成功的英语四级学习者走过的路都一样

　We learn by encouragement  and not by criticism.

　　我们是通过鼓励，而不是批评学习的!

　　很多的人都以为，我(疯狂英语)和学院派是誓不两立的。

　　在过去的近20年当中，大家可能有这样一个印象，经常会有教授跳出来骂我，因为我抢了学院派的风头，夺了学院派的面子，得罪了学院派的教授。其实不然，真正有水平的“大教授”、“名教授”是非常欣赏疯狂英语的。他们通常会说：年轻人，加油!你说出了我们想说而没有说的东西!你是一个勇敢的人!而跳出来骂疯狂英语的教授多半是一生不得志的，或是品行、心胸不过关的人。

　　无论是疯狂英语，还是学院派英语，大家强调的都是“勤学苦练”。唯一的区别就是：疯狂英语非常强调脱口而出，特别注重发音训练，非常反感选择题，教学。话可能说得有点不谦虚，有点太刺激，导致一些人听了不舒服。

　　今天，我偶然看到了我非常崇拜的一位教授谈英语学习的文章，特别转载给大家。

　　杨澜的外语为什么这么好? 何振梁为什么可以掌握多国语言? 李阳的疯狂英语魅力何在?

　　北外胡文仲教授(一个品德高尚、心胸宽广的教授)通过跟你情，告诉你一些learning strategies。

　　Be a thinking learner

　　Be a thinking learner. Find strategies suitable for yourself.

　　Constantly reflect on your study and sum up your experience. Improve

　　your strategies. Now from the story that we have heard, that we have

　　related, we can see that good language learners often think a lot

　　while they are learning. They try out different strategies and then

　　they try to find out if it works for them or not. Which one works

　　for them, and which one doesn’t. And then they decide on the one

　　that works best.

　　大师强调，我们要做一个学英语的“有心人”。我们应该在学习过程中不断尝试各种方法，并摸索出最适合自己的一套方法。

　　Beiwai's past experience

　　Beiwai has got a lot of experience in training students to learn

　　English well and to communicate. When I was a student here, we used

　　to organise a lot of oral activities. We used to keep a piece of

　　paper in the pocket. And then everybody has a card in the pocket. If

　　you happened to speak Chinese, then I'll write it down. So you'll

　　lose a point. And if you speak English, you'll gain a point. So a

　　few of my fellow students who were very shy and didn't want to speak

　　would try to get away from people so that they would not speak

　　Chinese (English?). And in class there're often speaking pairs and

　　also small group activities. Reading aloud contests are often

　　organized. And then there's an English evening at the end of each

　　term. As you know, there're are still English evenings organized,

　　but not as often as before. By the way, YangLan used be a hostess of

　　English evenings organized here. So probably YangLan learned her

　　first experience on the stage from hosting the English evenings

　　here. Field work, and also summing up learning methods and exchange

　　experiences.
