IntroductionSome learners who are studying a foreign language on their own think that they should hold off speaking until they have mastered the “basic” grammar and vocabulary of the language. They feel this way because they are appreh
8、ensive about making mistakes and about not being understood. However, the truth of the matter is that the only way to learn the grammar and vocabulary of new language is by practicing them in different contexts. So if your goal is to learn how to speak a foreign language, you should start practicing
9、 speaking as soon as possible. The problem is, however, when to start and how to improve it. Thats true of learning a foreign language without a certain context and background will be impossible. As we all know, we first listen and then speak by practicing step by step when we are babies. After that
10、, we try to remember those words of speaking and talking by others and even imitate them. At last, we can speak just as they do. Here, we can speak a language and make a simple conversation with others. By practicing day after day, we can speak fluently and easily. That means we succeed.2. Literatur
11、e reviewCarroll proposed traditional cognitive approach in 1964. It arose when audio-lingual approach was attacked and challenged. The audio-lingual habit theory “emphasizes the primacy of auditory discrimination and oral production habits over other aspects of language us, the importance of the aut
12、omation of habits and the role of repetition in such automation,” while cognitive code learning theory is “a modified up-to-date grammar translation theory”, according to which “foreign language learning is a process of acquiring conscious control of the patterns of a second language largely through
13、 the study and analysis of these patterns as a body of language”(Carroll, 1966).The information-processing cognitive approach (as represented in, for example, Shiffrin and Dumais 1981; Schneider, Dumais, and Shiffrin 1984; Anderson 1980, 1982 (see Hultijn, 1990), on the other hand, was formed in 198
14、0s and developed in 1990s with the publication of “A Cognitive Approach to Language Learning” by Skehan in 1998. During the last few decades, sociolinguistics has grown in influence on second language learning, which focuses on the importance of the social contexts in which languages are learned, an
15、d the way they influence the meanings which are expressed. However, the recent achievements in psycholinguistics and their influences on SLA have been neglected. The aim of information-processing cognitive approach is to investigate second language learning through the cognitive abilities of the lea
16、rner and the processing problems that the learner has to confront, and redress the balance of viewpoints in second language acquisition research and language teaching pedagogy, which the author feels has leaned too for towards linguistics and sociolinguistics in recent years and has not, until recen
17、tly, drawn effectively on contemporary cognitive psychology.3. Some ways 3.1 Intensive listenWhat learners should do is intensive listen at the beginning progress, especially to those routine sentences.3.1.1 Listen to some phrase for beginning and ending conversations. Every language has standard gr
18、eetings, introductions courtesies, and leave-takings. In English we begin a conversation with Hello! or Hi! and may end with Take care, See you later, I gotta go now, or Ill see you. In telephone conversations, English speakers also have clear rules for beginning and ending conversations. When makin
19、g a business call, the person calling says Hello, I would like to speak to so and so, please. When told to hold the line, the caller will often say thank you. When the conversation is over, the conversational partners usually say good-bye.3.1.2 Listen to expressions that show you are paying attentio
20、n and following the conversation. In English, we use such comments as Yeah, Good, My goodness, Uhuh, Wow, Really?, How strange, How interesting to encourage a conversational partners. Inserting such phrases at the right times indicates that we understand and are interested.3.1.3 Listen how to expres
21、s your reactions. You should learn how to express your impressions and content on what is going on. In English, we praise or criticize someone with phrases such as You look nice, What a good idea! Or how stupid of me! Learn the appropriate ways of expressing various reactions in the language you are
22、 studying.Also, listen how to agree and disagree. In English, we use phrases such as I agree, Really, Certainly, Youre right, and I dont agree.3.2 Extensive listenWhat learners should do is extensive listen, especially to international news in English.3.2.1 Listen to those which are about routine li
23、fe of English-speaking countries.From those news, we can get many words about routine life and life styles, even eating and dressing habits. Among of them, some are talking about how to cook, some are talking about how to keep healthy, and others are talking about living and eating.3.2.2 Listen to t
24、hose which are about finance, market and stock. Different materials have different contents. Some of them must have been interested you. We can get not only these words but also we can understand the world away us far.3.2.3 Listen to those which are reported in special and standard English. From lis
25、tening them, you can get different feeling on listening materials. The special one can make you follow them and understand them. The standard one can make you feel real English and pronunciation.3.3 The third step of improving oral English is recitation. Recite those great sayings of being written b
26、y great men and those powerful speeches of containing politic and life, or other aspects. Great sayings contain not only great ideas but also hints. Great speeches encourage people to do something, even make them become a real person.3.3.1 Recite those great sayings, such as Francis Bacons Of Truth,
27、 Of Studies, as follows:“some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may be read
28、by deputy and extracts made of them by others, but that would be only in the less important arguments and the meaner ort of books; else distilled books are like common distilled waters, flashy things. Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a ma
29、n write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have more cunning, to seem to know that he doth not. Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep, moral, grave; logic
30、and rhetoric, able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores. Nay, there is no stond or impediment in the wit but may be wrought out by fit studies, like as diseases of the body may have appropriate exercises.”(英美文學名篇選讀,39-40)3.3.2 Recite those great speeches, such as Martin Luther King s I Have a Dream, a
31、s follows:“I have dream today. I have a dream that one day down in Alabama-with its vicious racists, with its governors lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification-one day right there down in Alabama, little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white
32、boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain and crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and a
33、ll flesh shall see it together.”(英美文學名篇選讀,291)3.4 The forth step of improving oral English is imitation.Imitation is very important and necessary for an English learner. It can set up a language context for you and attach the real English conversation. On one hand, it can help your pronunciation thr
34、ough imitating the speakers pronunciation, and form a correct pronunciation habit. On the other hand, it can also help your mind in English through the English contexts, and form a standard oral English habit.3.4.1 Imitate those materials which are easy for you and with a standard pronunciation, suc
35、h as English Phonology and New Concept English.3.4.2 Imitate those materials which you are really interested. English films are your best choice and always very interesting, such as animations.3.5 The fifth step of improving oral English is repetition. It is based on before you finish the front four
36、 steps. You should try to catch up with the actors voice, even at the same time as quickly as you can.4. ConclusionBy now you should have a much clearer understanding about yourself as a language learner, the language learning process, how to set realistic goals, and how to find an environment that
37、will help you realize these goals. You should also have a better grasp of what you can do to help yourself become amore effective language learner: how to take charge of your learning, how to use what you know, how to assess the strategies you use, and how to improve your use of techniques in speaki
38、ng and listening.Your success in learning a foreign language depends largely on how well you assess what you need to do at each stage of development. You should consider whether you will learn more by working in a classroom or by living abroad and using the language, and whether you should stress a
39、particular skill.You will need to assess what background knowledge about language and the world you already have and what you need to learn. At the same time, you will need to become aware of your learning strategies and of ways to improve them so that you learn more quickly and effectively. You may
40、 also need to be conscious of the degree to which your feelings inhibit your learning and find ways to reduce their negative impact.Remember that language learning can be a lifelong process and that your goals, knowledge, motivation, and strategies will vary, depending on your own situation and on y
41、ou degree of language proficiency.If you become actively involved in the process of learning, your chances of achieving your goals are immensely improved. Learning a foreign language is a complex undertaking, but if you know more about the process and about your own approach to the task, it can be a
42、 very rewarding, enriching, and enjoyable experience.BibliographyCarroll,J.B.&S.M.Sapon,1959, Modern Language Aptitude TestM.
