跟大家分享有道閱讀聯合網易有道詞典、中國日報網最新發布2019《當代國人英語學習調研報告》。

4月23日,第29個世界讀書日,有道閱讀聯合網易有道詞典、中國日報網最新發布2019《當代國人英語學習調研報告》。

8億用戶基數,5000份深度調查,10個現象,5條結論:該報告用大數據展示了許多新穎有趣的觀點,全面揭示當前國民英語學習現狀。報告中指出,在沒有學習壓力的情況下,仍有43.69%用戶堅持學英語。難能可貴的是,近5成用戶英語學習是為了自我提升。然而論及學習方法,職場人士主要選擇看美劇...

在對有道詞典與有道閱讀的8億用戶的英語學習習慣進行調查後,該報告得出如下結論:

The number of users in the workplace is actually about the same as that of students. Professionals account for 43.69% of those who still insist on learning English, even though they have no pressure to learn.

即使沒有來自學業的壓力,43.69%的人在畢業後仍選擇堅持學習英語,這也使職場人群在學習英語總人群中的占比與學生黨齊平。

職場人VS學生黨=不同風格的英語選手

Watching American TV series has become the main way to learn English after finishing their academic career.

在脫離學業壓力後,消遣式學習追美劇成為了職場人士主要的英語學習方式。

就學生黨自身而言,英語學習重心也從高中階段的刷題逐漸轉移到了博士階段的以英語閱讀為主。來看下你是哪一階段的英語學習選手?

It is encouraging that nearly 50%of users learn English for the purpose of improving themselves.

與英語打交道多年,越來越多的人開始翻身做了它的主人,近成用戶學習英語的主要目的是為了提升自我。

那些年你交給英語的小金庫,最終又被它加倍帶回了身邊。

People tend to spend more on English learning if they have a specific goal. If they want to go abroad, they are willing to pay 20,000 yuan for English courses first. Teachers are right about this: People with higher English proficiency are usually paid more at work.

此外,學習目標越明確的人更傾向於在英語上投入較多的金錢,有出國需求的人花費最高,可達2萬元。而誠如老師們一直強調的,英語能力強的的人,薪資也相應地集中更高。

為了學好英語,你也曾用空了無數支中性水筆。除了APP學習成為主流外,刷題與抄寫單詞仍是熱門的英語學習方法。

困擾在很多人內心的終極問題出現了:

「學了這麼多年英語,張口就來的還是Abandon?」「循環了100首英文歌(100部美劇)四級只有420?」

這些問題的答案現在也在這份報告中找到了。報告在第三部分「探討篇」集中指出:不同的學習方式,不同的學習成果。

同時,這份報告還在最後給出了一些來自學術界的重點建議。

當我們談論閱讀時其實是在談論什麼?

Not many Chinese would choose to put English books on their reading list. While reading plays a fundamental role in building up one's speaking and listening skills, it's advisable to develop a habit of English reading.

當下國人對英語閱讀重視程度較低,但閱讀是口語、聽力的重要基礎,要勤於練習、養成英語閱讀習慣。

可謂,書讀百遍其義自見,想學好英語,先讀它個百本百遍。

You can start with original English booksandEnglish news reports that you can read without too much difficulties. Try to get as much information as you can while reading them, and the new words will get to you naturally with that information.

建議從適合自己英語水平的英文原版書籍以及英語新聞資訊入手;閱讀過程中重視信息的獲取,理解性記憶生詞。

Cultivate your own interestin reading, then you will be willing to adhere to and benefit from it.

培養自己的閱讀興趣,才會樂于堅持,並從中獲益。

Abandon就是你背單詞的極限了?

Memorizing words requires constant review : the famous Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curveindicates that if you memorize the words without reviewing, you will forget nearly80% of them after a week.

背單詞需要反覆曝光記憶:著名的艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線表示——如果只背單詞不複習,一周後將遺忘近80%

Comprehensionis much better than rote memorization: it takes 54 times to remember 36 random letter combinations, but remembering the 480 meaningful letter combinations in a poem only takes eight attempts on average.

理解性記憶效果比死記硬背高很多:記住36個無規律字母組合需54次;記住詩歌中有含義的480個字母組合平均只需8次。

聽了100首英文歌卻從沒看懂過歌詞?

Attaching more importance to listening than reading can be a common misconceptionamong Chinese ESL (English as A Second Laguage) learners :

只聽不讀是國人的常見誤區:聽力和閱讀之間密不可分,後者是前者的基礎。

There are highly relevant relations between listening and reading as outstanding reading comprehension skills can lead to a solid foundationof listening capabilities. Extensive reading plus intensive training in listening will greatly help improve listening skills.

大量閱讀的基礎上加強聽力的訓練對聽力的提高有著直接的、重大的影響。

Generally speaking, it is impossible for you to understand what you are listening without enough storage of vocabulary and language points, therefore, these two elements are essential in English learning.

詞彙量和語言知識很重要:沒有一定詞彙量和語言知識,即使聽清了音也不知其意。

Although watching English TV series is a feasible way to improve learning skills, learners should avoid watching subtitlesand focus on the sound and meaning of the words combined with the understanding of the context.

看美劇練聽力是可行的方式,但要注意擋字幕,集中注意力結合場景留意單詞發音和含義。

張口抬手大腦空白是我的英語狀態?

High speaking and writing skills come with massive amount of language input:

想要練好口語和寫作,首先要有大量的輸入:

敲黑板:讀書破萬卷下筆如有神。

While talking about developing language proficiency, College English Syllabus puts reading and listening skills before speaking, writing and translating on purpose, which suggests that your ability to use a language is determined by how much language materials you've taken in.

《大學英語教學大綱》論及各能力的培養時,有意將讀、聽放在說、寫、譯之前,主要說明輸入能力決定你的輸出能力。

A sound basis of language input, together with more practicesin speaking and writing, you'll find your way.

提高輸出基礎後,加之口音練習、寫作技巧、反覆嘗試,才是學習的正確順序。

趴桌子上午休醒來發現被剛發的卷子淹沒了?刷題的正確心態是......

Your exam grades can reflect your English proficiency level. When you've done numerous exercises but can't get higher scores any more, that means you are in the bottleneck stage.

核心的英語水平決定試卷上的表現,當你刷題卻得不到提高時,實際上到達英語水平瓶頸。

Doing exercises is a way of testing yourself instead of improving English proficiency leveland using it as the main learning method.

刷題是考核方式,而不是提高方式,更不是主要學習法。

The real purpose of doing exercises is to help you get familiar with those tests and make sure you can do your best while taking a real one.

刷題的真正作用是提高對考試熟悉度、幫你更好的發揮各方面能力。
