How to be a successful language learner
“learning a language is easy .Even a child can do it!”
Most adult who are learning a second or a foreign language would disagree with this statement .For them,learning a language is a very diffcult task.They need hundreds of hours of study and practice,and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning ,Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their field find it diffcult to succeed in language learning.Conversely ,some people who are successful language learners find it diffcult to succeed in other fields.
Language teachers often offer advice to language learners :”Read as much as you can in the new language.”Practice speaking the language every day .””Live with people who speak the language.””Don’t translate-try to think in the new language.””Learn as a child would learn;play with the language.”
But what does a successful language learner do Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
First of all,successful language learner are independent learners?they do not depend on the book or the teacher;;they discover their own way to learn the language,Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.they are good guessers who look for clues and from their own conclusions .When they guess wrong,they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning .Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language ;they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the language and they sak these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistake and try again.When communications are diffcule,they can accept inforamation that is inexact or incomplete.It is more improtant for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally,successful language learners are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
What kind of language learner are you?If you are a successful language learner,you have peobably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully.
On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful ,you might do well to try some of the techniques out-lined above.

怎样做一个成功的语言学习者?
“学习一门语言是简单的.甚至一个孩子可以做得到.”
大多数正在学习第二语言或一门外语成年人对这个叙述表示反对.对他们来说,学习一门语言是非常困难的工作.他们需要成百上千个小时去学习和练习,甚至者都不能保证每个成年的语言学习者获得成功.
语言学习和学习其他东西不同.有些在他们的领域非常聪明和成功的人发现在语言学习中很难成功.相反的,一些成功的语言学习者发现很难在其他领域获得成功.
语言教师经常给语言学习者提供建议：“尽可能多的阅读这门新语言.每天练习说这门语言.”“和说这门语言的人一起生活.”“不要翻译.使者用这门语言去思考.”“像孩子一样去学,用这门语言去玩.”
但是一个成功的语言学习者会怎么做呢?语言学习研究成果表明成功的语言学习者在很多方面有相似点.
首先,成功的语言学习者是独立的学习者.他们不依靠书本或老师.他们探索出他们自己的方法去学习这门语言.他们试着自己去找到模型和规则代替等待老师的解释.他们是寻找线索和从他们自己总结中的很好的猜测者.当他们猜错了,他们会再次猜测.他们试着从他们犯的错误中学习.
成功的语言学习是积极主动的学习.所以,成功的学习者不会等待机会去使用者们预言,他们寻找这样的机会.他们寻找说这门语言的人并且他们希望这些人在他们犯错误时纠正他们的错误.他们会尝试任何事去交流.他们不害怕去重复他们听到的或说过得奇怪的事.他们愿意犯错误并且再次尝试.当交流太困难时,他们会接受不正确的或者不完全的信息.这对他们学习用这门语言去思考来说比知道每个单词的意思更重要.
最后,成功的语言学习者对这门语言和说这门语言的人感兴趣.对他们来说学习这门语言为了和这些人交流并向他们学习是很必要的.他们发现练习规则的使用这门语言很容易是因为他们想要用这种方法学习.
你是哪种语言学习者呢?如果你是个成功的语言学习者,你大概是很独立的,积极的,有目的的学习吧.
另外,如果你的语言学习不太成功,你该更努力去尝试一些上面的技巧了.
