說不出來的東西，永遠不會是自己的東西

近來有學生家長向我咨詢說: Tiger老師，你的融解英語學習法十分強調口語能力，但現在孩子的升學考試中并不考口語，我覺得要出成績，還得攻詞匯，攻語法。

沒錯，為了考試成績，應試教育早已把 “背單詞、啃語法、狂刷題”，搞成了英語學習的一種常態。人們不僅習慣于這種狀態，而且還研發出了一系列與之相應的學習方法。為了減輕一點死記硬背單詞的痛苦，發明了各式各樣的所謂高效記憶法；對于掌握語法，編制了海量的習題讓學生埋頭苦刷；再不行就到補習班強化補課。

盡管考試是升學的唯一手段，這一點我們現在暫時還無法抗拒。但也不應該忘記我們學習英語的真正目的是要真正掌握這門外語，也就是說要真正學好會用這門外語。一個學生現在的成績再優秀，如果口語能力沒有達到相應的水平，我可以肯定地說他并沒有真正學好英語，他的英語考試成績只是通過應試策略而獲得的一個分數。原因很簡單，對語言來講，你能說出來的才是你所掌握的，你不能說出來的東西，永遠不會是你自己的東西。這就是我為什么要強調口語能力的原因所在。

融解英語學習法強調口語能力并不是弱化詞匯和語法的學習，相反我知道只有通過學生的口語能力的提升才能真正掌握詞匯和語法。融解英語學習法的全名是這樣的——融解英語口語自我生成學習法。這是一套把詞匯和語法、閱讀和聽力等系列學習要素融會到學習者為本的口語體系中，逐步培養出學習者的自我激發式口語生成能力，并通過學習者自我口語的生成過程來深入掌握并內化英語詞匯和語法的學習方法。

這么說起來有些抽象，下面我仍以經典教材《新概念英語》第二冊第一課為例，來具體說明融解英語學習法是怎樣激發學習者的口語自我生成過程，從而深入掌握詞匯和語法的學習方法。

Lesson 1   A private conversation 私人談話

Part 1   Listen and Read

Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. 'I can't hear a word!' I said angrily. ‘It's none of your business,' the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!'

Part 2   Melting Words in Our Minds

1 theatre – thea-tre: What is a theatre? A building, yes, it is a building. It's a building with a stage. Actors play on the stage and people watch plays in a theatre.

2 seat: A seat is like a chair, but not a chair, because we can take a chair anywhere if we like it. But we can't move a seat. A seat is just there for you to sit there.

3. enjoy – en-joy: to enjoy something, you are pleased in something or doing something; to enjoy yourself, you have have fun, you have a good time for example, we enjoy ourselves in the theatre.

4. loudly – loud-ly: A sound can be low. A sound can be high or loud. So you can speak loudly – in a loud way. In the text, the writer was angry, so he looked at the man and the woman angrily – in an angry way.

5 attention – at-ten-tion: Please give me your attention. So you look at me and listen to me. Do you understand the word – attention? If not, pay your attention to me. I'll tell you again. You listen to me and look at me. You give your attention to me.

6 rudely – rude-ly: People are not polite. They are rude, because they do something bad, or they do things rudely – in a bad way.

7. conversation – con-ver-sa-tion: You have a talk with people, so you have a conversation with them. Ok, I'd like to have a conversation with you about our lessons.

Part 3   Melting Grammar in Our Mouths

Last week i went to the theatre. Did I go to the theatre last week? Yes, I did. Where did I go last week? I went to the theatre last week. When did I go to the theatre? I went to the theatre last week. I had a very good seat. Did I have a very good seat? Yes, i did. What did I have? I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. Was the play interesting? Yes, it was. How was the play? The play was interesting. I didn't enjoy it. Did I enjoy it? No, I didn't. What didn't I enjoy? I didn't enjoy the play.

我們就這樣， 通過口語表達的方式反復進行了一般過去時態的句型變換訓練。學生說著說著，語法就上了口。我們接著再走一段：

A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. Who were sitiing behind me? A man and a woman. Who were they sitting behind? Me, yes, me, behind me. They were talking loudly. What were they doing? They were tolking loudly. I said they were sitting and talking behind me, not sit and talked. Why? Because I was sitting in front of them and the actors were playing on the stage at that moment.

同樣我們就是通過這樣的口語生成方式，讓學生自然地區分出一般現在時態sit（不規則動詞）和talked與過去進行時態were sitting和were talking的用法差別，同時讓這樣的語法差別融解在學生的口語表達之中。

   我想我應該把融解英語口語自我生成學習法，講清楚了吧。好的，謝謝你們，See you!
