Some students mentioned this issue in class.
The basic situation of this student's English subject is as follows: his grades have been hovering around the passing line for a long time, he hates reading comprehension questions, and he is basically half wrong and half right on other question types.
My reply is as follows:
The Crazy English method is effective in improving pronunciation and speaking, but it is not effective for exam taking.
Although Li Yang’s character has collapsed, his ability to deliver large-scale live speeches for decades is still there. No matter how powerful the deception is, it cannot continue to deceive for such a long time. There were not many good brushes, so no one was too embarrassed to actively paint the walls.
But then again, the successful learning promoted by Crazy English is nonsense. It is impossible to learn English with enthusiasm. This kind of person can neither do anything for long nor succeed in anything.
One of Li Yang's crazy "famous quotes" says this: Swimming is achieved by swimming, and English is learned.
Totally agree with this.
As far as his loudest, fastest and clearest method is concerned, which is the so-called three-most learning method, I personally agree with the latter two, that is, fast and clear. As for whether to speak loudly or not, it depends on each person's preference and the size of his voice. It has nothing to do with whether he can learn English well, especially improve his oral communication skills.
After mastering the phonetic symbols and word spelling rules, you can use the Crazy English method to increase the amount of practice and form muscle memory. It will be no problem.
But it must be reviewed through sentences and articles, so that the resistance to forgetting will be higher.
As for this student who said that he hates reading comprehension, the main reason is that he has a weak grasp of basic key vocabulary phrases, and because basic grammar is vague, or his memory is confused, which leads to his inability to understand compound sentences and sentences. Special sentence patterns.
The former can be practiced and consolidated using the Crazy English method, while the latter requires special reinforcement by configuring appropriate exercises.
To summarize: To see practical results using the Crazy English method, you must develop a sense of language through repeated practice on the premise of learning phonetic symbols and basic grammatical rules. Otherwise, it will only deepen and consolidate the mistakes.
Only a large amount of correct input will produce appropriate output. This method is very good for improving your speaking and listening skills.
As with all standardized exams, on the premise of mastering the required vocabulary and thorough grammar, and by answering the right amount of questions, you can pass smoothly, or even pass with a high score.
After all, exams have syllabuses or past papers, and there are still some question-setting ideas and corresponding problem-solving routines.
I wish you progress in your studies.
