⚠ 🔠 「為什麼 2030 年臺灣不會成為雙語國家」-史嘉琳教授訪談
重點摘譯:
(若分享時要包含以下中文翻譯,請打開「分享內文」選項)
*聽說能力是任何語言的基礎,但在臺灣大多以升學考試為目標的教與學現場,聽說能力不受重視。
*跳過大量聽英語素材,用邏輯腦學習英語,大多人說出來的英語是自己造句,而不是用母語人士慣用語句,即使「文法正確」,也讓母語人士不易理解。
*若能將目標由「升學」轉為「與使用英語的人們交流」,能增強學習動機,把重點放回聽說的基礎能力。
*建議每堂英文課固定撥出 10 分鐘進行聽力練習,必有成效。
*每週兩三節英文課的時間,對學生來說是不夠的,每天堅持花 15 分鐘進行聽說練習,長期下來會有可觀的進步。
*文法很重要,但目前臺灣的教學考試把重點放在鑽研枝微末節的文法特例。建議把 20% 的精力放在學習文法規則,其餘 80% 提升聽說能力。

如何撰寫令人印象深刻的recommendation letter
[明報專訊] 好多人寫personal essays或獎學金申請信,或替下屬寫reference時,喜歡整篇寫滿形容詞,什麼passionate呀,devoted呀,logically minded之類。其實這類字完全沒有impact,只係撻幾個形容詞,係人都識,有何難度?讀信的人,也是見慣。
要增加文字的感染力,讓人留下深刻印象,不如試下講故事:一些人無你有的小故事、小經驗,以突顯閣下希望market的特點。
最近英國演員Alan Rickman逝世,同演Harry Potter電影的「哈利仔」Daniel Radcliffe在其Google+ account寫了一篇悼文,在網上瘋傳。這篇文用字不深,造句不特別,但令人印象最深的是一兩三件小事,表現出Alan Rickman的特別性格。第一段他講Rickman對後輩如何supportive and encouraging:
He is also one of the loyalest and most supportive people I've ever met in the film industry. He was so encouraging of me both on set and in the years post-Potter. I'm pretty sure he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York. He didn't have to do that.
假如沒有寫he came and saw everything I ever did on stage both in London and New York,而只用形容詞loyal、supportive同encouraging,就沒有原文的impact了。
然後再借別人的remark講Rickman是個有義氣、對朋友很好的人:
I know other people who've been friends with him for much much longer than I have and they all say "if you call Alan, it doesn't matter where in the world he is or how busy he is with what he's doing, he'll get back to you within a day".
同樣,這裡不用形容詞。一句quote已顯明突顯Rickman的性格。這個impact,不論你寫幾多helpful、friendly、kind、encouraging都不能達到。
下一次寫求學信或替人寫reference letter,不妨用心想想要寫什麼qualities,再想有什麼特別的經驗或故事可以講,可能效果更好。

[Word Map 1: Health care]
各位同學是否曾經有想要背單字卻常常忘記的經驗,或是無法在口說或寫作時應用已經背過的單字?
老師幫同學設計的一種新的單字學習方式結合了 collocation、lexical chunks 和 semantic mapping 更有效率地學習單字:
我們可以使用 collocation(e.g. totally convinced, strong accent) 的方式來更有效率地學習單字( http://goo.gl/MHfDzx )。或是我們可以使用 lexical chunks (e.g. by the time, if I were you) 這會幫助你更快地在口說和寫作中產出適當的語言 (http://goo.gl/jswS0E)。更有效率的方式是把所有相關的lexical chunks (詞彙組塊) 歸納在一個主題下,在有上下文的情境下用 semantic map (語義圖) 讓你用一個主題展開一系列的話題的學習。接下來再利用時事英文加深同學們對這一些相關的lexical chunks 的認知來進行討論,進行有意義的學習。
今天,我們將要學習和health care有關的單字。我建議各位可以先讀過下面的字句,用他們造句,在讀過我提供的範文。接著,在自己使用剛剛學會的這些單字撰寫自己的文章。假如同學覺得此單元對自己學習英文有幫助或者想聽到老師錄的音檔 (甚至拍相關的影片) 請在下方留言喔!我會繼續努力提供新的教材給各位學習喔!

這些字可以用主題來組織成這個word map,好處就是可以方便各為同學在需要的時候做聯想。不過單字跟單字的mapping只是第一步。現在我們來看看如何在時事新聞使用這些字。
News English:
The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, known as MERS, is a viral respiratory illness. The most recent outbreak occurred in South Korea with over 150 reported cases and 19 deaths as of June 15th, and over 2300 have been placed under quarantine, making it the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia, its place of origin. Most patients who contracted MERS developed severe acute respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent the MERS infection, but numerous countries are exploring the possibility of developing one. To prevent MERS, doctors have recommended the following: wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds each time, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue in the trash. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Avoid personal contact, such as kissing, or sharing cups or eating utensils, with sick people. Clean and disinfect touched surfaces and objects, such as doorknobs, frequently. Lastly, stay away from crowded places and pay attention to public announcements. Although there is no specific treatment recommended for MERS infection, individuals with MERS can seek medical care to help relieve symptoms. Stay healthy, everyone.
