3月18日,沪江网校的荞麦老师以英语为典型,带领大家探索了更深层次的“英语交际思维”。从英语学习者的惯常思维分析到如何理解“语言的本质是一种社会行为”,再到什么才算语言知识与语言行为的完美结合……大家想知道这一次课上讨论了些什么吗?赶紧来听现场实录音频吧!

首先谈的问题是:学习语言和学习语言知识是什么关系。

那么什么是语言行为?

理解语言行为可以从发音开始。

I'm happy to see you.

I'm glad to hear that.

有一个学生到银行兑现支票,和银行的职员经过一番交谈,拿到了钱。请听录音:

Ok. Am I done?

--Yes. That’s 10, 20, 30, 35, 40 dollars.

Thanks a lot. Have a good day.

--You too.Next!

问题是:How was the man paid?

多数同学们的答案是:

40 dolars,cash, bank notes.

但还一下这些信息,多数同学可能没有抓住:

学生拿到的是3张10元,2张5元的票子。

给大家举一个天气预报的例子。

请听录音:

Good morning, listeners. Wrap yourselves up warmly today, because the weather will continue to be cold and frosty, with a chance of fog in low areas. According to national weather reports, the storm which was expected later today, is traveling at fifty miles an hour, and should reach this area around midnight tonight. Strong winds and heavy rains are expected, along with thunder and lightning. There is a chance of flooding, and light ships have been warned of the danger. Temperatures will be below average fort this time of year, with an expected low of forty degrees Fahrenheit.

通过交际型的思维所获得的关键词,除了能回答天气情况,时间、温度等方面的问题外,还能够回答如下问题:

本次预报的时间

Morning

本次预报的类型

广播预报,因为有Listeners

本地区的地貌

地势不平,因为有in low areas—

本预报的层次

Local,因为是According to National

本地位置

港口,因为有flooding,light ships

港口大小

估计较大,因为light ships have been warned of the danger,估计还有大船。

功能就是通过做什么事,达到一个目的。

举例说明:

I’am happy to see you.

带着愉快的语调。

另外一句话:

I hate you!

我恨你。当说恨的时候,你要嘴角向下,咬牙切齿,才能说得好,发音才能准确。

另外有的骂人的话:

What a jerk!

有了传统学习方法的基础之后,更先进的学习是做“减法”的。比如:

My suggestion is that we leave early tomorrow.

Why don’t you go to the library?

列表说明用传统方法提出的问题和交际思维提出的问题,答案有什么不同:
