2、感和汉语语感一样成为人脑的一种功能，而不是只做到肤浅的记忆，今天学明天忘。我们是这样做到的：1） 和学习母语一样，先让“听”来触动大脑的感觉，再让“说”来反馈“听”的信息，能听会说之后，读写学习就会相对容易，同时“读”和“写”又能促进和加深记忆。2） 英语首先是工具，学来就用，越用越熟悉，不能当学科去研究，那将越研究越糊涂。3） 遵循语言在人脑形成的自然过程，训练学习者大脑形成英语语感。语感如乐感，人脑对乐曲的识别全凭感觉，乐谱只不过是对不同音感的符号标识，人脑对语言的识别也是全凭感觉。这种感觉是人脑的功能。2 根据学习者所处环境设置的目前世界上最为先进的 ESL 教学理念第二语言特征的理解记
3、忆+母语化的思维习惯训练真正的“母语化”教学就好像婴儿学母语一样，全部的交流只能用一种语言完成，母亲怎么说孩子就怎么说。这样的学习效果当然是最理想的。如果学习者移民到英语母语国家，也是可以做到的。但是，对于生活在中国的孩子，单纯的英语母语教学却不能做到和美国孩子一样的效果。而中国学校里惯用的语法、词汇题海式学习法，让学习者或者高分低能，或者越学越复杂，或者哑巴英语，记得不如忘得多。1） 中国孩子只有在课堂中使用英语交流，其它时间全部用汉语母语交流。这样一来，即使想在短短的课堂时间里做到老师怎么说学生就怎么说，也要依靠记忆的帮助，单纯的模仿学习如果达不到一定的频率，很容易遗忘。2） 汉语语言和英
4、语语言属于不同的语系。对于中国孩子来说，短时间内的单纯模仿学习很难做到自然而然正确使用复杂的英语语法。3） 如果像中国学校里的学习一样，让学生强行记忆英语语法和词汇，多年的实践已经证明，那样只能让学生感到错综复杂，记忆困难，永远也无法形成正确的英语语感。阿斯顿英语的整个教学体系是按照“第二语言特征的理解记忆”+“母语化的思维习惯训练”来设置的。1） 教材体系按照第二语言学习规律、人脑遗忘规律、不同学习阶段的使用频率需求，等进行编写，源于美国的少儿口语专家源于美国的少儿口语专家 ADD: Suite 2003,YueXiu Mansion 82 Xinkai Road,Xi Gang Distr
