Abstract

As we know, to most Chinese students the learning and communication of English are very hard. The result of English learners in China is "dumb English" and "Chinglish". They spend ten years of time learning a lot of the fundamentals of English, but they still can not use English freely. The reason is that English learners in China prefer using their first language (Chinese) to learn language rules by memorizing and doing a lot of exercises (for example, the vocabulary and grammar) to using the language rules to understand language inputs (including listening and reading) and to guide language outputs (including speaking and writing). Few Chinese students try to find the rules of language from language inputs and form a systematic mode of English learning.
According to the relevant knowledge of the applied linguistics, this paper analyzes the process of the acquisition of the native language and argues that the learning of the second language and the foreign language should simulate the process of the native language acquisition. English learners are supposed to build a systematic mode of English learning to replace the traditional low-effective less effective, non-systematic mode. Moreover, the author of this paper claims that movie-learning can be an effectual approach to build up building the systematic mode of English learning according to relevant theory of SLA (Second Language Acquisition) and his own experience of learning English, although this approach has some advantages and is not perfect.

I am trying to ascertain what you are thinking when you write 'the second language and the foreign language.' Are you thinking that they are two separate subjects? It seems redundant to say the same subject twice, as it does not add any emphasis in my mind when I hear it. I could add criticisms to this presentation, but that is not the purpose of this forum. However, I am glad that you are studying the situation to make second language learning easier and useful.
