Vocabulary is so important, how to break through the vocabulary bottleneck? Is there a shortcut? Professor Cai shared it from the perspectives of arousing strong interest, cultivating good habits and mastering correct methods, pointed out and deeply analyzed four misunderstandings in vocabulary learning, and gave solutions:
Myth 1: Vocabulary has little to do with reading comprehension, because reading comprehension tests comprehension ability and background knowledge.
According to statistics, from the vocabulary of 3000 words to the vocabulary of 10000 words, the understanding rate will increase by about 7 percentage points for every increase of 1000 words. This truth can also be understood with the heel. If there are too many new words in the article, readers will look around like grandma Liu in a dream of red mansions, unable to focus on the main points and facts of the article. Besides, there are too many new words in reading comprehension, which can easily make readers feel depressed and lose interest in reading.
It is suggested that students' vocabulary reaches a certain level to realize reading automation, that is, only a little attention and words need to be allocated when reading, and more attention should be allocated to the ideas or images expressed by words.
Myth 2. Memorize the words step by step, slowly but surely, just 20 words a day.
When can I recite 20 words a day? Obviously, this refueling tactic cannot form combat effectiveness. To be able to read ordinary real books, readers should have a reading vocabulary of not less than 5000. Therefore, we advocate concentrating on memorizing a large number of words quickly, reducing the starting point of vocabulary learning, so that students can be familiar with common reading vocabulary first, and then gradually master it in the following reading.
Professor Cheng, Dean of the School of Foreign Languages of Beijing Normal University, suggested a classic sentence, which inspired me greatly: knowing 50 words is more meaningful than fully mastering 10 words.
Legend has it that whether you can go to the first year of high school depends mainly on your math scores. Can I go to 985 to see English? Can you get into Chinese in North China University? There is some truth in this sentence, which highlights the important position of English subject. Take Jiangsu papermaking as an example (full score 120). If a candidate's English score is lower than 105, his chances of entering 2 1 1 or 985 university will be greatly reduced.
Science men don't have to learn grammar, but they have to recite many words and read many books. With words, you can read; By reading, you can consolidate your vocabulary. This forms a virtuous circle of English learning, and English scores will naturally soar!
Myth 3: Language/vocabulary learning cannot be accelerated.
Analyzing that foreign children speak English better than China college students does not mean that foreign children have higher IQ than China college students.
Conclusion Language has nothing to do with IQ, and language can be accelerated.
Case Xinhuanet, Northeast Education Network and many other media reports: Henan twin pupils/kloc-learned high school vocabulary in 0/2 days, but Baidu "English is not good, you will lose half the world-interview Henan twin pupils to conquer high school vocabulary in 3500 years".
Myth 4. When encountering new words in reading, students can guess the meaning according to the context.
In the past, I often encouraged students to guess words according to the context, and also summarized the skills of guessing the meaning of words for students, but the actual effect was very poor. Later, I didn't understand the truth until I saw a sentence said by the linguist Laufer. Generally speaking, the rate of new words in reading materials should not exceed 5%, because only when learners know more than 95% of the words in the full text can they read more than 60% of the articles and have the opportunity to guess the new words correctly. (Laufer, 200 1). In this article, we can see that memorizing words honestly is the right way.
It is suggested that it is very difficult to guess the meaning of a word and it will affect students' understanding. It is difficult for students to "think while reading, and think while reading". (Suhomlinski)
In a word, vocabulary comes first in English learning. Without vocabulary, no matter how good the learning method is, it is futile. To fully master the spelling and collocation of the core words of 1600-2000, and initially understand the reading words of 3500-5000, we only need to see the significance of cognitive guidance in reading. The larger the reading vocabulary, the higher the reading rate will be. "Three-year Words after Learning the Senior High School Entrance Examination in 32-48 Hours" divides the senior high school entrance examination words of 1600 and the senior high school entrance examination words of 3500 into 16 and 24 classes, and each class is equipped with two passing tests: one focuses on the cognition between Chinese and English, and the other focuses on the spelling application of words. In 32-48 hours, you can learn all the vocabulary of the senior high school entrance examination.
