Why is it 2 1 day? Because according to the research results of behavioral psychology, repeating for more than three weeks will form a habit, and repeating for more than three months will form a stable habit. Zhou Shiyuan, a famous expert on habit research in China, said: "American scientists have conducted a lot of experiments on the formation of human habits. Experiments show that it takes 2 1 day to form a habit. Of course, this 2 1 day is an average, and their habits are different. Everyone's seriousness and efforts are different, and the time spent is definitely different. Generally speaking, habits should be developed within one month, and the key is the first three days. "
At first, I doubted the accuracy of this sentence. But in teaching practice, I agree with this sentence more and more. Let's take a look at the effect of my students' training through fixed ears. Sophomore computer major:
When I first went to the square, it was awkward to walk up and down. If I take a few more steps, it will be smooth. When I first walked up to talk, my body was a little out of control, my movements were uncoordinated, and I missed a flight of stairs. I've practiced for several times and I feel better and better. Other students came out to see us, and I didn't feel nervous, so I habitually walked up and finished. Courage comes from practice.
Junior students majoring in accounting:
Through the practice of tempering, I once again realized the word "static". I used to be impetuous and quick, but I didn't pay attention to details in the process. However, through repeated practice, I feel that my heart is slowly "calming down". In particular, I think it is particularly useful for the teacher to count for three seconds before teaching us to speak. Because this method is of great help to my psychological and physical "peace of mind".
Sophomore accounting major:
After a week of "duet" practice, the biggest change in my speech now is that I can't help dancing. There was a lecture on accounting major on Wednesday night, and my friend didn't go. Let me come back and tell her about it after listening. When I told her vividly, she sincerely praised: "I feel immersive when I listen to you!" " "
Junior students majoring in applied economics:
A week passed in a hurry, and I practiced One Man, Eight Hundred pacesetters Running North Slope and Introduction for another week. After a week of practice, I feel "brand-new". I used to feel tired in my abdomen and sore muscles after practicing grammar with my ears. But after this week's practice, I obviously feel less tired after abdominal exercises. I think this is a new stage, and muscles have gradually begun to get familiar with this rhythm. I believe that it won't be long before the muscle memory mentioned by Teacher Yin will appear slowly.
Junior students majoring in international journalism:
I remember in the first class, the teacher told us to practice "being alone" 20 times a day with ear grammar. With the mentality of trying, I began to practice my ear grammar. Once, twice, and three times, I struggled to read "One Man" three times. In the next few days, I couldn't laugh after doing it ten times at a time.
After two weeks of training, although the time is short, I feel some changes. When you speak, your breath seems smoother, and even your language is closer to what you want to express.
Junior students majoring in food science:
Last class, Mr. Yin talked about "three determinations", that is, smile determination, eyes determination and standing determination. The practice of laughing is to read the word "Bao" in front of the mirror. So, I set up a memo on my mobile phone, and I will read the "citation" every time I look at my mobile phone. I will probably watch my mobile phone dozens of times a day.
Every time I look at it, I smile. Gradually, my smile became more natural.
Junior computer major:
These days, I practiced "One Man", "800 Model Soldiers" and "Dear Classmate" in front of the mirror according to the formula of "Ding" mentioned by Teacher Yin. Looking at myself in the mirror, I have completely changed. I'm afraid to taste timidity, but I'm replaced by myself full of confidence and courage. I practiced these simple and incisive dozens of words over and over again, and I was surprised by the changes from the outside to the mainland.
Junior students majoring in applied economics:
Teacher Yin said that my smile was not enough. After finishing this course, I made up my mind to practice the pronunciation of 100 times a day. From practicing 10 minutes every day, to 15 minutes, and then to 20 minutes, until my cheeks are numb, I suddenly find myself insisting on doing one thing. Through practice, I not only improved my smile, but also learned the truth of life that I insisted on for my goal. This week's practice, besides laughing, is to learn to practice and practice persistently.
A sophomore majoring in finance from Hong Kong;
After three weeks of dedicated duet practice, the poem "Facing the sea, bloom is warm in spring" has been deeply integrated into my memory. The process of recitation is no longer just the pursuit of skilled completion of poetry, but every time there is a new feeling, as if it is getting closer and closer to the author's vision. "I can!" * The spirit of this advertisement is well explained by my students! All the above students come from a university jointly run by the Mainland and Hong Kong where I teach. They come from various dialect areas and have no language talent, but after about 2 1 day of training, they have made breakthroughs in their respective language difficulties.
They can, and so can readers and friends! I firmly believe!
Learning to speak is like learning to drive.
Learning to drive has three parts: master teaching, self-practice, and driving on the road. It's like learning martial arts. First, we must imitate the tricks, and imitate the movements of the masters one by one. Second, practice. After learning, you should study hard, practice hard and have perseverance. Finally, innovation, practice makes perfect, creativity and uniqueness. If you have high speech skills, you must go through these three stages of training, just like learning to drive and learn martial arts.
Complex things should be simplified, simple things should be used to.
The training of speaking ability includes two parts: one is training; The second is practice. Training refers to the teacher's teaching guidance, so that students can understand and experience the law of speech; Practice refers to students' practice, in which they master the rules of learning to speak and gradually become their own abilities. Only by combining training with practice can we master this ability.
3. What is the "training" of speech ability training?
The key to teacher training is to have a set of effective training methods. The ancients said that the road leads to simplicity. Every subject has a knack and the simplest learning method.
When studying in Australia, Sun Luhong, a famous trainer, went to an Italian restaurant to wash dishes, but he was much faster than others because he found the knack of washing dishes in practice.
Sun Luhong said: "In the process of baking Italian pizza, the cheese will melt on the plate, so this kind of plate is the most difficult to wash. After a month's exploration, I found a quick and clean way to wash dishes, that is, rinse them with hot water for five seconds, and then put them into the water with ice cubes immediately. The thermal expansion coefficient of cheese is different from that of the plate, so it naturally falls off. "
It can be seen that finding a simple and efficient method can greatly improve the efficiency of learning and doing things.
The fixed ear dance formula is a simple and quick speech training method. It has two characteristics: easy to understand and easy to imitate.
It is easy to understand, that is, it can be understood at once. Books that teach people nutrition and health are at least100000 words, but for ordinary people, they are too professional and cumbersome to make you confused and unable to find the main idea. Hong Zhaoguang, a famous health expert, extracted five words from a 100,000-word book: red, yellow, black, white and green. Red refers to red food, such as tomatoes and sweet potatoes; Yellow refers to yellow food such as corn and oranges; Black refers to auricularia auricula, a food that dredges blood vessels; White refers to oats; Green refers to green tea. Later, it was summed up in eight words: eat everything, enough is enough. You see, this expression is very vivid, and everyone, regardless of age, women and children, understands it at once, which is very easy to understand.
It is very necessary to learn to speak. It is very necessary to speak with air, but the learning method is very professional and difficult. It's hard to say a word or two clearly.
When I first started teaching the course "Speech Ability Training", the biggest problem was that it took me ten years to solve it. Now, in one semester, how can students who have no sound foundation master the correct method of using qi to make sounds? I took great pains to tell them about chest-abdomen combined breathing, but I didn't tell them. Instead, they were confused and couldn't even speak. This forced me to think hard and finally found a way for students to understand at once: whispering. Because the way to whisper is to use air, you must use air in Dantian, and you don't need vocal cord vibration and your throat is not tense. Most importantly, everyone will whisper when they are young. All the students understand this statement.
This is easy to understand.
Second, it is easy to imitate.
To teach people to speak, you can't just rely on others to get information. You must have a tangible training method. Draw a gourd first, so that learners can learn from external imitation, imitate unique skills first, then practice unique skills, and finally create unique skills.
For example, the courage to speak belongs to a person's psychological quality, but "emotions are moving outside", if there is no courage inside, it will be reflected in the person's external body language. For example, the eyes dare not look at people; Stiff facial expression, no smile; Stand askew, etc. Through these external manifestations, we can see at a glance that this person has no confidence in speaking. Then, we can train students' courage by training external body language. For example, teach him how to look at people with his eyes: first look at the audience on the left, then at the audience on the right, and then at the audience in the middle. From imitation to repeated practice, courage can be practiced.
Another example is the practice of vivid speech. Anyone who speaks with emotion must be someone who speaks with gestures and facial expressions. For example, Yu of New Oriental, a famous success expert and Tang Jun, former president of Microsoft China, are all famous speakers. A person who speaks without emotion must speak without gestures and facial expressions. According to this rule, I designed a set of training methods for gestures and facial expressions. As long as you practice hard, you will naturally get rid of the problem of speaking without expression.
4. What is the "practice" of oral ability training?
What is the purpose of practice? Is to let you form the correct speaking habits.
The power of habit is amazing, there is such a fable. After the death of a rich man, he left a large legacy to a distant relative. This relative is a beggar, begging for a living all the year round. After accepting this inheritance, he immediately became a millionaire. A journalist came to interview the lucky beggar: "What is the first thing you want to do after you inherit the inheritance?" The beggar replied, "I want to buy a better bowl and a strong stick, so it will be more convenient to go out and beg." You see, although people have become millionaires, all they think about is how to beg, which shows how much influence habits have on people's words and deeds. Only about 5% of a person's behavior in a day is non-habitual, and the other 95% are habitual. According to the research results of behavioral psychology, repetition for more than three weeks will form a habit, and repetition for more than three months will form a stable habit.
How to learn to speak, this book can teach you an effective method that is easy to understand and easy to remember, but it still depends on your own persistent practice to become your correct speaking habit. If you persist for three weeks, you will form a habit; If you persist for three months, you will form a stable good habit of speaking.
5. The purpose of speech training: muscle memory
Good speaking habits are essentially correct muscle memory. What is muscle memory? For example, playing the piano, when you start learning, your fingers are stiff and clumsy. You have to think and play at the same time, because ten fingers have no memory. And through repeated playing practice, finally, without thinking, fingers can play music smoothly. At this time, it is your hand muscles that form the correct memory.
Correct speaking habits should also become muscle memory.
For example, if some people talk too much, they will have a loud voice and a hoarse voice. These are all caused by wrong speaking habits, and wrong speaking habits must be wrong muscle memory. It was while he was talking that the veins stood out suddenly and the muscles in his throat tightened. This book, through repeated practice of whispering, "occupies both ends and liberates the middle", is to make the muscles of the lower abdomen tense, the muscles of the cheeks and lips tense and the muscles of the throat relax. Once you master the method, you have to practice it repeatedly, and finally it becomes: when you speak, you don't have to think about the essentials of using qi to make sounds, the muscles at the upper and lower ends are tense, and the muscles at the throat automatically relax. This is to form correct muscle memory, even if it is to form correct habits.
Another example is the training of eye gaze, which makes the speaker's eyes communicate with the audience all the time. This is also a kind of muscle memory. Because he didn't dare to look at the speaker under the stage, his eyelids drooped and his eye muscles relaxed. However, the eye muscles of people who always communicate with the audience with bright eyes when talking must be tense and hard, and have formed a correct memory of them. Repeated eye training can make the speaker's eye muscles form a tense and powerful muscle memory, and his eyes are full of spirits when he speaks.
A lively speaker is good at dancing. Dancing is a habit and a muscle memory. As soon as he speaks, his hands and body will automatically start to coordinate their movements. Through gesture training, the speaker can form a muscle memory of dancing and become a habit of speaking.
