The Importance of English Learning Environment

【Abstract】

English learning is not simply doing papers but we should put English into practice and we should use it in life. Only in this way can we master English rather than getting high points in exams but without ability to use it.

【Key words】

English Environment Speaking Willingness

【Body】

As a student,I have learnt English for more than ten years. Frankly speaking, I can’t communicate with English-speaking foreigners very easily. Not only I but also many other college students in China can’t easily do so.

How about other Chinese people in English-speaking countries?Yao Ming, basketball player in NBA now, entered NBA in 2002 with a translator for helping him communicate with American people. But after about 2 years, Yao “fired” his translator because Yao didn’t need him any more. He could communicate with others in English very easily. Another famous Chinese person Zhang Ziyi, world wide famous movie actress, had hardly learnt English before she started to act in Hollywood. But now she can speak English very well after working and living in USA for several years and successfully finds a rich boyfriend Vivid in America.

How could this happen? Ten-year study in China can’t beat several years’living in USA, an English speaking country. We haven’t got an environment to study English well, especially the spoken-English. Yes, we can’t deny that we can get high points in so many exams if we do enough practice. And many of us can easily pass CET4 even CET6 so that we may get jobs easier. But the certificate given to you is used to prove that you have the ability to use English rather than helping you get a good job while you have the certificate but don’t have the ability.

In China, if you get high points in English exams then you are thought to be good at English. In my opinion, we do not learn English, we just do the papers again and again. When I was in senior school, the beginning two years I was taught by Mr. Lee who studied in America and got a Master’s degree of Education. He had some new methods which were different from other ways most teachers used. I could get my English ability improved by using the special ways, I mean the ability rather than the points I got in exam. Most of my classmates couldn’t get satisfying points in exams even though we liked English we studied hard as Mr. Lee’s methods. While in senior 3, Mr. Lee was replaced by an experienced teacher who had taught English for almost 20 years. Yeah, it’s “effectively”, our class’s English points got improved gradually, but just points.

I have some friends and classmates who study abroad. Most of them went to study after National College Entrance Examination in China. After studying about 2 years abroad, some of them can easily communicate with English-speaking foreigners. Others’ English ability is much better than that when they were in China. At least they now dare to speak with foreigners initiatively and they have much more opportunities to listen, to think and to speak while it is

almost a luxury in China. I don’t mean that we all should go abroad to study English. What I want to say is that the English learning environment is very important to us. Yes, there are some places and chances for us to practice our spoken English. For example, you can go to Starbucks, there are always some foreigners whom you can speak to if it is convenient to them. And there is an English corner near Jin Jiang Hotel at every Tuesday and every Thursday night. At most schools, there is also an English corner in Thursday afternoon or at Thursday night. But it is really not enough for us. And our surroundings are almost related to Chinese things. We can’t see, can’t listen, can’t think about, can’t write and can’t speak English all day long. Even we do some, we just translate Chinese into English at most.

Someone says, if you want to study a foreign language you should forget your mother language first. There are many differences between two languages. While we think in Chinese way so that the English we write down or speak out is not local. And there are many special phrases you can’t simply get the right meaning from the surface translation. Here are some examples, “white elephant” means something useless, “rain cats and dogs” means a downpour or a rainstorm, “black sheep”means a person wastes money getting from his or her parents, “a piece of cake”means something can be done easily. How can we get in touch with local English? First, we should say “Thanks” to the internet. Now we can surf the internet to browse the local English web sites like https://www.360docs.net/doc/833612551.html,, https://www.360docs.net/doc/833612551.html,, https://www.360docs.net/doc/833612551.html, and so on. There are so many local English articles you can read on the web pages. You can also download some English audios and videos from the internet. We must put us into an English environment if we want to learn English well, not just get high points. English is tool, we use it to get more advanced and useful information which we can’t receive easily without English. Some news, knowledge and current affairs we get in China are simply translated from English. If we know English we can get them directly rather than waiting for Chinese ones.

English learning environment is important but it doesn’t mean everything. If you don’t have the willingness to learn English, the good environment means nothing to you. Ding Jun hui, 24-year old and now a snooker world champion, began attending matches in Britain when he was a boy. After competing and living in Britain for many years although not living there all the time Ding doesn’t master English because he is not willing to communicate with others. I have watched a TV advertisement, there is an announcement in it, “You can get it if you really want!” Yeah, you can get it, but you can’t without having the willingness.

English learning environment and willingness are both necessary while studying English.

成绩 Root and Affixation of Lexicology Abstract: It’s important and permanent to master the vocabulary in the English learning. Everyone who has ever set foot on English realizes that it’s somewhat incredible for us to reciting numerous and difficult words. Nevertheless, there are some skills we should acquire to make word-recitation easier and more effective. This paper mainly discusses the using of vocabulary root and affix. Only by having a good knowledge of the roots and affixes, can we prosper our English vocabulary and further our English study. Key words: root; affixation; detailed analysis; difficult words 1Introduction: Blindly reciting numerous and difficult words is a total waste of time and energy. Especially, situation becomes worse for the college students with little words storage and non-interest. However, most of the English words are comprised with roots and affixes, which are limited, stable and short. If we acquire them, it will be much simpler and rapider for us to recognize the unfamiliar and difficult words through the analysis on roots and affixes. If we can master and know how to use them properly, it will be a big step for the further study of this foreign language. A road of a thousand miles begins with each single step, so does the English words. Now we are going to learn the root and affixation respectively. Definition is the basic form of a word which cannot be further analyzed without total loss of identity and it carries the main component of meaning in a word. By learning the roots, we will find it not complicated for us to understand the long and difficult words which we often encounter in the tough reading test. However long and tough the word is, we can divide it into several parts, the fundamental part is the root and then we can understand what it means and fluently blurt it out without repeating it. Here are some detail analyses of the examples: Internationalist: nation is the root which means country or state, inter- is prefix meaning between or interactive, -al is the suffix and the –ist is the suffix meaning the person. So you will quite simply find its meaning. Invigorate: the root is vigor similar to power and energy, in- means making sth have the function of verb, here is make sth vigor, -ate is the verb suffix. So invigorate is to make sth vigorous. Antecedent: -ced- is the root referring to motion or going forward, ante- is before, and –ent means somebody. So antecedent is somebody who moves ahead of us, the same as forefather or ancestor. Protract: -tract is the root like pulling sth or extending sth make it wider or longer, pro- is the prefix meaning “ahead”. After analyzing this word, we know that “protract” is similar to prolong meaning make sth longer or longer to live. A lot of words contain this root, such as detract, extract, subtract, attract, tractable, intractable, etc. Arbitrariness: arbitrary is the root indicating to randomness or out of order, -ness is the noun suffix. The profound meaning of learning roots is that you will find it much easy to memorize words because there are so many word share the same root. No matter how long and hoe difficult the word is, the basic meaning of the word is stable and unchangeable. If we recite words according the

浅析英语词汇巧记法 摘要:词汇是英语学习的基础,没有足够的词汇量就不可能高水平的掌握英语这门外语,而浩瀚的词汇海洋让很多人望而生畏。尽管花费了大量时间精力去背,记忆的效果却差强人意,原因就在于没有使用科学的方法记忆词汇。其实,世间万物都是有规律性的,英语单词的组词与构词方法也有规律,了解了它的规律有利于我们有效甚至高效学习英语单词。为了提高单词记忆的效率,本文从不同方面介绍几种记忆方法。 关键词:词汇科学记忆规律效率 一.读音记忆法 1.拼读法 英语是拼音文字,英语中的单词的读音大多是有规律的,熟悉字母及字母组合的发音规则,掌握正确的拼法与读音之间的关系,可以根据单词的读音,降低记忆难度,正确地拼写单词。 例如ay读[ei]。带有ay字母组合的词,如say,day,way,pay,may,play,spray,不仅发音容易,而且拼写也没有任何困难。Sh ch tion ture 等也都有固定读音,ee发音为i: culture 文化pasture牧场mature 成熟的architecture 建筑学带有true的单词也都能很方便的记忆下来

2.谐音法 尽管有些人认为用这种谐音记忆法记忆单词不科学,不利于正确掌握发音,但实践证明,对尚未掌握外语的构词特点和记词规律的初学者来说,采用谐音法记单词确实能有效地记住一部分难记的单词。但是,在用谐音法记单词时需要特别注意,绝不可将其作为模仿发音的依据,只能作为记忆单词时的谐音联想手段,以加强记忆,而必须按照单词的标准发音去读记,以避免这种记词法干扰正确发音。用谐音法记单词是,根据外语单词的读音到中文中寻找与其读音相似的谐音,寻找到谐音与单词的联系。用这种方法甚至可能达到终身不忘,这也正是谐音记忆法的绝妙之处。 例如:mouth嘴[联想:说话“冒失”的就是嘴] think想[联想:想时要“深刻”] 二.联想法 1.拆分联想 科学研究表明:联想是记忆的基础。世界著名的生理学家巴甫洛夫指出:"记忆要依靠联想,而联想则是新旧知识建立联系的产物。”联想法是联想记忆的进一步运用和发展。它是指学习者展开积极丰富的想象力,使所要记忆的知识生动、形象化,通过联想在新旧知识(如英语熟词词义与生词词义)之间建立起一种联系,从而达到以旧带新、快速记忆的目的。

英语词汇学论文(浅谈英语词汇的发展)

英语是当今国际性最强的语言。对学习英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对英语知识的掌握会是一个很大的促进。英语是当今国际性最强的语言。在全世界用得最广的10种语言中,英语居首,虽然说汉语的人数占世界首位,但说英语的人在世界上分布最广。对学英语的人来说,简单了解一下英语词汇的发展过程,对学习英语不仅是一个很大的促进,而且随着英语在我国经济、商业各部门的地位Et趋重要,对英语词汇的发展有个大概的了解,会为较快地扩大词汇量,掌握更多的英语知识铺平道路。一种民族语言及其词汇的发展与民族的历史密切相关。要了解英语词汇的发展史,不可避免地跟整个英语的发展史,及至英国的历史是密不可分的。不列颠群岛的最早居民是克尔特人。公元前55年,罗马人在凯撒大帝的率领下入侵不列颠群岛,克尔特人被赶入威尔士和苏格兰的深山之中。这一时期,在英国历史上称为罗马占领时期。直到公元410年,罗马占领时期才告结束。随后,来自德国北部平原的三个13耳曼部落盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人开始来到不列颠定居,英语就是盎格鲁——撒克逊人的语言。语言史家一般把英语的历史分为三个时期:古英语时期;中古英语时期;现代英语时期。一、古英语时期:又称盎格鲁——撒克逊时期。13耳曼部落在不列颠定居以后,各自占领了一地区。盎格鲁人占领了泰晤士河以北的英格兰大部地区和苏格兰的低地;撤克逊人占领了泰晤士河以南的大部分地区;朱特人占领了肯特郡一带地区。由于全国长期没有统一,所以,古英语时期存在着多种方言,其中撒克逊语曾一度占主导地位,在英语形成过程中起了重要作用。古英语的词汇有着浓厚的13耳曼语族的特点,这主要表现为复合法是重要的构词方法,复合词在古英语词汇中占有显著地位。据统计,在英语史诗《贝奥伍夫》的3000行诗句中,竞有1069个复合词,像fifteen,Sunday,Monday等都在其中。古英语时期有两个重要历史事件给英语词汇带来较大影响。第一件事是基督教传人英国。公元597年,一个名叫奥古斯丁的牧师从罗马来英国传教,罗马文化随着基督教传人英国。与此同时,一批拉丁词汇进入英语,像表示家庭用具的词如kettle,cup;表示植物名称的词有pear,beet;以及street,wall,wine等。此外,还有大批与宗教有关的拉丁词汇进入英语,像creed,pope,priest,gospel等。第二件事是北欧人人侵英国。从公元790年开始,大量斯堪的纳维亚人在英国定居,丹麦国王卡纽特还一度成为英国的君主。斯堪的纳维亚人和英国人交往频繁,很多斯堪的纳维亚词汇进入英语。这表现在:1、英语中的一些常用代词(they,them,their,both,same等)都来自斯堪的纳维亚语。2、与普通百姓的13常生活有关的很多词汇来自斯堪的纳维亚语。如:名词有anger,egg,fellow,gate,husband等;形容词有happy,ill,weak,wrong等;动词有call,get,give,lift,raise等。这些斯堪的纳维亚词汇至今仍在英语中广泛使用。二、中古英语时期:公元1066年,诺曼人在威廉率领下,横渡英吉利海峡,在哈斯丁战役中击溃了盎格鲁撒克逊军队。英王哈罗德战死,英国被征服,这在历史上称为诺曼征服。诺曼征服对英语的发展有巨大的影响。早在诺曼征服以前,法语词汇就开始进入英语。英法两国隔海相望,历史上两国交往频繁,在古代和中世纪,两国的王室、贵族通婚时有发生。以诺曼征服为起点的中古英语时期,约有10000多法语词汇进入英语,其中75%流传至今并仍在使用。诺曼征服以后,英国结束了分裂状态,置于中央集权的封建制度统治之下。诺曼人占据了教会和政府的一切重要职务。以后的二、三百年间,诺曼法语成为英国的官方语言,普通人仍然说英语,但英语的文字记载几乎中断。直到1204年以后,英语才逐渐恢复主导地位。15世纪,伦敦标准方言兴起。这一时期,英语词汇的变化相当显著,由于诺曼法语度是英国统治阶级的语言,大批法语词汇涌入英语,这在政治、宗教、法律、军事、社交、服饰、饮食——凡是与统治阶级有关的一切领域都有反映。法语词成为这些领域所用词语的主体。据说,一个受过相当教育的英国人,即使没

英语词汇学的论文怎 么写

英语词汇学的论文怎么写? 英语词汇学习 在英语词汇学习过程中,学习者要遵循第二语言习得的规律,掌握并灵活运用多种词汇学习策略。可分为词汇表策略、语境策略、精加工策略、语义场策略。 一.词汇表策略(Word list strategy ) 词汇表策略一般为:一列是按字母顺序排列的英语单词,另一列是这些单词的汉语意思(等值词、同义词或近义词)。有些学者认为,通过词汇表策略能够迅速且有效地学会大量的词汇。然而,Gaims 和 Redman 却指出,通过词汇表记忆词汇会阻碍对所记词汇进行充分地处理和系统地组织,因此就失去了有效的长时记忆的基础。语言大师桂诗春教授也认为,词汇表策略既费时又费力,徒劳无功,因为这种做法不仅把外语的词语和母语的词语等同起来,而且把它从语言和语境中孤立出来。 二.语境策略( Context strategy ) 语境策略就是学习者通过上下文语言环境所提供的信息对出现在语境中的生词进行猜测,从而习得这个单词。语境策略是目前比较流行的词汇学习策略之一,它不仅仅可以扩大词汇量,而且可以让学生了解有关目的语的文化知识。但是,Channell ( Carter &McCarthy ,1988:89 ) 认为,音节认知和重音认知对学习者理解词汇起着非常重要的作用。为了更好地理解词汇,学习新单词的方法应使学习者准确地内化和吸收新单词:即学会单个音标的发音、了解音节数、掌握重音位置。从这一方面来看,运用语境策略学习词汇不能算是一个很好的方法。 三.精加工策略( Elaborative strategy )

精加工策略是指通过对学习材料进行深入细致的分析、加工,理解其内在的深层意义并促进记忆的一种策略。皮连生(1998)在《学与教的心理学》一书中也曾提到:“精细加工策略”(同“精加工策略”)指对学习材料作精细的加工活动,即通过在要记忆的材料上增加相关的信息来达到对新的材料记忆的学习方法。如对材料补充细节、举出例子、作出推论或使之与其它观念形成联想等,旨在为知识的检索提取提供新的途径,为知识的构建提供额外的信息。精加工策略的关键是将学习者头脑中已有的经验与要学习的词汇联系起来,充分利用已有的经验对要学习的词进行深水平的加工,使其合理化、富有意义,进而达到理解、记忆的目的。学习者已经掌握的熟悉的母语知识或外语知识、头脑中生动鲜明的形象以及其他多种相关的知识经验等都可以作为已有的经验加以利用。 最常用的精加工策略是联想。联想又可以分为:词缀联想、对比联想、关系联想、接近联想、相似联想等。心理学认为,联想反映了客观事物之间的联系。它在促进人的记忆、想象、思维等心理活动中占有重要的地位。在运用联想学习词汇时,通过串联归类,纵横联系,辨析分解,在脑际建立相互依存的知识结构,从而战胜遗忘,增强记忆。例如:词缀联想。在学习词缀 -tion时,学习者可以联想-tion构成的词汇:corporation , administration , competition , congratulation , description 等。通过词缀联想,学习者可以学一个会一串,迅速地扩大词汇量。Krashen 在“输入假设”( input hypothesis ) 中也提到:只有接受可理解性输入( comprehensible input ),语言习得才会产生。精加工策略,可以建立形象与词汇之间的联系,使抽象的材料具体化,使学习者要记忆的目标词转化为可理解性输入,这一信息加工过程遵循了 Krashen 的“输入假设”,是一种行之有效的英语词汇学习策略。 四.语义场策略( Semantic field strategy ) 语义场理论是德国学者 J.Tries (引自伍谦光,1995:94)最先提出来的。这个理论的核心就是探讨词所表达的类概念与词表达的种概念之间的关系。根据这

《英语词汇学教程》论文(中文版)

英语词汇学论文(中文版) 单词记忆法细谈 一,读音规则记忆法 它就是按照元音字母、元音字母组合、辅音字母及辅音字母组合在开音节和闭音节的读音规律记忆。例如:ea,ee,er,ir,ur,or分别能发[i:][:][:]等。还有些固定的字母组合,例如:ing发[i],ly发[li],ty发[ti]和各种前缀、后缀,例如:a-,re-,un-,dis-,im-;-ed,-ing,-ly,-er,-or,-ful,-y等都有其比较固定的发音。掌握了这些规则,记单 词时就不必一个字母一个字母地记忆了。 二.字母变化记忆法 英语单词中以某个单词为基础,加、减、换、调一个字母就成了另一个新单词。具体方法 如下: 1.前面加字母。例如:is/his,ear/near/hear,read/bread 2.后面加字母。例如:hear/heart,you/your,plane/planet 3.中间加字母。例如:though/through,tree/three,for/four 4.减字母。例如:she/he,close/lose,star/tstar 5.换字母。例如:book/look/cook,cake/lake/wake/make/take 6.调字母(即改变字母顺序)。例如:blow/bowl,sing/sign, from/form 三.联想记忆法

在日常生活中可以根据所处的环境,所见到、所摸到的事物,联想相关的英语单词。例如: 打球时联想到:ball,(play)basketball,(play)football,(play)volleyball,playground等等;吃饭时联想到:dining-room,(have)breakfast,(have)lunch,(have)supper等等;睡觉 时联想到:bed,bedroom,gotobed,sleep,gotosleep,fallasleep等等。如果长期坚持下支,效果就会很好。 四.归类记忆法 众所周知,单词本身、单词与单词之间都存在着或多或少的联系,英语词汇中 有许多单词有着其近义词、反义词、一词多义、一词多音、同音词或形音形似词等内 在或外在的联系。因此,记忆单词的主要方法是把单词之间存在的这种联系挖掘归纳 出来,通过对比、对照的方式把学过的单词从各个方面进行归类 1.按词的构造归类 按词跟、前缀、后缀、合成词归类,找出词与词最本质 的联系。这种联系不仅使新词记得快、记得牢、记得久,而 且也同时复习了大量的旧词。合成词,如: schoolbag,school-boy,classroom,football,blackboard,etc. 前缀后缀词,如:unhappy,unhealthy,unfriendly,unlucky,worker,writer,visitor,us

Lexical motivation and implications for language learning and teaching Introduction Most English words are conventional, arbitrary symbols. There is no connection between the word form and its meaning. Some English words are motivated symbols. What is motivation? Motivation means relation between the form of the word and the original fact or reality. More specifically, if there is a relationship between phonic (sound) form of a word/lexeme and an object/fact of extra-lingual reality, or between a new word and the original word, we speak of motivated words. There are four principal types of motivation: Onomatopoeic motivated, syntactically motivated, semantically motivated and etymologically motivated. 1)Onomatopoeic motivation means defining the principle of motivation by sound. The sounds of such words as cuckoo, ding-dong, swish, buzz, seem to be appropriate to their senses. Some of these onomatopoeic terms have certain elements in common. For Example, the sounds / sn / may express three types of experiences: "breath-noise (sniff, snuff, snore, snort), "quick separation or movement" (snip, snap, snatch), and "creeping" (snake, snail, sneak, snoop). Another interesting feature of onomatopoeic patterns is that they often work by vowel alternation. By substituting one vowel for another one can express different noises: snip - snap, sniff - snuff, flip - flap - flop. It should be noted that many onomatopoeic forms are based on alternations of not vowels but of initial consonants: higgledy-piggledy, helter-skelter, namby-pamby, roly-poly, etc. 2)Syntactic motivation means that by analyzing the formation of the word, one can gain the meaning of it. Apparently, words which have syntactic motivation are almost derivative or compound words. So, syntactic motivation, namely, the syntactic relations between the two bases of compounds, account for a large part of self-explaining compounds. A possible sub classification of compound nouns could be made by the part of speech of each base. 'Daydreaming' and 'sightseeing' are compound nouns from 'N+V-ing'. And others such as teacher, worker, leader, and singer, etc --- these derivative words are not non-motivation. They all consist of a verb and –er. These words mean people who do these actions. And from the affix of the derivation words, we can often infer their meaning. Take collapse for example. It is made up of col (which means doing things together) and lapse (which means falling down), so the word means falling down together. And then we can imagine it into subside or cave in. But we can not take this regulation for granted. Eggplant has no egg in side; pineapple has neither pine nor apple; and there’s no ham in hamburger at all. Some abrogative words have allegoric significance, so their motivation is unobvious. For example, night-cap means the wine drunk before sleep instead of the cap used for sleep. 3)Semantic motivation means that motivation is based on semantic factors. It is a kind of mental association. When we speak of the bonnet or the hood of a car, of a coat of paint, or of potatoes cooked in their jackets, these expressions are
