Yi-Hua遊學網誌系列006 - 關於學英文這檔事

小女子在下我來到墨爾本,雖然玩樂為重、學習為次,
不過英文還是要在乎一下啦~
如果單純只是想學英文的話,我覺得這樣的成本實在太高了,
對我而言,體驗在國外生活一陣子才是最重要的。

不過因為想要認識朋友、讓生活更順利、想知道週遭發生什麼事情,
所以學習的動力的確變得比較強烈,
再加上年紀大了,不怕丟臉,一切都變得比較敢了。

我唸的語言學校大致上分兩種課程,

一種是GE,偏重說聽,
可用於生活之中,總共是十級(GE10最高);

一種是AYA,也就是學術課程,為準備考試而設計,總共三級,

不過如果沒有通過測驗,就必須留在原級。

GE5與AYA1的程度相當,只是兩者側重的目標不同。

第一天考完試之後,我被分到AYA2。
學術課程其實是我的代辦幫我選的,我來了才知道,也就上下去了。
我的同學之中,有很多的舊生(已上過好幾個月了),
甚至有兩個英文系學生(日韓各一),
所以一開始的時候,我就感到程度有些落後,
心情有些沮喪…還好墨爾本的環境撫平我的失落感,
漸漸地,也比較抓得住學習的節奏了。

我很喜歡我們的老師和課程,非常活潑而且實用,
教學的方法十分有效,讓我不禁遺憾於台灣的語言教學方式,
實在有很大的進步空間啊~

我們每天都有作業,每兩個禮拜要念一本書,
然後口頭報告與寫review,每個禮拜大概寫兩篇作文,
而今天進行了第一次的月考。看起來很重,其實壓力不大,
每天和同學一起學習,我還挺開心的。
我也很喜歡這裡的課堂文化—強調協同合作,而非競爭;
考試是為了知道哪裡匱乏,而不是為了成績。
亞洲國家裡有許多太本末倒置的學習文化。

雖然來到全英文的環境,自己的努力還是蠻重要的,
每天五小時的課之後,還是得多念點書,
然後找機會和別人對話,就會感覺有進步,即便十分緩慢。
所以,會進步多少,看個人情況囉~
不要期待太大,也不要太缺乏自信。

找回那種純粹的學習樂趣,真的很開心!
