Learning English is difficult Practice makes perfect If you learn how to learn English, then you do not have to work hard anymore How well you learn English depends mostly on how hard you work at it. You should look up every English word you find when reading The more challenging a phrase in English is, the more you can learn from it To understand what you are reading or hearing, you need to know all the words used Your biggest concern when you are speaking English should be NOT to make mistakes You should first think in your own language to know what you want to say, and then translate into English

Tools for Strategy Investigation
对教师来说,学习策略调查工具的掌握尤为重要,只 有了解了学生的学习策略,才能就学习策略进行辅导 和教学,才能开发适合学生的问卷等,同时,也就提 高了自己的学科教学能力。 问卷法,人们使用的问卷是 Oxford (1990), the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL).SILL的优点是采集大量学生的信息,并且,还 能够使用在与学习策略相关的变量研究中,如学习风 格,性别,语言水平,和文化因素。Oxford及同事还 研究了任务为主的问卷,以完善SILL (Oxford et al., 2004). 文秋芳教授的《英语学习策略调查问卷》

Some do it for academic credit, some for money, some just for experience. Students and professors agree that an undergraduate research project can be uniquely beneficial to both parties.Ideally, undergraduate research is an opportunity for the kind of intensive study that can expand the mind in ways traditional courses can't. Economics Professor Ralph Edison says: "To really understand a discipline you have to get the feeling that knowledge isn't just out there and you passively have to absorb it, but rather that it's constantly beingcreated and we're constantly rethinking things... When students see a discipline as evolving rather than fixed, they usually get a lot more excited about learning because they see that it's an ongoing process." He points out that research can be exciting because "a research project really gives students an opportunity to answer real-life questions that we don't know the answers to."Research also spurs independent thinking and intellectual confidence in students. Amelia, a graduate student in computer science, says, "You had to go out and learn on your own. You weren't going to be spoon-fed." Her fond memories of work as an undergraduate researcher played an important role in her decision to leave her Wall Street programming job and return to Columbia as a graduate student.Arthur Hannah, a political science graduate of Columbia College says undergraduate research "felt like a whole new mode of learning." Instead of looking for the knowledge we do have, he says, research forces students to look for knowledge we don't have. It's a process of looking for holes and trying to plug them, which is completely different from the classroom experience of learning what others already know. He also describes how creating a piece of original research instilled a "pride of authorship" in his work, something he hadn't found in his regular classes.Most undergraduates doing research are working for credit. They register for a semester-long course and do a project for a professor who gives them a grade for their efforts. In some departments a research project might constitute an honors thesis.Some students do research for pay. Taken simply as a form of employment, it's one of the most desirable jobs available to undergraduates. Stella says, "I need some kind of income, and I'd rather work here than in the cafeteria"; paid research work gives her an opportunity to transform a work-study job into an engaging aspect of her education. The money for her wages is available because of a program started this year providing $100 000 to fund undergraduate research. This funding is intended to support about 50 undergraduates in work-study research positions.Other students do research not for credit or for money but simply on a volunteer basis. Usually, these are students pursuing a career that requires some demonstration of altruistic commitment, such as medicine.As Economics Professor Ralph Edison says: "Undergraduate research can become a valuable part of education. It's a real and valuable privilege. It hasto remain an extraordinary undertaking for extraordinary people in extraordinary circumstances."A篇大学生在校搞研究(yánjiū)哥伦比亚大学工程学院二年级学生(xuésheng)索菲亚·斯黛拉,是众多以各种方式在校参与研究工作(gōngzuò)的学生之一。
Learning Strategies 学习策略 语言学
Oxford
Oxford按照策略和语言材料的关系将策略分为直接策 略(direct strategies)和间接策略(indirect strategies) 。直接策 略要求对所学语言进行认知处理,因而与所学语言直接相
关,直接策略分为三类:记忆策略、认知策略、补偿策略;
Factors Influencing Learning Strategy
1. age 2. motivation 3. Personality
4. Learner's educational background
1. Age • Evidence indicates that age is an evident factor affecting learners’choice of learning strategies. Young children like to use simple strategies, while adult learners like to employ more complex and sophisticated strategies. Brown et al.’s (1983) study demonstrates that when children use the strategy of rehearsal, they think it is only rote repetition. However, adult learners’use of the same strategy involves active, systematic and elaborative procedures.
Weinstein Learning strategies are the behaviors and thoughts that a learner and Mayer engages in during learning that are intended to influence the learner’s encoding process.

(一) 计划策略 Planning strategy is based on a cognitive activity of specific target, at an event before the planned activities, expected results, selection strategy, come up with solutions to the problem, and it is expected that its effectiveness.计划策略是 根据认知活动的特定目标,在一项活动之前计划 各种活动,预计结果、选择策略,想出解决问题 的方法,并预计其有效性。 To study plan can be a long-term, can also be tailored to the specific learning task plan. 给学习做计划既可以是较长期的,也可以 是针对具体的学习任务所制定的计划。
2、记笔记
早期的研究认为,记笔记的主要作 用是对信息进行编码和用于课后复习,新近 的研究则把记笔记看作为一个学生自我监控 的过程,在这个过程中,记笔记的目标、学 生对课程重要性和笔记的作用的理解、学生 所具有的关于如何记笔记的知识经验等等都 会对记笔记产生影响
有人建议,记笔记应采用以下三个步骤: ①留下笔记本每页右边的1/3或1/4空白 处; ②记笔记(note taking),即记下听课或 阅读的内容; ③做笔记(note making),即整理笔记, 在留下的空白部分加边注、评语等。

O'Grady等人(1989)认为学习策略是一种“心理过程”, 包括对输入语言做出某种假设并对这种假设进行检验和 把语言知识应用于交际场合。
综合以上观点,我们认为,可以将其统一起来:学习
策略既包括内隐的心理过程,也包括外显的具体行为,
且这种思想和行为贯穿于语言的学习与运用中。

The rise of learning strategies
1980s---Classifications of strategies and descriptions of learners The 1980s was marked by efforts to classify strategies. Language educators like O’Malley and Chamot (1990), Oxford (1990), and others created classification schemes that labeled strategies according to whether they had a primarily “metacognitive”, “cognitive”, “social”, “affective”, or other function, drawing primarily on the rich L1 literature about reading strategies.

metacognitive strategies
(d) Using dictionaries or other reference materials.
(e) Writing down the main idea, important points or outline of the information presented orally or in writing. (f) Putting together smaller meaningful elements into new wholes.
Meta-cognitive Strategies In the 1970s, American psychologist Flavell (1979) first put forward the concept of metacognitive strategy which enriched the theoretical research and training instruction of learning strategy. He thinks metacognitive strategy is the cognition of cognition, the awareness and controlling of a person’s process and result of his own cognition. Metacognition includes three aspects: metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive experience, metacognitive supervision and adjustment, with the last one as the most important. In the learning activities, the cognitive strategy is the indispensable specific knowledge which can improve learning efficiency, but the metacognitive strategy is the supervision and adjustment of the whole learning activities. The use of the cognitive strategy aims to make progress whereas the use of the metacognitive strategy aims to supervise this progress.

(4)Rubin(1987) thinks that learning strategies help learners to build the systematical construction of language development. These strategies can derectly influence the development of language. (5)Oxford (1990)defines learning strategies as "specific actions taken by the learner to make learning easier, faster, more enjoyable, more self-directed, more effective, more transferable to new sutuations. " (6)Cohen(1998) regards learning strategies as the learner's conscious or subconscious behavior and mental activity. These internal and external activities have specific goals. One goal is to make the learning of language and skills more easier, the other is for the employment of language or to make up the shortage of knowledge.

The Importance of Learning Strategies in ELT(外语学习策略的重要性)
Learning strategies are steps taken by students to enhance their own learning.
Strategies are especially important for language learning because they are tools for active, self-directed involvement, which is essential for developing communicative competence.
• Understanding how to train your students to use them

Some Strategies for Learning English ---学习英语的一些策略
Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事.它需要刻苦和长期努力.Nevertheless, while you cannot export to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些.一下便是其中的几种.1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according it how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词.你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力.如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来.你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们.积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的次只需要见到时认识即可.你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径.2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, “I am interested in English”, but “I am good at French”? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, “learn the news or secret”, but “learn of someone’s success or arrival”? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives.密切注意地道的表达方式.你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”, 而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”? 你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”, 而“获悉某人的成功或到来”是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”?这些都是惯用法的例子.再学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它.3. Listen to English every day. Listening to English on a regular basis will not only improve your ear, but will also help you build your speaking skills. In addition to language tapes especially prepared for your course, you can also listen to English radio broadcasts, watch English TV, and see English movies. The first time you listen to a taped conversation or passage in English, you may not be able to catch a great deal. Try to get its general meaning first and listen to it over and over again. You will find that with each repetition you will get something more.每天听英语.经常听英语不仅不提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能.除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影.第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多.先试着听懂大意,然后再反复地听.你会发现每次重复都会听懂很多更多的东西.4. Seize opportunities to speak. It is true that there are few situations at school where you have to communicate in English, but you can seek out opportunities to practice speaking the language. Talking with your classmates, for example, can be an easy and enjoyable way to get some practice. Also try to find native speaker on your campus and feel free to talk with them. Perhaps the easiest way to practice speaking is to rehearse aloud, since this can be done at any time, in any place, and without a partner. For instance, you can look at pictures or objects around you and try to describe them in detail. You can also rehearse everyday situations. After you have made a purchase in a shop or finished a meal in a restaurant and paid the check, pretend that all this happened in an English-speaking country and try to act it out in English.抓住机会说.的确,在学校里必须用英语交流的场合并不多,但你还是可以找到练习的英语的机会.例如,跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式.还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈.或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读,因为这在任何时间,任何地方,不需要搭档就可以做到.例如,你可以看着图片或身边的物件,试着对它们详加描述.你还可以复述日常情景.在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后,假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家,试着用英语把它表演出来.5. Read widely. It is important to read widely because is our learning environment; reading is the main and most reliable source of language input. When you choose reading materials, look for things that you find interesting, that you can understand without relying too much on a dictionary. A page a day is a good way to start. As you go on, you will find that you can do more pages a day and handle materials at a higher lever of difficulty.广泛阅读.广泛阅读很重要,因为在我们的学习环境中,阅读是最重要,最可靠的语言输入来源.在选择阅读材料时,要找你认为有趣的,不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西.开始时每天读一页是个好办法.接下去,你就会发现你每天可以读更多页,而且能对付难度更高的材料.6. Write regularly. Writing is a good way to practice what you already know. Apart from compositions assigned by your teacher, you may find your own reasons for writing. A pen pal provides good motivation; you will learn a lot by trying to communicate with someone who shares your interests, but comes from a different culture. Other ways to write regularly include keeping a diary, writing a short story and summarizing the daily news.经常写,写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法.除了老师布置的作文,你还可以找到自己要写的理由.有个笔友可以提供很好的动力;与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流,你会学到很多东西.经常写作的其他方式还有记日记,写小故事或概述每天的新闻.Language learning is a process of accumulation. It pays to absorb as much as you can from reading and listening and then try to put what you have learned into practice through speaking and writing.。
