How to Correct Mistakes in Language Learning ?
In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the basic goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as realization of those mistakes increase. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner.might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "1 do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "1’11 do it". The resulting difference can serve as a basis for the student to correct his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.
語言學習中如何改錯?
為了學好一門外語，有必要先克服對錯誤的恐懼。如果使用語言的基本目標是交流，那么錯誤就是次要考慮的問題，可以在意識到錯誤日漸明顯的過程中逐漸加以克服。另一方面，學生不應該忽略他們的錯誤。語言學習者可以觀察說本族語的人如何表達自己，這些本族表達法和學習者可能說出來的表達有何不同之處。比如，一個西班牙人在表達自己愿意在不久將來做某事時用的是I do it，在與英語是母語的人交流時，就會注意到那個人實際上說的是I’ll do it由此導致的差別可以作為學生糾正其英文中現(xiàn)在時態(tài)用法的基礎。但是一個從開始就不愿與人交流的學生將會失去這種通過不斷摸索進行學習的機會。
