Methods Of Learning Foreign Languages
Historically, people speak different languages and to understand each other out was found one – to teach foreign languages. How can that be? It’s not very easy thing to learn a language effectively and sometimes in short time. Since the history of mankind was invented and developed several methods to easily and quickly learn the “foreign” language. Initially, methods were developed to study the languages of the Roman-Germanic group who “Born” at the base as “dead” languages – Latin and Greek. So all the methods and reduced to one principle – the reading and translation. This is the first grammar-transferable method was formed by the middle of xx century. According to him, training was reduced to the study of grammar and vocabulary through memorization. The advantage of this method can be called that, in this case, the grammar can be learned at a very high level.
K disadvantages include the fact is, it forms the so-called language barrier in pursuit of the principle of using a standard speech of words, which are built a certain order, in accordance with the rules. By the mid 60’s there was technique which is known as Silent way (the method of silence). It is built on the principle of self-expression of the pupil. According to scientists, the knowledge of any language inherent in a person on a subconscious level, and following, this technique, the teacher with the help of a color table, where each color represents a certain definite sound, teaches students, without imposing that their point of view. In the late 70’s is very widely spread method the so-called immersion (Sugesto pedia). The specialists who developed the technique believe that qualitatively to learn a language is possible only by becoming, even for a while, another person. So all the students in groups working on this principle, invent fictitious names, biographies and immersed in a world language is spoken.
Another of the interesting methods of language learning – a method of Total-physical response. The principle of this technique is based on the fact that the first time student only listens foreign language. Further, in the second stage is the response phase, during which time, the student responds to their actions heard. And only then, when the student has accumulated enough information, the student begins to speak. The advantages of this method – a comfortable learning the language. And in the 90 years became very popular, so-called alternative methods of language learning. One of the most popular is still considered the method by Ilona Davydova. Underlying these techniques are so-called hidden messages, which act directly on the subconscious. Although, as shown by recent studies, there are no “hidden messages” of its methodology does not contain. Just a quick alternation of phrases leads to the fact that the human brain does not respond to the differences between native and foreign language and, thus, lost the fear of making a mistake. It should be remembered that the choice for some technique you will learn the language, not the most important, because without the diligence and hard work hard to achieve success.
