资源信息： Introduction What is English fluency?What does it mean to speak English easily and automatically? My definition is simple-- you speak Englishautomatically when your speech is effortless. You speak fluent English when the wordscome out of your mouth-- without translation and without hesitation. Sometimes this is called “thinking in English”, buttruly automatic speech is even faster than that-- there is no thinking. Youdonʼt thinkabout the language at all- you just speak as easily and effortlessly as you do withyour native language. Why is automatic fluent speech important?Itʼs importantbecause automatic English speaking is the key to getting results withEnglish. Automatic speaking makes it easy to connect with native speakers.

By mastering specific techniques in each area, youwill powerfully improve your English speaking ability.Your speech will become faster and you will begin tospeak English automatically. Each of these three areas is important and each contributes to the power of the Effortless EnglishTeaching System. When we talk about “Body” in Effortless English, weare mostly talking about emotion. Emotion is energy. Emotion is what gives us theenergy and the motivation to study every day. Emotion gives us the confidence tospeak. Positive emotion helps us to learn faster, whilenegative emotions slow our learning. To learn very quickly, we must learn to master ouremotions-- and that requires mastery of our body. In the Effortless English System, “Mind” meansbeliefs and focus. Our beliefs about learning, education, and our own abilities stronglyinfluences our learning ability. Powerful beliefs lead to powerful learning, whileweak beliefs lead to slow learning. Unfortunately, in school most of us learned veryweak beliefs. Therefore, most English students lack confidence. They feel nervous aboutEnglish. They think they are “not good at English”. They believe that Englishspeaking is very difficult. None of these beliefs are true. Finally, to improve English speaking quicklystudents must master the Effortless English “Method”. “Method” refers to the specific teachingand learning techniques that we use in the system. In the method section, you learnexactly how to study and exactly what kinds of lessons to use. Method is very important, but students absolutelymust first master Body & Mind in order to speak English easily. Remember, each partof the Effortless English System is vital-- you must master all three areas in order tomaster English speaking. www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com Method Body Mind Body (&Emotion) The first step to Englishspeaking mastery is to master your body & emotions. This seems like astrange statement. Why do you need to use your body to learn English? The reason is simple, by using your body andemotions you can learn English 4-5 times faster! Dr. James Asher, alanguage teaching expert, researched the role of the body inlanguage learning. He found something quite amazing-- students who physicallymoved their bodies in class learned 4-5 times faster than students who sat still duringclass. Dr. Asher developed an entire teaching programusing movement called “Total Physical Response”. In this program, students always movetheir body while learning English. Specifically, students make strong gestures ormovements related to the language they hear. For example, when the teacher says “walk”, thestudents move their feet and “walk”. If the teacher says “hungry” the students might rubtheir stomach. In the beginning, students do movements for almost every sentencethey hear. Later, when they reach intermediate and advanced levels, they focus ononly new or difficult sentences. By combining physical movement with Englishlistening, you push the English deep into your brain. You remember vocabulary faster and younever forget it. You remember correct grammar too- even though you never studygrammar rules. Physical movement and gestures are the key to fast learning and along memory. So when you listen to English lessons, identify thedifficult sentences. Create a movement or gesture that reminds you of themeaning. Then, every time you hear that sentence, do the movement or gesture. When you dothe movement, do it powerfully. Use all of your body and use a lot of energy. Posture is another important part of body andemotional mastery. Here is an interesting fact-- you learn faster and remembermore when you have good posture. In other words, you learn faster when you hold yourhead high, your shoulders are back, your chest is up, and your body is strong andbalanced. On the other hand, when you put your head down yourenergy decreases-- and you learn more slowly. When you let your shoulders dropforward you lose energy-- and you learn more slowly. So always keep your chest up,your shoulders back, and your head up while you listen to English lessons. This issimple, but very important. Finally, there is one super-simple secret toincreasing your emotional energy while learning: SMILE. Did you know that your learningability increases when you smilewww. EffortlessEnglishClub.com Movement Gestures Posture Smile and decreases when youfrown! Smiling changes your body and your emotion. Your energy increases. You become more alert. Your brainbecomes more open. I know it seems very simple- and it is. Yet thisone small change can powerfully improve your English learning: Every time you listen to anEnglish lesson, smile. Smile big! You might feel strange, but every time you listento a lesson put a huge smile on your face. Keep that big smile on your face during theentire lesson and never stop smiling until the lesson is finished. The body is a powerful energy source. By using eachof these simple techniques, you increase your energy while learning. Because youhave more energy, you learn faster and you remember more. So use physical movement,always have a strong posture, and smile, smile, smile while learning. www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com Mind Our beliefs stronglyinfluence our results. Oftentimes, we succeed when we believe we will succeed-- and we fail whenwe think we will fail. In other words, our Mind influences ourlearning ability. To learn faster and better, we must master ourmind. Specifically, we must master our beliefs and our ideas. As a successful adult, you are highly intelligent.Yet, you probably have a lot of negative beliefs about your English learningability. Some common negative beliefs include: * English speaking is difficult * Iʼm not good at English * Iʼm nervous when I speak English * I must speak English perfectly every time * I canʼt make mistakes * There is only one right answer * I must memorize and follow all grammar rules * People from my country canʼt speak Englishwell * Itʼs impossible to speak English easily andquickly Where did these beliefs come from? For most people,these beliefs were created in school. Very few children believe these things.When I taught small children it was very easy, because they were fearless. Theybelieved that English was fun (and I encouraged them to believe that). The children alsobelieved that speaking English was easy. They never worried about mistakes. Theywerenʼtnervous. The children in my class gradually learned to speak with nearlyperfect grammar, yet they never studied grammar rules. Unfortunately, in Middle School, High School, andUniversity, most students learn new negative beliefs. Their teachers force the studentsto memorize grammar rules and take tests. Students learn to believe that there isonly one right answer for every question. They learn to fear mistakes. In school,students are embarrassed to make mistakes-- and thus they fear speaking. By the time they are adults, most English speakershave many negative beliefs about speaking English. These beliefs destroy theirconfidence. These beliefs, therefore, destroy their motivation. Most adult Englishlearners feel stressed and nervous. To speak English easily, you must DESTROY thesenegative beliefs! Tell yourself every day: These beliefs are wrong! These beliefs arebullshit!
