第一篇:英语演讲:一个获奖者的英语学习之路大全
Three mirrors reflect the way I learn English
After I came back from the “21st century-Ericsson cup”7th national English Speaking competition with the award of the “Most promising Speaker”, people kept asking me the same question over and over again.“How did you learn English, especially as a Non-English major?” Actually I believe that a hundred people would have a hundred of ways to learn English well.However, I would like to share my personal experience of English learning with those who have the enthusiasm for improve their English.Since I have set up three mirrors in my prepared speech in hoping that they would guide our young generation on the way to globalization, I would like to maintain three mirrors here to reflect how I learned English.The first mirror, I assume, should reflect a steady foundation.This involves my first few years of English learning, which I consider as the key factor of all my achievements in the years to follow.At that time I entered the middle school attached to Xi’an Jiaoton University, I could only say my ABCs while others in my class could at least communicate in simple English.All the tales about the frightfulness of learning English then popped up in my mind and made me feel scared.Fortunately my first English teacher was very experienced in enlightening her students on English learning.She was a kind woman with a charming smile.But her homework assignments were not easy task: They required us to read after the tape for 20 times and recite the whole text.So it was quite natural that most of my classmates only recited the short essay within a short time and then went to play.But my fear of not being able to say a single word, made me sit down and immerse myself in what the teacher had asked me to do.Before every English class we would have an on duty report to let the students say something according to what they had learned.My first presentation in class was to recite a dialogue.But to my great surprise, my teacher praised me for my pronunciation.I tittered because I had imitated the readers in the tape for at least 20 times until finally I couldn’t find any differences between our pronunciations.And I did not realize that this little prize given by my teacher began to influence my English learning magically.I believe the first three years of English learning guaranteed the possibility of my further achievements because by means of imitation I built a foundation of good pronunciation and by means of reciting I restored the basic element of English language.On the whole, I would like to show my sincere thanks to my first English teachers.Yu Zhiling, who is now still caring for my growth.The second mirror I would like to mention here reflects an effective way of English learning.I still stick to my point of view that different people have different techniques to learn English well.But there are some methods that seem to be obviously ineffective.Let’s first have a look at the four important skills for students to master: reading, writing, listening and speaking.I have placed them in order of difficulty.Reading is the easiest skill.It is also the most widely found English language skill amongst Chinese student, Writing is a more active skill than reading.However it is still a little easier than speaking, as there is plenty of time to choose the right words look in the dictionary for help, and make corrections.Listening is the third most important language skill to learn.It is far more difficult to listen and understand spoken English than to read English in a book or in a letter.Speaking English may be the most difficult of the four language skills.It is an active skill, and requires the student to put words together into sentences without much time to prepare, and with no time for correction, yet it is the most exciting skill to have, as it opens up wonderful channels of communication with people of others cultures and countries.But this is just what we lack.More often than not I found some of the students who get high marks in their exams showed an inability to communicate with people in English.And this enabled me to understand deeper what my first English teacher has always emphasized: listening and speaking keeping ahead;reading and writing following up.I believe this is the rule of learning a language because we learn a certain language to communicate.As we conquered the most difficult parts: listening and speaking, we would easily master the writing and reading skills.Then how can we make it? I have seen lots of diligent students in the early morning reading aloud their English texts without paying any attention to their nearly unacceptable pronunciation.I feel sorry for those students because their hard work deserves a much better English level if they improve their method of learning.I found that my way of learning English that I formed from middle school still works today.By listening to tapes and imitating the speakers one can improve his pronunciation within a short time.By reciting classic essays one can enrich their language as well as enlarge their vocabulary.As a non-English major, I like to set aside a certain period of time for English learning everyday, usually an hour or at least half an hour.I utilize this precious time by listening to tapes and imitating their content and then reciting the short passages I like.To be frank, “Crazy English” has always been my favorite.This is definitely not intended to flatter.Instead of dividing my attention between too many materials, I’d rather concentrate on one particular resource at a time such as CE, not only because of its abundant content and native English, but also because of the benefits it has brought to me through intensive reading, listening and reciting, I believe that studying English by using these intensive methods will help you to get twice the result with half the effort.Last but not least, the third mirror reflects the interest in English learning.Confucius once said, “Knowing it is not as delighting in it.” Nowhere is this more true than on the matter of English learning.My experience in English learning initiated quite passively, but before long my interest in it began to inspire me to continue the process.To testify my English skills and to stir up even greater enthusiasm, I used to participate in various kinds of competitions.When I was preparing for a nation-wide English competition in high school, I got to know the “21st Century Cup” English speaking competition for the first time as I used their scripts as my preparing materials.I envied those contestants in the “21st Century Cup” very much.Their English skills and their quick response made me feel swooning.Although I did not get a good rank in the nation wide competition for high school students, I had begun my wildest dream of participating in the 21st Century Cup.Even after I became an engineering student I still held onto my dream, that it would come true some day.Because I can always find something new to challenge me, and set up those challenges as my goals to achieve, I never find English learning a dull job.I believe I will forever cherish the glorious moment when I was on the stage of the “21st Century-Ericsson Cup” 7th national English speaking competition, and my wonderful memories there without any doubt will add passion to my English learning in the days to come.Since the theme of this year’s competition was “globalization”, we have enjoyed various visions from contestants on thinking of what we young people should do to meet the challenges and the opportunities posed by globalization.But there’s one thing for sure: good English and communication skills are the gateway to the world arena.I hope some of man and woman in China who have conquered English to hold hands together to build up the bridge between China and the rest of the world with the world’s most widely used language!

【“CCTV杯”英语演讲大赛获奖者的学习策略探微】
摘要:本文研究分析了一些优秀语言学习者,某校“CCTV杯”英语演讲大赛获奖者的学习策略,他们都有明确的学习目标,善于使用多种学习策略,对英语教学有所启示,教师应帮助学生培养学习策略。
关键词:演讲获奖者;优秀语言学习者;学习策略
一、引言
“CCTV杯”英语演讲大赛是全国性的英语演讲赛事,要求选手具有较高的演讲水平、综合能力、思辨能力以及文化沟通能力。某校从2006年开始组队参加比赛,先后有7人9次参赛,最好成绩为所在省赛区二等奖。学习策略是指有目的地对整个学习过程进行设计、组织、监控、反馈、选择的活动方式、技能、方法和手段,它以现代认知心理学为理论依据,研究学生的学习思维活动和认识过程。在我国,优秀语言学习者的研究得到了深入的开展,但是对英语演讲获奖者这类优秀语言学习者的研究却不是太多。英语演讲比赛是对学生的英语综合应用能力的一种考察。选手要想在比赛中胜出,不仅需要具有扎实的语言基础,而且必须具备较强的逻辑思维能力、思辨能力以及丰富的知识面,还需要冷静沉着的大赛经验。因此,英语演讲获奖者不同于一般考试高分获得者。对于这些优秀语言学习者的学习策略的调查研究对英语教学具有一定的指导意义。
二、学习策略的分类
1)O'Malley和Chamot(1990)将学习策略分为三类,即元认知策略、认知策略和社会/情感策略。元认知策略指学生的自我学习意识和学习计划,要求学生培养学习监控和评价意识,它是保证学习活动高效的高级执行技能;认知策略指直接运用于具体的语言习得任务的方法和途径;社会/情感策略为学习者提供更多接触语言的机会。2)Oxford(1990)将策略分为两大类,即直接策略和间接策略。直接策略包含记忆策略、认知策略和补偿策略;间接策略包含元认知策略、情感策略和社会策略。3)Cohen(1998)把策略分为语言学习策略和语言使用策略。学习策略的选择对提高学习能力有着决定性的影响,任何运用得当的学习策略都更有可能使学习者获得学习上的成功。越是成功的学习者,使用的学习策略越多。
三、对演讲获奖者的学习策略的分析
通过对问卷调查的分析,演讲获奖者使用最多的学习策略是元认知策略,说明这些获奖者在英语学习过程中具有明确的学习目的,知道如何安排和计划学习,有针对性、灵活、恰当地运用学习策略,并知道如何进行自我监控和自我评估。除了元认知策略外,他们还擅长使用认知策略、补偿策略、社会策略和情感策略。演讲获奖者在学习策略运用等方面具有以下特征:(1)有明确的英语学习目标,制订相应的学习计划;2)注重语音语调,注意模仿;(3)喜欢分析语言结构,寻找语言规律;(4)注意分析自己学习中的进步与不足,探索适合自己的学习方法;(5)注重语言的交际功能,借助手势、表情等进行交流;(6)懂得如何控制情绪、调整学习态度;(7)擅长运用元认知策略,并且善于将它和其他学习策略结合起来使用;(8)在英语学习中能克服焦虑的心理,控制自己的情绪并不断鼓励自己。
四、对英语教学的启示
英语教师不仅是英语知识和技能的传授者,而且也是学习策略的培训者。
(1)让学生充分认识到学习策略训练的重要性。(2)给学生提供充足的有关学习策略的信息。(3)帮助学生确立学习目标,制定学习计划,选择学习策略,让学生学会反思及评价自己的学习策略。(4)在教学中采用“以学生为中心”的模式,让学生成为教学活动的主体,促使学生有意识地关注自身学习的认知过程,有效激发学生的内存学习动机,培养学生的自主学习技能。研究表明,这些优秀语言学习者都具有很强的自学能力,有适合自己的学习策略,会不断进行自我总结、反思,乃至生成新的策略。因此,教师应该在教学中渗透学习策略,帮助学生培养适合自己的学习策略,提高学习效果。参考文献:
