Listening & Speaking VS Reading & Writing

　　Writing with its pronunciation is the obvious characteristic of English, it can lead us to use them(Listening, speaking, reading, writing even translating) with people easier, English's also a kind of language, it contains a lot of things，it's a unity too.So we can't dispart it constrainedly as something lying isolatedly(for example,Listening, speaking, reading, writing and so on)， we either shouldn't stress that which is the most important one in it,

　　This is just a problem of sequence, linguists and language learners have been debating about it for many years, and the problem of sequence has been distinct gradually, we can feel it and know which one should be placed on the front.

　　The result's that we should place the listening and speaking first!

　　Louis Alexander who is the world-renowned linguist of English teaching and the editor of NEW CONCEPT ENGLISH .he is a co-author of advocating this fundamental idea of listening and speaking first. The learning sequence in the book is spelled out in the book to be as follows:

　　"nothing should be spoken before it has been heard"

　　"nothing should be read before it has been spoken "

　　"nothing should be written before it has been read"

　　Maybe it's a little bit difficult for us to grasp all of them immediately, but we can get the two sentence easliy: "nothing should be spoken before it has been heard" and " nothing should be written before it has been read", it has showed us something clearly: "Where there's reek there's heat", it also runs through my whole teaching thinking. Listening and speaking are more outstanding and straightforward than reading and writing in the communication of a kind of any languges, of course, we have to treat it with dialectical unification and in the round. but, my meaning is just about the sequence, the question of listening and speaking first, not saying that reading and writing are not important. They are all important.

　　译文：

　　通过音可以写词--这样就成为英语明显的特性之一，它指导着我们更容易地去使用这些语言习得技巧（听，说，读，写甚至翻译）。英语，它是一门语言，包罗万象，同时它也是一个整体。因此，我们不可以强制地把它分成若干部分而孤立存在（比如听，说，读，写等等），我们也不应该过分强调它们当中哪个才是最重要的。

　　这只不过是个顺序问题，为这个顺序问题，语言学家和语言学习者斗争了许多年，顺序问题也就渐渐清晰了，我们似乎可以

感觉出来，是哪个部分应该放在前面。

　　结果是：我们将听力和口语优先考虑。

　　L.G亚历山大，世界著名的语言学家、“新概念英语”的主编，他也是一个共同倡导听力和口语优先这一基本想法的作者。

一系列问题在书本中阐述如下：

　　“听过方能 说”

　　“说过方能 读（阅）”

　　“读（阅）过方能 写”

　　也许，对于我们来说，要一下子完全领会这些意思可能有点难，但是我们可以很容易地明白这两句话：“听过方能说”和“读（阅）过方能写”，它也告诉了我们非常明朗的道理：有因才有果（无风不起浪），它也是贯穿着我教学思想的始末。听和说在任何语言交流中，比读和写更突出、更直接。当然，我们得全面地、辨证统一地看待这些问题。，不过，我这里讲的，只是顺序，听和说优先的顺序。不是说读和写不重要。它们都很重要。
