联系自身学用新词,使用英英词典
词汇观
误区:以词汇量衡量英语水平。
Q1: 什么样的单词值得学习?
passive vocabulary 消极词汇--认得但不会用;active vocabulary 积极词汇--会用
小目标:熟练掌握3000-6000积极词汇
A1: 高频、地道、好用的小词
提高英语水平的关键:把消极词汇转化为积极词汇 (Knowing a word is one thing, but knowing how to use it is quite another. )
Q2:值得学习的单词应该怎么学? A2: 1 养成使用英英词典,英汉双解词典的习惯(目的:深入了解单词,从释义、搭配到使用的范畴等,体会语言的微妙性,阅读英文例句来加深认识) 2 把新单词与个人相关联以激活该词(自己会在何种情况下会用到这个词,与谁说话会用上,与自己的工作、生活的关联,自己身边的事情哪里可以用到)
理想的单词学习的四个认知阶段:1 认识 2 原来是这个用法啊 3 试着使用 4自己会用了
