小一學英語 學者：學生更痛苦
【大紀元2011年04月20日訊】(大紀元記者江禹嬋台北報導) 教育部希望未來將國小英語教育，從目前的小三向下延伸到小一，教育部長吳清基表示，目前師資培育、課程規劃還需要有完整配套，將在黃金十年內延伸到小一。不過學者認為，這只會增加學生痛苦和家長的競爭焦慮感，根本是政策錯誤。前國小英語教育從小三開始實施，不過部分縣市已經先行延伸到小一，教育部國際文教處長林文通表示，小一開始教英語是勢在必行。吳清基說，提早兩年學習會提升學生英文興趣能力，希望將在十年內推動。

習慣用語重要嗎?I will also say that 「美国习惯用语」第一讲 ,像 每曰一字(句)學英文 不很有用.
習慣用語重要嗎?To write clearly, you do not need to use idioms, unless you know them well.
The entirety; all of something. For example, Jean moved out of the house, lock, stock, and barrel. This expression alludes to the three elements of a firearm--the lock or firing mechanism, the stock or handle, and the barrel or tube. [Early 1800s]
「美国习惯用语」第一讲
give me a handfoot the billblow outlock, stock and barrelhook, line and sinker
每一种语言都有它独特的成语和俗语。而学习外语的人经常在理解这些习惯用语时会感到很困难。这是因为你不可能从组成某个习惯用语的字面上来懂得它的意思。 比如,美国人经常说:“Give me a hand.” 按照字面来理解, “give me hand”就是“给我一只手。”可是,它的意思却是“帮我一下忙。”
另外一个例子是: “Foot the bill.”
“Foot”的意思是 “一只脚”,而“bill”在这儿的解释是“账单”。“Foot the bill.”并不是把帐单踩在脚底下,而是付账的意思。
另外,有的时候,一个词汇有好几种解释。就拿下面一句话来作例子吧:
例句-1:“We arrived two hours late at the big blow-out for Charlie’s birthday because our car had a blow-out.”
这句话里第一个blow-out是指规模很大的聚会,第二个blow-out是指汽车的轮胎炸了。整个句子的意思是:“由于我们车胎炸了,所以我们晚了两个小时才到达查理举行生日宴会的地方。”
还有一些习惯用语从字典上的意思来看是相同的,但是它们使用的场合却不同。
下面两个习惯用语就是很好的例子。
一个是“Lock, stock and barrel”,另外一个是:“Hook, line and sinker”。
Lock, stock and barrel和Hook, line and sinker都是全部的意思,可是用法却不同。
我们先来举一个Lock, stock and barrel的例子:
例句-2:“Mr. Rockefeller bought the whole oil company lock, stock and barrel.”
这句话的意思是:“洛克菲勒先生把整个石油公司买了下来”。换句话说,也就是他买了这个石油公司的大楼丶油井和其他属于这个公司的资产。
Hook, line and sinker虽然也和lock, stock and barrel一样是全部的意思,可是它还带有受骗的意思。例如:
例句-3:“I warned Sally not to believe that man's stories about how rich he was, but she swallowed them hook, line and sinker. After she married him, she found out that he owed everyone in his office money.”
他说:“我告诉沙利不要相信那个男人说的他多么有钱之类的话。可是沙利却一点都没有怀疑他。等到结婚才发现这个人几乎向每个同事都借了钱。”
刚才我们讲解了在学英语过程中经常会碰到的一些问题。有些习惯用语从字面上看不出它们的确切意思,例如:give me a hand和foot the bill。另外还有些习惯用语在不同场合却表达不同的意思,如blow out。还有一些俗语,它们在字典上的解释是相同的,但是却有不同的用法,就像lock, stock and barrel和hook, line and sinker。
好,「美国习惯用语」第一讲就到里。欢迎下次再一起来学习美国习惯用语。再见。

| 除非英文變成台灣人生活的一部份, 我們將只能吸引為數越來越多的中國學生, 加速台灣的西藏化. ===== TAIWAN: Bid to attract more overseas students | |
 In a major speech last week Taiwan's President Ma Ying-Jeou (pictured) outlined the country's bid to become a higher education hub, and said some universities could begin to teach in English - a move that could draw students from mainland China and elsewhere in Asia away from universities in Britain, Australia and the US.Taiwan's universities are currently suffering a downturn in enrolments for demographic reasons, but the new policy is more than an attempt to fill seats in lecture theatres. "The tertiary education sector brings not just lucrative income, but it also expands a country's soft power and influence in the world," Ma said in a speech at the Commonwealth Economic Forum in Taipei on 10 January. It would not only help the development of Taiwan's universities but also promote Taiwan in Asia through 'student ambassadors' who would maintain an attachment to Taiwan even when they returned to their home countries, Ma said. He said the ministries of foreign affairs and education, as well as the Overseas Compatriot Affairs Commission under the country's parliament, the Executive Yuan, would draw up a plan to attract more students to Taiwan. Universities already employing English-speaking lecturers "may soon offer curricula taught fully in English", Ma said. "I have been told, on more than one occasion by officials from Southeast Asian countries, that if universities in Taiwan provide more programmes taught in English, the country will be very attractive to their high school students." Citing estimates by international consultancies, he said Taiwan had the potential to attract some 160,000 foreign students, mostly from Chinese-speaking countries. However that target could be difficult to meet. Mainland China is itself attempting to attract more international students, investing in major new facilities to house foreign students at top universities including Peking University in Beijing and Fudan University in Shanghai. Peking University, the most prestigious in mainland China, launched a major recruitment campaign in Hong Kong last month. Hong Kong also attracts large numbers of top mainland students. Meanwhile Hong Kong and China have also been developing joint programmes, with the first joint masters degree in law between Peking University and Hong Kong expected to begin soon. With a nod to the emerging competition from China, Ma said: "We cannot compete with mainland China in terms of market size, but we have an edge over [them] in terms of the quality of our courses and our ability to teach both traditional and simplified Chinese." Traditional Chinese characters are used in Hong Kong, Taiwan and many overseas Chinese communities, while simplified characters are in use in mainland China and Singapore. Taiwan faces stiff competition from Hong Kong, whose universities are ranked among the highest in Asia, although students from the mainland are restricted to a small percentage of the student body. In addition Hong Kong has been drawing students from Taiwan and also attracting Taiwanese academics with higher salaries than they can get in their own country. That will have to be reversed for Taiwan to compete as a higher education magnet. Singapore also has more than a decade-long head-start as an education hub in Asia, attracting some 91,000 foreign students with a stated aim of increasing this number to 150,000 in the next five years. A declining birth rate in Taiwan has led to predictions that almost 28% of the island's 164 colleges of higher education could close by 2021 for lack of students. yojana.sharma@uw-news.com |

Dear all,To participate in the discussion of [英文成爲台灣人生活的一部分]，I'd like to recommend "Classic Guide to Better Writing - by Rudolf Flesch, Abraham Harold Lass:To outline how to study English is not the same as to buy a good book and study it with religious care.
I have such a good book to recommend to you all: The Classic Guide to Better Writing - by Rudolf Flesch, Abraham Harold Lass - available at Amazon.com.
This is the book I myself read countless times and before my retirement I gave about 50 copies to friends as gifts with high hope, including 臺北縣中學英文教師 Thomas More University 1995 (?) 暑期訓練班。But then, how many of those 50 books have been read carefully? I don't know.
This is not rule-setting book (don't read it that way). It is not only a good grammar book, but, above all, is also a literature appreciation book if readers care to read it this way. Reading a good book ten times is better than reading ten books once each.
All I know about writing I learn from this book. So I recommend it.
All discussion points in [英文成爲台灣人生活的一部分] are well taken, but I need to point out one thing, which has been neglected so far: since English is our second language and nothing comes natural, we cannot learn it well without reading good books; knowing "how to learn ..." is not the same as "I have learned ...".
A close analogy: In politics, many of us "know to reform ...", but none of us "has reformed ....".

Subject: [英文成為台灣人生活的一部份] Google dictionary and translation
Emy, google dictionary and translation is definitely useful, particularly for beginners. Furthermore, it is not just valuable for learning English. You can use it to translate any language (for example, Spanish) to any other language (e.g., German) conveniently. Some problems I can see are:
Often, the translation is not helpful.
If one always translates English into Chinese, it suggests that the person thinks in Chinese. But to be fluent in English, one should learn to think in English. So, I suggest that one also use tools such as Answers, that provide explanation (and pronunciation) of English expression by clicking.
Cheers, Luby
Thank you, Emy. Could you share with us the tools you use, with some detail? Cheers, Luby
3.熟悉如何使用網路 這幫助你吸收最新資訊:
現在有許多軟體可以幫助初學者學英文,但這些軟體通常不夠普及,學習的人就要自己去發現 使用這些軟體,沒人介紹就不會知道,所以要積極去找工具
like ''google dictionary and translation'',which is a useful tool my uncle gave to me:)
