New Year's Resolution - 2021. 新年打算
Stick to my spare time English teaching hobby, moving forward in a relatively larger scale so as to benefit more with what I think a better way of learning English. I am interested in exploring things that is benefitial to three parties, learners, oneself, and society. Delivering education program to a larger group with a small or no cost will bnefit students; the achievement of helping people contributes to the satisfaction of self-realization, both of which will do good to the scociety as a whole. This small target, I think, is achievable.
It is feasible to achive in half a year a relatively good feel for English language, the sprachgefuhl(语感), with a gradual buildup of students' ability of nice pronunciation with shadowing and repeating of sentences in quite an English way of sounding; to have a basic mastery of the framework of English grammar, (still, gradually, and roughly in another half year). With a continuation of the improvement of feelings of the language, students are being introduced and helped with an establishment of a preliminary reading habit, with simple and fun materials as a start. Meanwhile, starting the covering of the 850 core English words.
In a word, to let more people understand and participate in such a learning project, to master the indispensable essence of English language in a short time.
I have completed an experimental class with a small group of students and achieved the goal in three years. The children who participated in the program all performed well in their schools, and are all on top in class on English subject. Moreover, I've got quite some valuable lessons and experiences from those years of teaching practice.
Today I am working on a new class, for several months already, a small one as before but with ages ranging a bit greatly from a young pre-school kid, and mostly grade one or two, to a senior being over 60. They are all doing well. They all work hard and get a lot, even though they have much work to do at school and have not much time for out-of-scholl English learning, and, that's the reason that I slow the program progess a bit to leave them more time to assimilate. That also gives me more leisure time, to enable me to have a New Year Resolution as this, to have more students, as I feel that I have extra time and energy to handle more.
Below is some recordings of them, you can see that they are all good in pronunciation already, flow and rhythm are natural. Even though they are only mimicing and shadowing, it's already a remarkable achievement to reach such a level from a Zero language background in five months. They can be said to have got the feeling of the language already.

2021新年打算
微图小志。继续业余英语教学爱好的发展，扩大一下。尝试向规模化前行。把自己认为比较好的英语学习方式介绍给给更多人。
已经完成了一个班的周期学习，达到了预期目的，三年基本就完成了上述目标，尽管他们只达到我要求的一半，但参加学习的孩子们在学校里没有英语落后的。
现在又开了一个新的学习班，进行了几个月了，初期目标已经达到了，发音很象样，语感基本有了。听听他们的学习录音就能感觉出来。 后续学习也按计划推进。 小的是学龄前儿童，老的是六十岁以上了，但发音都有长足的进步，尤其是从零基础学起的孩子，仿读的发音和语调基本没有本族语的味道了。
第一个班的经验教训是，需要强制性要求把重要的句型和单词写熟，养成写的习惯； 还要进行阅读的提早培养（泛读）。这些通过减少新材料的学习量的来完成（精读更精练，泛读跟上）。
做这件事比较有意义，利人利己利社会。利人让更多的英语初学者多一个较快地获取重要的英语系统知识的渠道； 利公为社会培养积蓄后备人才贡献点力量。这事对自己也不是负担也没坏处，还能丰富业余生活。
从听说读写来方面，半年英语听说的语感建立起来，半年英语阅读的感觉和习惯初步涉猎，再半年把英语的基本框架给与介绍归纳，再半年，伴随着英语语言点的持续学习，把850个核心单词也进行尽可能多的学习覆盖，同时继续英语阅读的感觉的提高，继续语言点的可理解输入。这样两到三年就已经算是“学会英语”了，尽管还不是“学好英语”。
授之以渔，起到师傅领进门的作用，让学习者为以后在学校学习英语或自己进行深入学习打下牢固的基础。
这样的小目标的实现还是可期的： 让更多人了解和参加这一学习项目，短期内掌握少而精的不可或缺的英语精华部分。
所以，今年的新年愿望就是扩大一下这个学习项目的学生规模，在更广泛的人群中完善这一学习项目。
