In the rush to seek for success, it is inevitable that learning approaches and teaching materials will be changed frequently. Every time the result is changed, there will be an additional record of learning English. The more you learn, the less confident you are. Many people have tried a variety of methods over the past few years (or even more years) in an attempt to achieve quick success in a short period of time (for example, half a year or one year). The result is counterproductive, the result is three to five years (or even ten years ".
The reverse method advocates establishing the idea of long-term hard work (for example, preparing to learn English in two or three years), and emphasizes that we must compete for time in specific implementation,One word, one word, and one sentence.As long as this is done, the result may be another kind of "counterproductive", "Preparing to spend two or three years learning English, and the result will be one year ".
2. Enhancement and Improvement
Basic English knowledge is the foundation for strengthening and improving. It is not ideal to strengthen and improve without basic English knowledge. The reverse method emphasizes that you must learn basic English in a down-to-earth Manner and then improve and strengthen it.
3. Reverse distress
Many people who study English, especially when the English language is difficult to break into, will form a contradictory mentality. On the one hand, I realized the importance of mastering English in today's information world environment and had a strong demand for English learning. However, I felt that English learning was really impossible and I was able to cope with it, the main thing we feel is distress. It is supported by perseverance, and there is absolutely no pleasure. It's really hard to give up, but it's hard to explain its contradictions. UseReverse dictation recording,Where I can't understand it, I can't write it, etc. It's all specific, one by one. After hard work, I understand it, and write it right, the progress made is also specific, one by one clearly recorded on the paper. In the face of such a "transcript", what I feel is no longer a distress, but the joy of continuous achievement. The more efforts you make, the more joy you will feel. Especially when you solve a problem that has plagued you for a long time, you are excited. From the perspective of outsiders, self-learning English requires strong perseverance. In the perspective of learners, it is an inevitable virtuous cycle. Learning English has become a kind of interest and enjoyment, what perseverance does it need to support! Use reverse dictationAnd the places on the tapes that do not understand or can't be writtenNot only are they not the "obstacles" that make them discouraged, but they will become a powerful "magnet" that attracts them to continue learning ". After removing an obstacle, there must beA strong desire to remove the next obstacle. As we keep moving forward, we often learn one or two points late at night without any intention.
The inverse of the specific method:
(1) There is no ready-made tangible books, and there is no teacher explaining each lesson. Instead, there is a learning content based on the invisible sound on the tape, and a recorder and various dictionaries are used as teachers, the five methods of "listening, writing, speaking, memorizing, and thinking" are used simultaneously. You can write a textbook by yourself.
(2) When an employee is studying English, he or she often only learns English books related to his or her major. The inverse rule requirementsAgainst the profession you are familiarAnd consciously dictate English recordings that have little or no relationship with your major. For exampleTechnical staff engaged in science and technology to dictate medicineAnd liberal arts English recording.
When you dictate your familiar professional English, you will consciously and unconsciously understand the meaning of English by reasoning. That is to say, the English itself is not necessarily understood by understanding the content itself. For example, listening to an English recording about how radar works, saying that sound waves are emitted from a bat's mouth. When a barrier encounters an obstacle, the echo is received by the bat's ears. The radar works like this. For a person who already understands radar principlesSeveral keywordsIn this way, I understand the meaning of the entire recording, and I really understand it. But not every sentence can be understood? Not necessarily, and it is likely to be far away. This learning method not only fails to learn real English, but also produces a false sense of satisfaction, believing that your English level is good.
For beginners with low levels of EnglishActive multi-Dictation is irrelevant to your majorEnglish recording.All the words are dictated.At a certain stage, this can greatly improve the ability to find new words in the dictionary based on pronunciation and to understand the content of the article directly from the English itself, the effect is much better than listening to English recordings related to your major.
Learning English content that has nothing to do with your major helps you expand your knowledge and vocabulary. Whether it is reading or oral technical exchanges with foreign countries, the English involved will not be limited to a very narrow scope only related to their own major, it is often necessary to use some other types of vocabulary or other interpretations of a word. Daily conversations involve more knowledge and vocabulary. During daily conversations with foreigners, you will surely realize that "when words are used, there is little hate ". Only in the usual long-term dictation process is not limited to learning only the English knowledge related to your own major, but to broaden the "listening path" to learn English words from all walks of life, only when one word is used to learn and remember is it possible to say what you want to say in your mouth in the context of a conversation.
(3)Tech experts must dictate the recording of liberal arts,Those engaged in liberal arts need to dictate the recording of science and technology. In the process of learning English, we should avoid narrow practical points of view. When learning English, do not always ask whether your major is tightly integrated or not. If not, I think it is of little use and I don't want to learn it. In fact, it is the English text that is not tightly integrated with your major that can improve your skills. This is the benefit of "reverse" learning. In addition, it is impossible to limit the English in use to a very small range.
(4) improve the level of English to a certain extentAfter the exercises are translated from the Chinese translation back to EnglishLanguage. After the English level is improved to a certain extent, you can practice translating some Chinese translations of slow English into English in reverse order. When you dictate these English recordings, you may feel that the articles are easy to understand, and all the words and syntaxes are understandable. However, when you practice Translating Chinese words back to English, you may not know where to start unless you have backed up the text. Or think hard to find the right word and the right syntax, but not out. Or, although translated, I am not satisfied. Then compare it with the original text to see what words and syntaxes it uses, where it gets stuck and cannot be translated. Through this "reverse learning" and comparison, we will certainly have a great deal of GAINS. At the same time, we will feel that slow English is still very learning, and some common words that seem to be very common are still very expressive, the key question is whether they can be mastered and used skillfully.
Inverse Method is a learning method that uses forward as the straight line. At the beginning of reverse learning, due to difficulties, short-term real-time results may be inferior to positive learning ", however, it can receive effects that cannot be achieved by "positive learning.
Reverse Method --"Listening, writing, speaking, memorizing, thinking"
Beginners with low levels of English can listen to English recordings without relying on texts and materials. This is a lot of difficulty and requires five steps: "listening, writing, speaking, memorizing, and thinking, you can understand them one by one. The procedure is as follows:
1,"Listen" and "write"
First, extract the content of a recording fromListen several times at the beginning and endIf you don't understand it, you have to stick your head to it.. First understand the general idea,Separate paragraphs and sentences, and listen again and again in one sentence. It is clear that a sentence is composed of several words. What is the role of each word in a sentence? What are the main words, predicates, and objects?. Every time you listen, write the words you understand one by one on the paper., Arranged into sentences,Words that do not understand are empty first.. For people with low English listening skills, there are too many things they don't understand at the beginning. Sometimes I'm afraid I can't even tell myself how many things I don't understand. In this case, only by writing the words that you understand can you find out how many words you don't understand.
ForNew WordsMust be able to imitate the recordingSound correctlyRead it out and grasp the pronunciation of each syllable accurately. Because only the correctPronunciation captureWhen I read it, I can try to spell out some words in the dictionary based on the syntax and speech knowledge. Because the correct answer often needs to be found multiple times,Write a row, empty two rows", Leaving plenty of room for repeated modifications. To correct incorrect spelling, you need to look up the dictionary and use a color pen to mark new words and wrong spelling when you have a short question.
For listenerWrite notDo not talk about "Words" or "Words" in the words that come out. If you don't know what to say, stop the recorder immediately and stop listening.Continue to dictateTo understand the entire content of the article. This is often the case where a word is called in an isolated manner and cannot be understood.However, if you contact the entire messageWhen you get up and understand it, you will get a wide idea, and you will often know what word class and how to spell it.
Sometimes the same new word appears in multiple parts of the recording. If you cannot hear or understand one word, you can put it first to see if it can be inspired elsewhere. It may be because the recordings elsewhere are clear, or you may have understood them when they are used together with other words. In the process of dictation, you must first "write" words that are not certain, and then perform verification and correction in the process of continuous dictation. When the same news is broadcast by different broadcasters at different times, the tone of each person is different, which helps to understand the pronunciation of some difficult words.
The two steps of "listening" and "writing" are not completely separated. For Beginners with low levels of English, the dictation of a recording cannot be completed at once, instead, it takes many times to "listen" and "write" to promote each other and inspire each other.
Starting from the perspective of learning English, beginners mustWrite while listening. If you do not write only, there may be two situations. First, some words that do not understand are missed, and the opportunity for learning and improvement is lost. Second, if you have words that do not understand, you may still be confused when you listen to more times. However, if you write the content you want to understand on a piece of paper, the content will be associated with each other, and you will listen to it after thinking about it, some other content may be understood, and it will be repeated until it is fully understood.
Words that cannot be inferred from speech due to severe noise interference can be supplemented according to the syntax. Assume that you are the author of the news and what words should be used in the incomprehensible part. The entered words may be incorrect, but they are always better. As the listening time increases and the English level increases, you may find and correct the words.
2,"Say" and "back"
After the entire article is dictatedLearn "say". The method is: Listen to a broadcaster,Learn by yourselfSentence. Use it whenever possibleRepeat a recordThe electronic Recorder of audio content determines the length of time to learn "Say" based on its own level, and tries to "Say" a complete sentence.
Learn "say"The process can be taken in two steps: the first step is"Compared to read ", that isI have learned how to record the voice, compare it with the standard voice on the tape, and see what I have learned differently. I keep repeating it until I can imitate the speech that is generally correct; step 2: "speak" with the sound on the tape ".
After learning to "say", you need to "back" it. Turn the dictation record of a recording over and over, and read it aloud to a certain extent. "Back" plays a major role in improving listening. For example, the slow English news broadcast has a certain format and sentence pattern. After a message is "backed up" for a period of time, it will become familiar with its style and common sentence pattern, it is easier to understand new content. Sometimes you can even broadcast people's voice in advance. After listening to the first few words in a sentence, you can say the following words in advance, or you can say the next sentence in advance after listening to the previous sentence. At this point, the tension during dictation is reduced or basically eliminated. When the mood is relaxed, the level can be used up, and you can understand what you should understand.
3. "Think"
If the previous four learning stages of "listening, writing, speaking, and memorizing" highlight the spirit of "hard work, then, the "think" link is mainly about how to "Work hard" based on "hard work", that is, to be a "caring person" throughout the learning process, and be good at thinking. The content of "think" includes the following three aspects:
First, consider whether the learning progress is appropriate, whether the learned knowledge is solid, and whether the learning requirements proposed in this book have reached the limit. As mentioned above, because the learning progress is self-mastered, the learning progress will be accelerated without knowing it. Because there is no objective assessment, I think I have learned well even if I have not learned much. Therefore, during the entire learning process, especially in the basic stage, you must always warn yourself that "the learning process is slow, slow, and slow", and always check whether the learned knowledge is solid. If not, you will learn again.
The second is to summarize and summarize the experience and lessons learned in learning methods. Just like learning any other knowledge, only people who often sum up and summarize can quickly learn well. Each person is in a different environment and has different difficulties in different stages of learning. Therefore, the experience and lessons learned are different. Therefore, we should summarize and summarize them in a timely manner. The experience and lessons learned by yourself are suitable for your own situation and can be used to guide your learning. The results are particularly good and you can get twice the result with half the effort. Further, the experience and lessons learned by myself may be of reference value to other people. From an isolated perspective, every specific experience and lessons are very small, unsystematic, and of little value. However, when the accumulation is high, quantitative changes may lead to qualitative changes, which may become a systematic, valuable, and innovative method.
The last step is to summarize and summarize the learned English knowledge so as to systematize and deepen the memory. For example, every time you learn a word or some grammar knowledge, you should think about it well and make a good summary over a period of time. One of the main contents of induction and summarization is to analyze all kinds of errors that may occur during the dictation process. Practice has proved that learning by analyzing your own mistakes has a very good effect. For example, if some contents cannot be dictated, some are wrong, and some are understandable but not correctly written, we need to analyze the cause and find a way to avoid it. Take words as an example. If you do not know words in your dictation, the words you try to spell out are not in the dictionary, finally, if you find the real answer through other ways, we need to make a good conclusion about why the words you have tried to spell out are incorrect. Is it true that the speaker's pronunciation is not accurately grasped, or do you have low speech knowledge or special pronunciation. Every time you learn a new word, you should compare it with the words you have mastered in terms of spelling, development, and interpretation to find out the similarities and differences and form a "link memory ". Note the special words in pronunciation and spelling to see if you can find a good way to remember them. The syntax is the same. If you cannot understand or understand it wrong, you need to look at the grammar book to find out what the correct understanding is and why you cannot understand it, or where your understanding is wrong.
