【從哥大教授們寄來的 emails 裡，我發現了ㄧ生受用的字彙、文法學習觀念】

一直到現在，在禮拜一的時候，還是會常收到從哥大的教授們寄過來，有關研討會、論文徵稿、工作等等的資訊。趁昨天下午有一點閒暇時間，把以前到現在的 emails 整理了一下，也做了一點語料分析。

✔︎ 下面是一點點的數據，大家有沒有發現什麼呢？

【2018 年】
• Apr 8
...may find this recently-published article interesting.

• Oct 29
Interested individuals should contact XYZ directly.

【2019 年】
• Mar 4
This article should interest you.

• May 6
The attached article may be of interest to those of you...

• Nov 25
If interested, please contact....

• Dec 9
MA students having an interest in TBLT should check this out.

這 6 句話來自於不封不同時期的 email，由兩位紐約哥倫比亞大學教授所發出。在最自然的狀況、語料之下，你可以看到「各式各樣」和 "interest" 相關的用法、句型、跟語塊。

然而我們看看傳統的教材、和正規英語教育下，老師教我們怎麼學習 interest 的呢？

『interested 過去分詞。。。interesting 現在分詞。。。台灣的某個角落，有一間教室中迴盪著對於英文文法死記、背誦的聲音。』

我們的英文文法教育有沒有將我們準備好，正確地去理解、並流暢無礙地產出像上面六句話的真實語料呢？

現已退休的第二語言習得大師 Bill VanPatten 教授曾經說過，學習「字彙」時不可以忽略字彙和文法的相關性。"They go hand in hand. They're inextricably linked! (字彙跟文法是息息相關的)" 他常常振振有詞地在 conference 上說。

➠ 的確，學習 accuse （控告)，怎麼能不學 accuse sb of sth 呢？
➠ 的確，學習 suggest，不學文法規範，注定用出 suggest sb to V. 的錯誤台式英文
➠ 的確，學習 succeed (成功)，不學文法規範，就會把 succeed in 錯用成 succeed to

✔︎ 字彙的多樣性、字詞搭配、文法搭配，在學習字彙的時候，缺一不可。

2/14 (五) 我在新竹創勝文教分部有一場「改變一生英文文法、搭配詞公開課」。

我將用90分鐘，基於40年第二語言習得研究結果，從兩個英語核心「文法」和「搭配詞」與大家分享要怎麼樣學習，才能讓我們脫離「年年學英文，年年從頭學」、「字字是英文，句句非英文」的兩大現象。

✔︎ 英文口說想講好？英文寫作想寫好？你可能都要從文法、搭配詞開始打底。

公開課一秒報名: https://www.accupass.com/event/2001301122236271790850

Venue: 新竹市光復路2段295號20樓之2 (帝國經貿大樓，馬偕醫院對面)

Time: 2/14 (五) 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm (7:00 pm 開放入場)

✔︎ 新竹以外欲觀賞公開課的同學，請直接在下方留言，清楚說明要線上試聽改變一生文法、搭配詞公開課，謝謝！(我的文法搭配詞公開課，適合多益500分以上的同學。多益500分以下的同學，請索取Elsie yang 老師的聽力發音公開課或Elsie Ma 老師的聽說讀寫先修公開課， thank you!

我這個外國人沒想過住台灣我也可以做一件事。。。 學英文！
雖然教英文超過十年，講英文更久，來到台灣我才學到這五個英文單字
有的是因為不是美國的用詞有的是因為用這些詞的頻率很低，有的可能只有台灣在用。
來看看你平常講英文會不會用到這些讓外國人對你”哈???“ 的英文單字！

有經常在用嗎？ 留言跟我說～
可以想到別的嗎？ 留言跟我說～
覺得我講的不太對？ 可以走開。。。 開玩笑啦！ 留言跟我說～

很歡迎任何一種反應! 謝謝！！！

***English closed captions on video to come***

I never thought that coming to Taiwan I could do one thing... LEARN ENGLISH!

Even though I've taught English for over 10 years, and spoken it for even longer, I only learned these 5 English vocabulary words after moving to Taiwan.

Some of them I didn't know because they're not used in American English. Some of them I didn't know because we use them VERY rarely in the United States. Some of them may just be used in Taiwan.

Come see if you use these English words that may make a foreigner look at you and go, "Huh???"

Do you use these words often? Comment and tell me!
Do you know any other words like these? Comment and tell me!
Do you think I said something that's not quite correct? Go away... JUST KIDDING! Comment and tell me!

All feedback and opinions are welcome~ Thanks!!!

Of course we should punish vice. No doubt about it. But mere punishment does not help tackle the real problem. And the real problem is some students struggle to keep pace with others. They're falling behind. They NEED extra help. But what's supposed to be their saviour—their teachers—don't bother to help! They turn a blind eye.

We can't pretend this problem doesn't exist. It does exist. There is so much more teachers could do to help those who struggle with learning. I know some teachers from other schools upload videos on YouTube regularly for their students so that they can learn at their own pace. They realise that effective teaching transcends time and place. Perhaps our teachers could do something similar?

vice (n) 不道德行為 e.g. We should reward virtue and punish vice.

transcend (v) 超越 e.g. The best films are those which transcend national or cultural barriers.

As far back in time as we can imagine, people throughout the world have sought help from fortune-tellers. Crystal ball reading, fortune sticks predictions, astrology, palm reading, tarot cards, Bazi and many more have had strong appeal. Why do people like going to fortune-tellers? That's the first question we'd like to address. I believe no one would need fortune telling when choosing between meal A and meal B in a restaurant. That'd be really silly, wouldn't it? But when it comes to choosing a husband, finding a job, buying a stock, some people go to fortune-tellers. Because they're afraid of making wrong choices which can cause serious trouble: a failed marriage(a divorce), a fruitless job search, a bad investment. I believe fear and uncertainty about the future is the main reason why people seek supernatural help.
