20220807-- It is not the right time yet. It does not matter.

The following is my notes for planning the entry level of English courses.

This draft started on 3/22, 2022

2022-05-26 準備申請新課程相關資料

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

歐盟統計：

22% of people in the EU have high blood pressure

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
