Learn, Teach and Travel with TESOL Certification

The language barriers can be divided into three parts

1. Speech use disorders: clinically known as aphasia, mainly manifested as serious non-fluent speech, while the sentence is simple, short, language defects;

2. Speech processing defect syndrome: also known as speech disorders, mainly expressive language disorders;

3. Phone-syntactic defect syndrome: also known as phonetic syntactic disorder, it is manifested as phonetic problems of phonetic disorder syndrome, but the degree is more serious and accompanied by grammatical problems.

When we explore in different country, phonetic syntactic disorder is the most seriously problem. But what can we do to help those students like me who want to learn English well as a second language in China? Except for what we have learned from TESOL, I believe Social interaction theory (representative figures: Bruner , Bates Features:

  The social interaction theory, or the Social Interaction Systems Theory, was developed by Robert Freed Bales. At that time, Bales was a pioneer at Harvard University‘s Social Relations department. The project, from which this theory was developed, was meant to develop an integrative framework for social psychology. This was supposed to be based on the social interaction process, supplemented with value analysis on the content of the interaction. Bales believed that this personal approach went much further than the classical experimental approach to the study of group dynamics.

Social interaction theory regards children and their language environment as a dynamic system. It is believed that children are not passive beneficiaries of language training, but actively participate in language processing according to their own purposes and intentions.

  (Social interaction theory extends the factors involved in nature and nurture interaction to social environment, cognitive development, language knowledge, innate maturity, and holds that language develops under the interaction of these factors. Emphasize the role of social communication in language development.

Social interaction theory acknowledges that speech acts are governed by certain rules, that language acquisition is based on certain physiological maturity and cognitive development, and that observation and imitation play roles in language acquisition. Reflects the fact that children actively construct language in the process of language development. Children learn language not only in cognitive activities, but also in the process of communication. Over-emphasis is placed on language input, while the psychological processes of language processing are neglected. There are also different views on the effect of human language on children's language development.

As described above, different roles help to construct the social order. Taking on different roles, however, also has another effect. They can influence or form a personality. The idea is that when people assume a new role, the expectations of that role can change the way we interact with others. Also how we see and treat ourselves can change because of it.

An example was given by professor George Kirkham, criminal law professor in the United States. During his classes, Kirkham was critical of the harshness with which the police treated suspects. One of the police officers present in his class commented that Kirkham could not say such a thing, because he did not know what it is like to be a police officer. They challenged him to do the basic training at the police academy. After finishing the basic training, Kirkham joined a few officers on their shifts. During the first shift, they were asked to go to a cafe where a drunk man was causing trouble. Kirkham asked the man to go outside. Instead of listening, the trouble maker hit Kirkham in the face. During another event, they were called to a situation where bystanders stood around their car in a threatening way. Kirkham showed his weapon in order to keep the bystanders at a distance. He later said that as a professor, he would judge the officer he had become on his behaviour. In a short period of time, Kirkham had gone from nice professor to a serious police officer. His role had changed, and to a certain degree, probably also his personality. In any case, his views had.

In short, listen more, read more, think more, practice more, by a one syllable accurately, to flow freely and harness every syllable, and even the slight change in place to deal with, speech defects can effectively make up for, even basic overcome: will by imitating others voice tone, and form their own self-confidence, language expression and toward the standard, perfect English goal, English expression level will be gradually improved.
