 其實,這門課真實的課名是/Actually, the real tile of this class should be:

 陪老頭學英文/Accompany the Ojisan who is learning English

 Here I use "ojisan" instead of "old man". Because I know that English native speakers are open-mind to accept different cultures, including the term, ojisan from Japan (and been commonly used in Taiwan). 

 
 ----------------------------------

想清楚,學英文的目的是什麼?

Please think it carefully, what is your purpose to learn English?

賺大錢?--不少中文母語的有錢人,是完全不懂英文的。很多英文高手,是苦哈哈窮哈哈。

Earn a lot of money?

 

交友?--這動機很棒

Make friends

 

考試?--這目標明確,但考試的目的,是什麼? 

Take exams?

 

求職?--這目標清楚

Look for jobs?

 

想要順利畢業?--這是不得已的,我懂 

Want to graduate?

First Stage: tools is for accomplishing tasks, not for learning English
第一階段:學工具,不學英文

 認識工具、善用工具,完成任務就好,學英文...晚點再說。不然,多數英文課,就是直接切入聽說讀寫。阿原主張,數位時代要先能分辨這樣的英文訊息重不重要。閱讀上,先用個翻譯軟體,雖然只有五到七成的正確率,看個大概,判定重不重要,就用就好

A.  網頁英文文章:翻譯軟體

B. 生活上的外文圖片、說明書、招牌:google 智慧鏡頭

C.

文章很短,適合練習這樣的目的

Second Stage: English input-reading and listening
第二階段:英文輸入—讀與聽

 閱讀英文及聽英文,是資料的輸入

 

 ----------------------------------------------------------

Third stage: English output-speaking and writing
第三階段:英文輸出—說與寫

要能說出適當的英文,寫出適當的英文,是需要功力,需要把學過的英文,內化成自己的功力。當然,初期可以透過適當工具的協助。

 Listening/聽:

Speaking/說:

Reading/讀:

Writing/寫: besides the spelling function from office, I often use three free tools to correct my writing.  They are LanguageTool-FireFox, Grammly-Firefox, and google office
