一直有朋友問我們,小花生能不能推薦一些英語音頻和視頻資源?本來以為在網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代,資源已經(jīng)不稀缺了;花友們告訴我:花生君你有所不知,現(xiàn)在資源是很多,但為孩子選擇適合的資料,一點也不容易!
現(xiàn)在,越來越多的專家、老師、爸媽都意識到“聽”在孩子英語學(xué)習(xí)中的重要性。這個問題上,有位叫蓋兆泉的專家媽媽,她的總結(jié)還蠻到位的:
不論語感指什么,我們可以看出,它關(guān)于輸入,關(guān)于聲音,關(guān)于聽。學(xué)習(xí)任何一種語言,zui關(guān)鍵的都是學(xué)習(xí)這種語言的聲音。
在入門階段,應(yīng)該讓兒童把主要精力花在對外聲音的掌握上。在生活中、在孩子玩耍的過程中就可以隨時隨地地進行。讓孩子們先熟悉英語的語音語調(diào),建立圖像和聲音的直接對應(yīng)關(guān)系。
過了啟蒙階段,聽還是不是基礎(chǔ)?根據(jù)美國新課標(biāo)(CCSS),美國兒童的聽力理解能力,在13歲以前一直高于閱讀理解能力。美國新課標(biāo)提出的建議是read-aloud(老師讀給學(xué)生聽)應(yīng)該一直持續(xù)到中學(xué),而不是只在小學(xué)低年級進行。
回過頭來再看如何培養(yǎng)孩子的英語語感?答案顯而易見:大量聽,一直聽,聽到中學(xué)。
今天,就來和大家分享一組特別有趣的英語發(fā)音指導(dǎo)小視頻,BBC制作的。這個節(jié)目叫 Tim's Pronunciation Workshop(提姆的英語發(fā)音工作室)。這位就是 Tim,一個暖萌系的英國小帥哥 ...
(點這里免費觀看視頻,有興趣的朋友可以收藏,方便調(diào)取使用。此外,
(1)油管上有視頻全集(需VPN),https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcetZ6gSk96-ayXj5thbTpbh2vHWpP08o
(2)B站上也有很多,https://www.bilibili.com/video/av17405902/
他的工作室(workshop)是一座小木屋,每期視頻都在這里拍攝。每集3-5分鐘,Tim 告訴全世界“老外”一個不太搞得清楚的英語發(fā)音規(guī)則、難點,讓我們“聽得更清晰,說得更流利”。
Hi, I'm Tim and this is my pronunciation workshop. Here, I'm gonna show you how English is really spoken. It'll help you to become a better listener and a more fluent speaker. You ready? Come on, follow me.
照理來說,沒有比講解英語發(fā)音更枯燥的事兒,為什么這個小伙子愛干這事兒?
帶著好奇,我看了好幾集。果然,這根本不是那種“嚴(yán)肅正經(jīng)”的英語課堂。Tim的發(fā)音其實非常專業(yè),但他的講解方式又特別輕松、易懂、幽默。能這樣講英文發(fā)音,真的是“前無古人”。因此現(xiàn)在Tim可紅啦,課程上線不到一年,光光在在Youtube上就已經(jīng)有好幾百萬的點擊量。
貼上一集,3分多鐘的小視頻,你一看就明白了!
比如,這一集,講字母 r 的發(fā)音。Tim告訴大家,字母 r 在 war 這樣的單詞中是不發(fā)音的 ...
可變成了小短語,r 開始“發(fā)音”了,War 中的 r 和 and 中的 a 發(fā)生了“連接”,發(fā)出了連音 ...
這種現(xiàn)象,Tim 說,就是“r的連讀發(fā)音規(guī)則”,外國人們,你們搞不清楚吧,讓我來告訴你!
接著,Tim 請他的朋友們出場,給大家講更多的連音例子 ...
You know, I really like my mother-in-law.
Have you been to the Tower of London?
You've got something in your eye.
Never again!
Tim 還讓觀眾跟著他的朋友們讀。我跟了,發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的連音,還真要多練幾遍才能說得溜。
BBC Learning 官網(wǎng)上有Tim這套課程的全部視頻(他還在不斷更新)。視頻沒有字幕,但不用擔(dān)心,BBC將臺詞全部整理在網(wǎng)頁上,也有可下載的PDF??傊?,看懂沒問題!
我打算把 Tim 的發(fā)音課一節(jié)節(jié)跟下來。三大原因:
1、肯定能提高我的英語發(fā)音水平??!
2、小帥哥賞心悅目,而且跟著學(xué)特別輕松,好玩!
3、不要錢?。?!
當(dāng)然,推薦給花友們,還是因為你和孩子都能一起用(在你眼里Tim是小鮮肉;在你孩子眼里,這是親切頑皮的大哥哥)怎么和孩子一起用呢?很簡單:爸爸媽媽先看兩遍,然后帶孩子一起看,引導(dǎo)孩子注意關(guān)鍵點,帶他跟著視頻多練幾遍。
我相信,這個過程對孩子來說,會蠻有趣的,不信你試試看?
Tim 的課,每集講一個發(fā)音,都是zui常遇到的實用規(guī)則?;ㄉ隽它c小功課,把已經(jīng)發(fā)布的29集課程收集在這里,做了分類,大家可以檢索。點這里免費觀看視頻,有興趣的朋友可以收藏,方便調(diào)取使用。
