我把正規班第一級當作實驗探討ACES的成功模式,以作為英語學習的参考。
  一些感想如下:

    從5月19日到11月7日為Semester 1全程學習。
1.ABC Game 為基礎及自然發音訓練。
   貫穿整個學習,把每個学生發音調整正確。
你們會發現每一個学生嘴形開合及發音自然流  暢,這是一般美國人的發音方式,也是國人学英文最難的境界,如果学生會挑剔家長的發音,那表示他們知道發音鑑別的方法了。
     我發現班上有3分之1的學生們已很少被老師記名了,也許半年內所有的同學會達到不被記名的水準。
2.課程安排
    從Homework19 到今日HomeWork 39,即每4堂課(Lesson )上完之後就有一張HW, 前後有六次 (19/23/27/31/35/39)。
從學完之後不断的口語練習/翻譯/聽寫/訂正作業等滴水不漏的嚴謹SOP,真的非常不容易。
例如:
Phase1 10 20answer HW(繳交回答作業)
Phase2 1024translate 翻譯及(批改發回)
Phase3 10 27answer the HW
Phase4 1201TEST
Ending   1204 Correction Writing
  這樣的安排方式,学習規劃是一週二次(二/五)上課四小時,而功課有錄音及書寫及下堂課的準備ㄑNext Class>,讓学生回家天天都要接觸到英文。
其実這是語文練習的精髓,如果沒有集中訓練,絕對無法養成習慣。辛苦但是成長更甜美。
3.老師上課,絕對從嚴,全場無不精彩。
   ACES的嚴格及家長陪讀,学生又覺得有趣。這一點我倒是沒感受到。但是上課能控管到每一個人皆能專注学習,因為上課時沒開口練習或眼睛目光旁視,立即奌名罰站。發音不流暢跟不上節奏也是。一般授課時絕對無法掌控每一個人。我想是利用音樂節奏進行時有如計時器一樣,有一定的步調,若是一定的時間內沒有回答或回答不流暢就會罰課等修正後才座下。也就是說來上課不是人來了就好,而是ㄑnext class〉要預習。而回家功課要按時繳交。若是缺堂者沒有把功課在家補上,下一堂課就不知如何銜接上,所以會無法接招。
4.交作業有標準規定。
(A) HW書寫
老師發HW時有唸一遍答案及寫法注意事項,但還是很多問題。例如單字要折一半,分左頁及右頁靠左邊寫英文,及寫中文翻譯。

(B)HW訂正
必須問題與答案皆要寫  ,而且答題要對準問題的首字。
 1.小藍本專用 功課名要寫正中央。
 2.內容寫法問答要靠左邊。
    答案在問題句首正下方開始寫。
 3.第二個問題要隔一行。如何訂正HW?有三種
1.單字打圈者,抄寫x20遍
2.文法錯誤 整句x5遍
3.翻譯題 中文x1遍及英文x5遍
〈詳見ACES手冊)
*標題以考試日為標記( Lesoon#+testdate)
*先用原子筆訂正無誤。
*訂正時要寫完整的問題與答案。
*文法訂正規則 : 若句子被打"X",則要訂正好的句子抄五遍。
*標點符号及大小寫及空格要注意。這三項是算文法規則。

以上是我對ACES 上課的感想,如果上完一期把基本打好,大概英文學習就上軌道了,我們家長就可輪流陪讀上課了。
有幾點我可是還沒了解,希望大家指點迷津。
(1.) 到底學生的壓力是否很大,還是家長也很大?
(2.)上課時,偶有學生受挫折時會委屈眼紅,會有退却不想上課嗎? (有必要那麼辛苦嗎?)
(3.) 這些日子值得嗎?(伴讀)
(4.)我們打算要一直伴讀下去嗎?是

選擇好的英文教師讓孩子打好基礎而來ACES試聽時,家長們要陪讀及嚴格的教學方式是很大的挑戰。
回顧這半年 ,老師上課絕對從嚴,全場無不精彩。
發現每一個学生發音自然流暢而且自信十足。誠如"今天的淚水,會是你明天的成長"。家長都覺得是淬練成功新的美麗蝴蝶了。

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
期Review
1. Free past 的功效
    很多學生反應学校沒有ACES上課有趣。我們也認為既嚴格又有趣當然是最好,我家的每天數Free past,賭性堅強又不怕上課。但我會提醒她ABC Game 超過ㄧ半以後,可能就會取消,為了賺free past會請我幫她檢查HW。也算是效果吧!
   
2.上課節奏緊張刺激吧!
   世界上最不濟事的就是平庸無奇。全班家長聯合集思廣去解讀老師的規定。反正從嚴就是。也許有些家長認為太過了。但我們特地把孩子送來上課,沒把標準美語學好,高年級之後有了自主意識更不易糾正。
   到底學生們對上了發條的節奏是緊張刺激嗎?
對題 流暢 正確的口語發音是缺一不可。任何一次對答練習有一些些的缺點都不行。AHW時有20分鐘的對答,每人至少有10次的對答機會,目前約3分之1的同學通過考驗。把目標定好要求自己孩子達到老師無法挑剔的程度。我想有朝一日自然全班都會過関。
   学習態度很重要。上課被盯或罰錄,  一定要把正確的上課錄音聴幾次,自己模仿学習老師的發音才錄音。至少維持沒有預習也要複習的觀念。不要拖延一週,在一週內就把功課學好。因為上課時有沒有練習是不能騙人的,如果沒有唸熟上課挫折感就要加強練習。若是有練習但不達標準,也是要家長求救,尋求群組內協助或許可馬上解決(心裡建設也要)。
   
3. Homework 的SOP嚴謹。
    4個流程要執行二週。其実AHW 是在家回答功課,理論上是要全答對才是。上一堂課竟然沒一人全答對。我們家是有一題沒對齊,諸如此類者是沒完全按規定。另一類還有文法觀念對的同學就要及時糾正了。為什麼我們也細心起來了。因為過多的重覆性錯誤,就表現学習的漫不經心了。
  所以家長們試着盯住AHW ,讓他們学會專注力如果把HW寫出完全正確的答案。
    
4.回家功課
回家後如何寫功課是最困難的工作。
(1)罰錄的要聴一遍,同時校正好發音再錄音。
(2)correction 部份
    要依規定及文法,要漸漸把要訣記住。
5.Big Test
    * 祗剩下一週。簡單的覆習。
    *Big Test 練習卷
    *教室生字28個熟記
    *HW39
    *十月份所教(Lesson 31~41)


因為課程一直反覆練習,所以十月份課程熟記就等於全部学會了。

2018年3月8日 星期四

1、plural 的注意事項
(1.)不規則的複數
Women men feet mice child 
(2.)固定複數形 sandals stockings socks pants eyes ears shoes glasses。
(3.)複數時用are , 而且名詞+s(es)
ex
What color are my eyes?
What color is my eye(x)
What color are Jimmy's glasses?
What color are Patty's  socks?
An elephant drinks with its trunk.
2."Can you speak English?"你會講英語嗎?
(Be動與動詞不能並存)
Can you dance? 
Can you cook? 
Can you ride?
補充: 用do 來把肯定句轉為問句
Do you speak English? Yes, I do.   
你講英語嗎?是的,我講英語。
Does she have a cat?
Yes, she does. (No, she doesn’t.)  
她有一隻貓嗎?是的,她有一隻貓。
(不,她沒有一隻貓。)
ex  Do they work in office?
Yes, they do. (No, they don’t.)  
他們在辦公室裡工作嗎?
是的,他們在辦公室裡工作。

3.What's your name?

  What +名詞 時可限定縮小問句的範圍。
ex What color is your hair?
ex What time do you have English class?
ex  What's that ( these/ those/ this)?
ex What's your birthday?

4.Where are you from?
  Where are you from? (國籍)
  Where are you come from?(x)       
   Where do you come from?

5. Ayou and I....?被問者用we 答
     We
Are you and Patty ...?被問者用we 答
You
Are jack and I ......? (被問者用you 答)
   We
6. Is Mike Patty and  my teacher?
     Are Jimmy and Ted my teachers?
7. What's this that these those?回答方式

1、What is that? 可以用 This is回答?
2、what is this  与what is that回答
3、What is this ? It is an eraser. 
4、what is it?
4、what's these (those)?

問一樣事物倒底是什麼東西,其中 this(這)是用於指說話者旁近的事物;that (那)是用於指離說話者遠的事物;it 則無遠近之別,適用範圍較廣。this \that  其相對的複數是these\those。

要領1 :指示代名詞的單複數。
it  They.   通稱它的單數與複數。
This These近的單數與複數。
That Those遠的單數與複數。

要領2: 回答的判別方式。
Be動詞與what 疑問句答法不同;Be動詞是yes no回答,而W疑問句是直接回答。
例 
Q: What's this( that)? What is it?
A: It's a book.
例
Q: Is that book green?先用No簡答再用it或this詳答。
A: No, it isn't. This book isn't green. It's red.
A: No, it isn't. It isn't green. It's red.
或
Q:Are those their books?
A:Yes, they are. Those are their books.

要領:their的單複數取決于連接名詞單複數而定。
Is their English good?(單或UCN)
Yes, it is. Their English is good.
Are those their books?(複數)
Yes, they are. Those are their books

What is that? (那是什麼?)的涵意是指單數而遠指。那回答用It's a pen.或this' is a pen.但不知遠近祗好選it's

Q:What is that? 
所以在提問句時都是以「單數」提問~但可回「單和複數」的答案~ 
如果距離你很近,就是this ,距離較遠,就是that 。
回答是否為複數要視那件東西是否超過一件 
what is that ?
回答這個東西可能離他較遠,離你較近,或離你們兩個都遠。
What is this? It is an eraser. 

 為什麼用What is this問用It is回答?

為什麼像What is this? It is an eraser. 
類似這樣的句子不能用This is回答 
要用It is回答?話的人如果用了指示代名詞this來指東西時,通常表示這個東西離他較近。所以你可以回答: 
It is an eraser.(用it時,不表示遠近,單純是它) 
或 That is an eraser. (表示離你較遠) 
如果說話的人問:What is that? 
這個東西可能離他較遠,離你較近,或離你們兩個都遠。

What are those?那些是什麼?距离不同有三種答法。

They're erasers.它們是板擦
These are erasers這些是板擦
Those are erasers.那些是板擦
8.some:通常用於肯定句中,any:通常用於否定句或疑問句

positive sentence 裡,用於物品存在,但不知確切數量的時候。
any 則是用在否定的句子 negative sentence,用於和數量不太有關。
some 和 any 的差別在於後面可加可數或不可數名詞。
                 單數 不可數  複數   問句 否定  肯定
no          
any                                               *         *         x
some.                                          x.        *.       *
a little.         x       *          x     
a few.                               *
few.                                  *
little.                     *

一點點(些些)也有區別(理頭接不可數,有feel 接可數)
few+可數名詞(複數)+動詞(複數)
A few people visit the museum.
(很少人參觀這個博物館)

a little+不可數名詞+動詞(單數)
A little oil is in the tank.(油箱中只有一點點油)

some:通常用於肯定句中。
any:通常用於否定句或疑問句

positive sentence 裡,用於物品存在,但不知確切數量的時候。any 則是用在否定的句子 negative sentence,用於和數量不太有關。

I want some apples.
我想要一些蘋果。
some:通常用於肯定句中,any:通常用於否定句或疑問句
9.
1、代名詞所有格雖然是複數所有格但並非一定是複數,很容易搞錯
ex: is their teacher Jimmy?   他們的老師是Jimmy 嗎?
代名詞所有格的單複數取決于連接的名詞
Is their +  SCN or  UCN
Are their +PCN

他們的一條小狗是多人擁有一條小狗。他們班的老師是Jimmy ,也是Jimmy 一個人。
例 :他們家的一條小狗、小猫也是a dog a cat
Is their English young or old?
Are their  dogs smart?
Is their homework difficult?
2、There their they're的区分
They’re going to move there with all their families. 他們將與所有他們的家人搬到那兒去

3、these that those
近指遙指與單複數
近距離可touch用this these、遠距離用that those。
單或複數時、單數is a/an ;複數要接are加s。
What are these?
They're pencils.
These are my pencils.
Those are my pencils.
4、描述一般性事実(複數)因為其為群體動物
Are elephants strong animals?
Yes, they are. They're very strong animals.
I like apples.(蘋果而非指定某一個)

5、Be動詞 或助動詞 放在句首成為疑問句。
What are you talking about? 
What do you talk about? 
Are you sleepy? (你想睡了嗎?)
Are you sleeping? (你正在睡覺嗎?) 
Do you feel sleepy? (你覺得想睡了嗎?)

Notes69 解析双重所有格)


Are Sunny and Patty Emma and my classmates?
(Sunny和Patty Emma和我的同學?)
Yes, they are(前二者). They're your (後二者的)classmates.
No, they aren't. They aren't your classmates. They're your friends.
說明:
所有Be動詞句型: ++補。
Sunny and Patty (主)前二者
Emma and my classmates(補語)後二者。
雙重所有格用法A and  B's  是指A與B共同擁有的,僅後者用所有格就可以。
反之,例如 Emma's and Molly's teachers 表示兩人各
不同的老師。
以現況例 Jimmy is Patty and Molly's teacher.
(Jimmy 是Patty  及Molly  的老師)。而老師僅Jimmy一人而已。
Patty's and Molly's mothers are nice. 指両人的媽媽不同人,有二位用are.
再回頭看以前的句子
Is Jimmy Justin's classmate?
ㄧ〉 Is jimmy Patty and Justin's classmate?
ㄧ〉Is Jimmy Patty and  my  classmate?
  No, she's not. She's not his classmate. She's his schoolmate.
