📌如何歸納單字?

歸哪時要確保分類有使用上的意義:

閱讀與聽力
theme-based chunks (主題分類語塊)

interdisciplinary chunks (跨領域語塊)

Focussing on lexical chunks is a useful way to look at language and to extend learners' control of it. For example, learners can spend a little time at the end of a reading comprehension exercise identifying chunks in the text and analysing them, or identifying other contexts they might be found in.

[專頁公告] 英文學習「生態系」更新

English Learning Ecosystem Update

As I began exploring Instagram, I struggled to find a way to deliver useful academic content. Instagram posts typically focus on images, short clips, and concise text, which are attention grabbing but not always entirely conducive to language learning. I looked over the posts of established Instagram English learning accounts, and experimented with vocabulary posts and even news posts for a couple of weeks. Not wanting to post just images, I thought about creating something new even with the rigid format of the platform.

當我開始研究怎麼用IG，我想盡了各種辦法，希望能提供大家一些實用的學術內容。 IG 的特色著重在圖片、短片以及簡潔的文字，這樣的方式雖然很容易引人注目，卻不全然有助於語言學習。我瀏覽了 IG 上英文教學網紅的貼文，並在這幾週嘗試發了一些學術單字與新聞相關的文章。我並不想只是發一些圖片，而思考著要如何在既有框架下創作一些新的東西。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

A tenet of using tech in education is to engage students with what they are familiar with, not give them an entirely new platform that is difficult to use. So, how could I create a new series of Instagram posts that is both educational and unique? I thought about my goal to disseminate academic English resources, and how I could leverage my experience as a curriculum writer and voice recording artist for public school textbooks.

一個使用科技進行教育的原則是用學生熟悉的方式與他們互動，而非用了全新的平台卻使他們難以學習。那麼，我應該如何創作獨特且具教育意義的一系列全新 IG 發文呢？我想到了我傳遞學術英文資源的目標，以及思考到該如何發揮身為教科書編輯者與音頻錄製者的經驗。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

So far, this is what I have at the moment. I will post Word of the Day (每日一詞), high frequency vocabulary words that you see in academic texts and sometimes on the news. These Tier 2 academic vocabulary words are not exclusive to a single domain and complement the theme-based approach I’ve taken with my mind-mapping vocabulary class. You can find other vocabulary learning methods here.

這是我目前所想到的內容：我會發布「每日一詞」，也就是學術文章或是新聞中有時出現的高頻字彙。這些Tier 2學術詞彙並不限於單個領域，更補充了我在心智圖詞彙攻略課程中採用的主題式學習法。你還可以在下面網站找到其他詞彙學習方法。

In these posts, I added the pronunciation, collocation, and example sentences of each word for students. These words will be helpful to university-level students who often read academic texts and the news. Students can access them by simply clicking on the hashtag 學術英語單字.

在這些貼文中，我為學生提供了發音、搭配用法和例句。這些單字會對經常閱讀學術文章和新聞的大學程度學生有所幫助。學生只要點貼文上的＃學術英語單字即可看到貼文。

To help students use more precise and common academic phrases, I then added Academic Phrases (每日一句), set phrases that appear in both academic speech and writing. These phrases have varying functions from introducing a topic to comparing and contrasting ideas. There is a difference between speech and writing, so I picked words that could be used for both. If one is used only in a specific context, I will make note of it in the video recording. This series of posts will help students with language output, and can be found under the following hashtag 學術英語片語.

為了幫助學生使用更精準、更道地的常見學術用語，我們接著會進入「每日一句」，也就是在學術演說與寫作中常見的用語。這些片語具有不同的功能，範圍涵蓋介紹主題到比較、對比想法等等。而演講和寫作之間也有不同，所以我選擇了都可以使用的片語。如果只能在特定情況下使用，我會在影片中特別說明。該系列文章將會幫助學生提高語言輸出能力，可以在 # 學術英語片語找到。

Last, I will follow up with an abridged version of breaking news (時事英文) with high frequency collocations and audio recordings. This will provide students with the input of not only individual words, but how to use them in output (speech and writing) with context. While all these news posts might seem independent at first, I will eventually link and organize them by theme when there are enough posts. Along with my news class, these extra posts will help students stay aware of current events, acquire set phrases used in journalism, and develop critical thinking. These posts can currently be found under the hashtag EEL時事英文.

最後，我們會跟進精簡版的「時事英文」，其中包含高頻搭配詞與錄音資料。這些內容不僅可以提供你們輸入單字，而且可以幫助你們知道如何搭配情境輸出，再將這些內容使用在口說與寫作中。這些貼文一開始雖然看似獨立，當素材足夠後我會再將他們進行連結與整理。這些貼文和我的新聞課程將幫助學生維持對時事的敏銳度，掌握新聞中使用的固定用法，並養成批判性思維。這些貼文目前可以在 # EEL時事英文。

There is a lot more I want to do to create an ecosystem of free academic English learning materials. I will continue modifying our post format to meet your needs, but these are my plans for Instagram thus far. Join us on our journey to make bilingual academic English resources more readily available to all! Let’s continue to learn and grow together!

建立免費的學術英文學習系統是件大工程，我會持續修改我們發文的格式以符合你們的需求與習慣，這些只是我目前 IG 學術英語學習計畫的一部分。加入我們的旅程來讓雙語的學術英文資源更加普及！讓我們一起學習與成長！

用心智圖學英文+抽獎活動
什麼是心智圖？這與英語學習有什麼關係？
What is mind mapping? What does it have to do with English learning?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
簡而言之，心智圖是以圖表的方式，視覺地呈現並組織資訊。在英語學習裡，它時常被用於幫助學生腦力激盪與主意間的連結。然而，心智圖也有助於學生學習詞彙，並連接片語及完整概念。例如，核心主題為經濟學 (economics)，那麼兩個主要的分支可以是政府政策 (government policy) 與市場經濟 (market economy)。在市場經濟 (market economy) 中，學生可以學到買與賣 (buying and selling)、供給與需求 (supply and demand)、消費者行為與消費 (consumer behavior and consumption)，以及其他相關片語。如此一來，學生可以迅速聯想與連結這些單字與概念。
如果他們聽到或讀到像供給與需求 (supply and demand)這樣的片語，他們自然會對消費 (consumption)、價格 (price)、替代品 (substitute goods) 等相關資訊有所準備。此一能力可增進閱讀與聽力的理解力，因為在讀到或聽到這些詞彙時，他們知道哪些資訊將會出現。當學生遇到新資訊，他們也會有先備知識與字彙作為基礎，幫助他們找到關聯並加以理解。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
在口說與寫作中，心智圖可以包含:
★句子的開頭 (sentence starters)
一般而言 (generally speaking)、在這種情況下(in this context)、更具體來說 (to be more specific)
★過渡片語 (transitional phrases)
另一個原因是 (another reason is that)、另一方面 (on the other hand)、誠然，無可否認 (admittedly）
★與主題有關的語塊 (theme-based lexical chunks)
牛市 (a bullish market)、持續的經濟增長 (sustained economic growth)、繁榮的經濟 (a thriving economy)
在有意義的主意塊架構下，單詞、片語、詞彙語法的這種連接，能使學生更精準且自動地進行口說與書寫。與其以獨立的單詞來組成句子，學生將得以使用固定的語塊（有意義且更完整的概念）。例如，學生可能想表達「台灣今年的經濟成長率修正為1.56％」。他們通常會將此一想法逐字翻譯，並翻出像是「Taiwan's economy grow will be fixed to 1.56% this year」的句子。當學生須先逐字翻譯單詞時，此一過程既費力又錯漏百出，即便能夠翻譯，他們也沒有時間在自然語言及限時寫作中，思索語法規則的細微差異。使用語塊可以減少這些問題。舉例來說，使用固定語塊作為句子的輸出，其樣貌可能如下：
Economics
Taiwan's GDP/economic growth (set chunk) this year is projected to reach (set chunk) 1.56 percent (data).
Taiwan's official statistics bureau (content words) has lowered its forecast (set chunk) for the country's economic growth (set chunk) to 1.56 percent this year (data).
Taiwan's government has revised its GDP growth forecast (set chunk) for 2020 to 1.56 percent (data).
Taiwan's economy, a key part of (set chunk) the global technology supply chain (content words), is expected to grow 1.56% this year (data).
★★★★★★★★★★★★
儘管如此，心智圖跟其他學習方式與工具一樣，並非沒有缺點。倘若學習者從未接觸這些，他們將完全無法憑一己之力想出單詞、片語及概念。當學生毫不了解基本的經濟學概念時，他們該如何使用心智圖來學習經濟學？此外，對於沒有詞彙基礎的初學者來說，心智圖可能涵蓋了過多的資訊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
因此，本課程旨在以心智圖提供學生一個得以與其他方式及策略相結合的學習方法。新詞彙的出現將伴隨著學生所熟悉的資訊，以協助他們建立連結（例如：消費 consumption→新單字；購買商品 buy goods →舊單詞）。所有詞彙都使用主題式英語教學，同時也結合了其他方式，包括（但不限於）字根 (roots)、搭配詞 (collocation)、詞彙語法 (lexical grammar)以及學科內容知識(content knowledge)。此外，也將教授其他策略，來幫助學生成為自主學習者，他們可以在不同的情境中，思考並決定最好的學習方式。心智圖並非我們詞彙學習的萬靈丹。它是一項能夠幫助我們組織想法，並運用多種方式進行學習的工具。
