Unit 8 Learning a foreign language
Unit 8 Learning a foreign languageREADINGLEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: TWICE AS HARD?Learning a language is obviously more than just memorizing words, phrases and structures. When we learnt our mother tongue, we did not receive much formal instruction. Few parents give language lessons to their children! Instead we learnt or acquired our mother tongue by communicating with the people around us. But how was it possible for us to learn all the sounds, words, grammar rules and structures through this able to make sense of what we heard and distinguish the mistakes and errors from “good” language? Language experts have different answers. Some believe that we are equipped with a special ability to learn language and that our brain adjusts itself to the language we hear around us. Others think that we learn language in the same way we learn other things, such as walking or solving problems, and that what we are born with is a general ability to learn and adapt, not a language-specific part of the brain. Regardless of their theories, these language experts do agree that if a very successful language school: virtually everyone learns to use a language and has mastered the basics by the age of five.Learning a foreign is different from learning one’s mother tongue. T he learning usually takes place in school and there are often few opportunities to communicate with other speakers of the language. As a consequence, some students think that learning a foreign language is slow and difficult. However, we actually learn a foreign language much faster than we do our mother tongue. That may not seem true to you—think of all the hours of hard work you have spent learning English! But once you consider the situation further, you will realize that this is indeed the case. When you were learning your mother tongue, you spent all your waking hours communicating with the people around you; in other words, you were studying the language all day long! You did this for five years, so that is an awful lot of hours. We only spend a few ho urs a week and in a few years’ time we can speak a foreign language. We also have textbooks, teachers and classmates to instruct and assist us in the process, and we can learn more about study methods and skills. That means we can be much more efficient.Then why are some people better at learning a foreign language than others? Research has shown that successful language learners do share quite a few characteristics. The data suggests that what understanding their own thinking, curious about the world, willing to take chances and confident in their ability. Successful language learners also use different ways of learning and plan their studies in order to deal with academic challenges.Successful language students gain confidence and are able to relax and e njoy the learning because they plan and evaluate their learning. With greater control and stronger sense of achievement, active learners are able to acquire new skills faster and put what they know to better use. As a result, they do better in areas such as reading comprehension, vocabulary learning, writing and speaking. The less anxious are more successful languages learners. They are more willing to take risks and to place themselves in new learning language learners. They are more willing to take risks and to place themselves in new learning situations. If they were not, they would not be ready to experiment with new forms and to make mistakes, both of which contribute to their increased ability to learn.The purpose of learning is important, too. Not all of us want to be translators or interpreters. Most simply want to learn English for everyday use. Some people probably have more interest and greater ability than others, but that does not mean that we cannot find ways to improve. It takes patience to learn a language. If we want to become successful language learners, we should try to adopt some of the study habits language does not have to be twice as hard as learning our mother tongue, but can in fact be twice as easy and a lot of fun.INTEGRA TING SKILLSReadingSTUDYING ABROADMany language learners think that the best way to learn a language is to spend time in a country where the language is spoken. In the past, studying abroad was a distant dream for most people. Nowadays, however, it has become easier to find both opportunities and means. Many scholls offer exchange programmes at various academic levels at a reasonable cost. There are programmes for junior and senior middle schools as well as colleges. Some programmes offer a “homestay” service, ie visiting students will live with a host family. This is perhaps the best option for younger students, since it means that the student does not have to worry about meals and housing. Living with a host family is also a wonderful way to learn about the culture in that country. Most exchange students say that they feel as if they truly part of their host families and that they will always stay in touch.A year in a foreign country is not just about learning a language. It is true that exchange students usuall y become fluent in the new language, but most of them would probably tell you that they also learn many other things that are even more important. Being an exchange student helps you make friends with people from different backgrounds and understand another culture. one year is not enough to learn all about a country or a culture, of course, but it is enough to broaden you horizons and improve your understanding of the world, what is perhaps the most valuable is what you learn about yourself and your own culture. when you are at home, you seldom stop to think what kind of person you are and what your culture is really like. As an exchange student, you have to learn to depend on yourself and you will often be asked to explain your country and culture to others. It may seem strange, but many returning exchange students say that their year abroad made them understand their own country and culture for the first time.Studying abroad may have its disadvantages as well. While exchange students can learn many useful things, it is also possible that some of them may fall behind in their studies. Since exchange students always experience language and culture problems in the beginning, they will not be able to take classes at the same level as at home. Many parents worry about the safety of their children and may also be concerned about the cost.If you are thinking of spending some time as a student in a foreign country, you should begin by finding out as much as possible about different programmes. You will need to consider the cost and length of your stay. There are exchange student associations that can give you useful information. If you have never been abroad or travelled alone before, it is probably best to start with a shorter visit, perhaps a summer course. It is very important that you find an appropriate course for you. Since it is a decision that affects the whole family, your parents should take an active part and help you find out what is best for you. You can also contact students who have been abroad to hear about their experiences.。

高中英语U n i t8L e a r n i n g af o r e ig n l a n g u a g e文章H o w t o l e a r n a r t i c l e s人教版第三册.d o c-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1How to learn articlesArticlesThere are only three articles in English: a, an and the.There are two types of articles indefinite a and an or definite the.Their proper use is complex especially when you get into the advanced use of English. Quite often you have to work by what sounds right, which can be frustrating for a learner.We usually use no article to talk about things in general - the doesn't mean all.For example:"Books are expensive." = (All books are expensive.)"The books are expensive." = (Not all books are expensive, just the ones I'm talking about.)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Indefinite articles - a and an (determiners)A and an are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before:-For example:"I saw an elephant this morning.""I ate a banana for lunch."A and an are also used when talking about your professionFor example:"I am an English teacher.""I am a builder."Note!You use a when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city" and "a factory"You use an when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)2Pronunciation changes this rule.If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we say it, for example, "university" then we use a. If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour" then we use an.We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning as though it were spelt "youniversity".So, "a university" IS correct.We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our".So, "an hour" IS correct.Definite Article - the (determiners)You use the when you know that the listener knows or can work out what particular person/thing you are talking about.For example:"The apple you ate was rotten.""Did you lock the car"You should also use the when you have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.For example:"She's got two children; a girl and a boy. The girl's eight and the boy's fourteen."We use the to talk about geographical points on the globe.For example:the North Pole, the equatorWe use the to talk about rivers, oceans and seasFor example:the Nile, the Pacific, the English channelWe also use the before certain nouns when we know there is only one of a particular thing.For example:the rain, the sun, the wind, the world, the earth, the White House etc..However if you want to describe a particular instance of these you should use a/an.3For example:"I could hear the wind." / "There's a cold wind blowing.""What are your plans for the future" / "She has a promising future ahead of her."The is also used to say that a particular person or thing being mentioned is the best, most famous, etc. In this use, 'the' is usually given strong pronunciation: For example:"Harry's Bar is the place to go.""You don't mean you met the Tony Blair, do you"No articleYou do not use an article before nouns when talking in general terms.For example:Inflation is rising.People are worried about rising crime. (Note! People generally, so no article)You do not use an article when talking about sports.For example:My son plays football.Tennis is expensive.You do not use an article before uncountable nouns when talking about them generally.For example:Information is important to any organisation.Coffee is bad for you.You do not use an article before the names of countries except where they indicate multiple areas or contain the words (state(s), kindom, republic, union). Kingdom, state, republic and union are nouns, so they need an article.For example:No article - Italy, Mexico, Bolivia, EnglandUse the - the UK (United Kingdom), the USA (United States of America), the Irish RepublicMultiple areas! the Netherlands, the Philippines, the British Isles45。
人教版高三英语Unit8learningaforeignlanguage
人教版高三英语Unit8learningaforeignlanguage人教版高三英语unit 8 learning a foreign language“learning a foreign language: twice as hard?”教学设计我的教学设计的内容是人教版高级中学教科书英语第三册第八单元课文阅读“learning a foreign language: twice as hard?”主要针对课文中的最后两个长自然段进行教学设. 我将从以下几个方面对我的教学设计进行简单的陈述。
一、设计思想高三复习以教学大纲为依据，以考试说明为指导，把握复习方向，控制好复习的深度、难度和广度。
狠抓基础知识的活用教学。
突出重点、突破难点、综合听、说、读、写各种手段，特别要强化阅读教学，加大阅读的输入量，注重培养学生快速、准确地阅读理解所提供的材料，从而全面提高学生灵活运用英语解决实际问题的综合能力。
那么就本单元阅读“learning a foreign language: twice as hard?”我将采用新课程标准所提倡的“任务型教学”，侧重于提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，同时培养学生自我完成任务的能力和训练学生的答题思维和策略。
完善学生的情感态度价值观。
理论依据：任务型教学理论；考试说明；高三英语教学大纲有以上理论作依据，教师能更好的把握课堂的整体教学，对学生进行有的放矢的针对性训练。
二、教材分析对教材的理解和分析直接影响着学生对课程的掌握和理解。
针对以上设计思想，我对此阅读做如下分析：阅读部分是一篇关于外语学习的难度是否是母语学习难度的两倍的记叙文，阅读部分要求通过词汇讲解，长难句句式分析和练习，翻译等活动培养学生获取信息和归纳总结的能力。
在这节课前，学生学习了课文的前三段已经掌握了文章的主旨大意。
本课时以阅读为主线，辅以听说练习，要求学生熟悉课文内容并修正学生学习外语的学习态度。

人教版高三英语Unit 8 learning a foreign language
人教版高三英语 Unit 8 Learning a Foreign LanguageIntroductionIn the modern era of globalization, learning a foreign language has become increasingly popular and highly valued. The ability to communicate in multiple languages not only enhances one’s career prospects but also broadens one’s understanding of different cultures and perspectives. In this unit, we will explore the importance of learning a foreign language and the various strategies that can be employed to improve language proficiency.Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language1. Career OpportunitiesIn today’s interconnected world, proficiency in a foreign language can significantly increase job prospects. Many multinational companies and organizations prefer candidates who are bilingual or multilingual. Being able to communicate with international clients and navigate different cultures and markets can give individuals a competitive edge in the job market.2. Cultural ExchangeLearning a foreign language provides an opportunity to explore and appreciate different cultures. Language is deeply intertwined with culture, and gaining proficiency in a foreign language allows individuals to understand the customs, traditions, and values of the target language’s speakers. This cultural exchange fosters mutual understanding and can lead to meaningful connections and friendships with people from diverse backgrounds.3. Cognitive BenefitsStudies have shown that learning a foreign language can improve cognitive abilities. The process of acquiring a second language involves learning new grammar rules, vocabulary, and sentence structures. This mental exercise enhances memory, problem-solving skills, and overall cognitive flexibility. Moreover, bilingual individuals have been found to be better at focusing attention and multitasking.Strategies to Improve Language Proficiency1. ImmersionImmersing oneself in the target language and culture is one of the most effective ways to improve language proficiency.
