How to Improve Your Spoken English?
Yazar F.J. Noonan diyor ki:
Dürüst olalım ki bir dilde akıcı konuşmanın sihirli bir formülü yoktur (herhangi bir için söylüyor bunu).
Diyelim ki kimisinin matematiği daha iyidir, kimisinin basketbolda yeteneği vardır. Gerçekten "dil yeteneği" olan insanların yabancı dil öğrenimi daha kolaydır.
Motivasyondan bahsediyor ki bence çok önemli bir nokta!
Motivasyon bir çalışma nedenidir. Neden öğrenmek istiyoruz?
Bir anket yapılmış. What best describes your motivation for learning English? çeşitli sayısal bilgiler yer alıyor.
Kimi öğrenenlerin yurtdışında öğrenim görmek, yahut çeşitli İngilizce sınavlarından geçmek, bazı öğrenciler ise bir dil yoluyla o kültürü anlamak vb. farklı motivasyon nedenleri var.
Bir öğrenciye soruyorlar:
“If you learn English but can not speak it fluently,you are like a blind being on the street. You [will] lose many precious opportunities to enjoy the beauty of this world. You are kept inside a dark box. But if you speak [English] well, you will learn about culture, people and life. You feel your life colourful and meaningful. You are not isolated.”Ayrıca kendimize Neden Ben İngilizce Öğrenmek İstiyorum? sorusunu sormamız gerekiyor.
Kimi iş fırsatları, kariyer, seyahat, yeni arkadaşlıkların kapılarını açar..
Listening için bazı web siteleri vermiş. Örneğin; www.esl-lab.com ,
Radyolar, özellikle BBC, ya da Radio, Benim yaptıklarımdan Voa. İngilizce haber dinlemek. learningenglish.voanews.com
TV ve Filmlerden bahsetmiş.
Many students also watch English TV and movies. Sometimes these are better than radio because they contain pictures. Pictures are helpful because they can help make the input more comprehensible. The problem with TV and movies is that they are often long and difficult, so that you may lose concentration and comprehend little of what is said. Perhaps the best way toview TV shows and movies is to view them in short periods.VE STRATEJİLER
Strategies are helpful for comprehending a listening passage. When you arelistening, try the following:Before Listening:1. Look at the title of the passage and any pictures.2. Ask yourself questions: What do you know about this topic? What doyou think this passage will be about? What information do you hopethis passage will tell you?During Listening:1. Focus your attention on what is being said.2. Listen for the main idea.3. Listen for key words and ideas.4. Relate what you hear to what you already know. (Amato,1996, p55)After Listening:1. Ask yourself: a) Did the passage match my guess? b) What did Ilearn from this passage? c) Summarize the main idea of thispassage in 1-2 sentences.2. Write down any new words you feel are important.Do not be afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes are normal.• Realize you will not always be understood. When you are notunderstood, you may use the following strategies:o repeat yourselfo use gestures (hand movements and body language)o say the same thing in a different wayo use exampleso give definitions or synonyms for words• Realize you will not always understand what the other person issaying. When you do not understand, you may use the followingstrategies:o Make guesses about what is being said.o Check these guesses by asking questions.o Check your understanding by restating what you think theperson means. (i.e. Do you mean . . . ?) (Amato 1996)
Tips for Grammar Study• Study grammar to help you understand input.• Study grammar to help you notice grammatical features in input.
