Fear

心有畏惧

It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, conjugate a verb, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use your target language, we need to speak.

外文写得漂不漂亮、知不知道动词变位或能不能通过词汇测试其实真的不是很重要,重要的是你学有进步、真正学以致用。我们要的是能够交流。

This is the stage when language students can clam up, and feelings of shyness or insecurity hinder all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too afraid of bungling the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would embarrass them.

这个阶段,学习者会因为害羞或不安而难以开口,导致所有辛苦付出难以收获回报。东方文化中,要面子是很重要的社会价值观。经常有英语老师抱怨说,许多学生尽管已经学习很多年英语,但就是开不了口。他们太害怕因为发错音或犯语法错误而遭遇尴尬了。

The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors before they become ingrained. The more learners speak, the quicker they improve.

其实,这些错误可以帮助学习者发现自己语言学习的不足,并在错误根深蒂固之前予以纠正。学习者越是敢于开口,就越容易取得进步。
