英語學習的關鍵點 主動訓練比被動學習更有效!

English is not a knowledge set to be memorized; rather it is a skill to be trained.

英語不是一門需要記憶的知識，而是一項需要訓練的技能。

Use of passive learning of separate language components is less efficient than modern active learning of all components concurrently.

被動學習獨立的語言元素，效率要比現代式的對所有語言元素同時進行主動學習低得多。

Let's consider why the common belief about no shortcuts has penetrated the belief system of teachers and educators.

讓我們來思考一下，爲什麼學習沒有捷徑的認知已經深入到教師和教育者的信仰中。

All traditional methods of teaching English consider language as information to be remembered. They dissect the language into individual components and teach reading, writing, pronunciation, speaking, and grammar separately.

所有傳統的英語教學方法都認爲語言是需要記憶的信息。他們將語言分解成各個獨立的元素，並分別進行閱讀、寫作、發音、口語和語法教學。

In this environment of passive learning, a learner needs to spend four or five years of hard work to speak fluently.

在這種被動的學習環境中，學習者需要努力學習四到五年才能流利地交流。

We spend years in school learning a lot of subjects. Schools teach most subjects using textbooks, lectures, notes, memorization, and tests.

我們在學校裏花費很多年學習大量學科。學校教授的大部分課程都依靠教材、講義、筆記、背誦和測試的方法。

The only problem is that language skills cannot be learned in this way, any more than you can learn to play the guitar or drive a car by reading or even memorizing the instruction manuals. That is why after learning English for three-plus years, you are still not able to communicate in it fluently.

唯一的問題是，你可以通過閱讀或者背誦操作指南來學習彈吉他或者開車，但你不能以這種方式學習語言技能。這就是爲什麼在學習英語三年多後，你仍然無法用流利的英語交流。

English is not a knowledge set to be memorized; rather it is a skill to be acquired by practicing under guided instruction or by using mobile application with the new pedagogy of active learning.

英語本身就不是依靠背誦的知識，而是在有指向性的指導下，練習或使用蘊涵新的主動學習法的移動應用，來獲得的一種技能。

The problem is that active learning was invented only recently and is unknown to teachers or educators.

問題是，主動學習法是最近才發明的，老師和教育者們都還不瞭解它。

Google contains only eight references on "active learning of English skills," and they all point to the Language Bridge Technology.

谷歌只收錄了八個關於"主動學習"的條目，而這八條信息都和語言橋技術有關。

According to the Learning Pyramid, we remember about 20% of what we hear.

根據學習金字塔理論，我們能夠記憶大約20%我們聽到的內容。

Speaking more, by itself, will not improve your vocabulary and grammar; actually, it can make things worse.

口語練習本身並不會提高你的詞彙和語法，實際上，它可能會不利於學習。

To acquire language patterns and intuitive grammar - it is not enough to speak because you are just practicing what you already know.

要獲得語言模式和直觀的語法，僅僅靠口語練習是不夠的，因爲你只是在練習你已經知道的內容。

Some teachers think that because their learners spend 80% of class time speaking in English, they use active learning method.

一些教師認爲，由於他們的學習者花費80%的課堂時間在英語口語中，他們就在使用主動學習的方法。

However, in reality, only one person speaks at a time, and the rest of the class passively listens to the peers speaking in broken English.

然而實際上，每次只有一個人在發言，課上的其他人都在被動的聽同學們用斷斷續續的英語發言。

The learning becomes active when each learner spends 80% of class time speaking in English. It seems that we have reached a dead end.

當每一個學習者用80%的課堂時間進行英語口語練習時，學習就變成主動的了。我們看上去已經進入了一個死衚衕。

How on earth could you have all learners to speak all the time? No conventional method allows for that.

到底如何能讓所有學習者都在所有時間裏做口語練習？所有的傳統學習方法都不能做到這一點。

However, the unconventional method called the Language Bridge Technology (LBT) allows exactly this — active training of English skills.

不過，非傳統的方法語言橋技術（LBT）就能達到積極的訓練英語技能。

To learn English effectively, it is not enough to read or listen or write or speak – all those skills should be practiced concurrently while a learner understands the context and is emotionally involved in it.

要有效地學習英語，單獨的閱讀、聽力、寫作和口語練習都是不夠的，這些技能應該在學習者理解背景並全情投入的情況下同時進行練習。

LBT achieves this objective by using android application that introduces speech shadowing of lessons and drills that all learners wearing headsets perform at the same time. This allows the brain to remember language patterns and intuitive grammar, and prepare it for thinking and speaking in English.

語言橋技術可以通過安卓應用實現這一點。該安卓應用在所有佩戴耳機的學習者練習的同時會介紹他們語言中隱藏的經驗和教訓。這使得大腦能夠記住語言模式和直觀語法，併爲大腦準備用英語思考和交流。

Each learner, using the LBT application, speaks 80% of the time in class about familiar situations and concepts they understand. The application provides support in Mandarin when the learner needs it, but the main experience is in English.

每一位使用語言橋技術應用的學習者，會利用課上80%的時間對他們熟悉的情況或理解的概念進行口語練習。這個應用會在學習者需要的時候提供普通話幫助，但主要是使用英語的。
