1
In a 2019 study, over 400 participants were enlisted to learn a mysterious, invented language.
2
Individuals were asked about three pairs of runes.
3
For example, which of these two characters represents an animal?
4
Then, after a brief break,
5
they were asked about the same rune pairs, with questions flipped.
6
As in, which of these two runes represents a non-living object?
7
But this game had a secret.
8
The subject's answers in round one determined the rune's meanings in round two.
9
In the first round, participants either had all their answers marked as correct,
10
no matter what, or they were forced to fail every question.
11
This meant that at the break,
12
every participant had the same amount of information.
13
And in round two, they were playing for real.
14
But despite this even playing field,
15
the successful participants from round one rose to the top of the ranks,
16
while those cast as failures kept, well, failing.
17
People often describe failure as a teachable moment,
18
a necessary stumble on our way to improvement.
19
But learning from our mistakes isn't always easy,
20
especially when those failures are demoralizing,
21
overwhelming, or just downright confusing.
22
So what exactly prevents us from turning our mistakes into mastery?
23
Perhaps the most obvious hurdle to learning from failure is how painful it can be.
24
People generally want to think of themselves as capable and competent,
25
and experiencing failure threatens that self-image.
26
In a survey following a replication of the RUNES study,
27
participants in the failure group indicated much lower levels of self-confidence after participating.
28
It's tempting to dismiss this pain as a temporary setback,
29
but some studies have found that when people feel demoralized or incompetent,
30
their brains often stop processing new information.
31
This suggests that if a threat to your self-esteem is large enough,
32
it can undermine your ability to learn.
33
However, your tolerance for failure also depends on your relationship with the task at hand.
34
In a study from 2011,
35
researchers surveyed a group of American students enrolled in introductory and advanced French courses.
36
These students completed a questionnaire asking what kind of teacher they preferred,
37
one who emphasized their strengths and successes,
38
or one who highlighted their mistakes and corrected their weaknesses.
39
In general, responses showed that while beginner students sought positive reinforcement,
40
advanced students were more eager for critical feedback.
41
Researchers have theorized a handful of explanations for these results.
42
Having just started out, beginners are still determining if they enjoy learning French,
43
and if they want to continue studying.
44
So they might crave praise as a way to stay motivated.
45
On the other hand, the advanced students are already invested,
46
so they may want to improve their skills as efficiently as possible.
47
The process of gaining expertise also comes with its fair share of failure,
48
so the advanced students may have built a higher tolerance for making mistakes.
49
But whether you're an expert or a novice,
50
it's usually much more straightforward to learn from your successes than your failures.
51
For example, imagine getting your grade back on an exam.
52
If you aced it, you could reasonably assume you made good choices around when,
53
what, and how much to study,
54
and you can replicate those decisions for the next test.
55
But if you failed, it could be for any number of reasons.
56
Maybe you didn't study enough.
57
Maybe you studied the wrong information.
58
Or maybe you did everything right and the test covered things you shouldn't have been expected to know.
59
In cases like this, it's unclear exactly what went wrong,
60
making it difficult to learn how to improve.
61
Wanting to learn from our failures is completely natural,
62
and there's a lot to gain by being resilient and cultivating a growth mindset.
63
But fixating on your failures can make it easy to forget all your successes.
64
And building on what you're doing right can be more effective than focusing on what you did wrong.
65
One of the ways we can be more constructive with ourselves is by considering how we talk to ourselves.
66
Self-talk can actually play a major role in performance.

关于本课：如何从错误中学习，提升英语流利度
本课基于TED-Ed精彩视频“How to overcome your mistakes”，深入探讨了人类面对错误时的心理反应及其对学习过程的影响。视频通过生动的研究案例，揭示了失败可能带来的沮丧感如何阻碍我们处理新信息，以及初学者和进阶学习者对反馈的不同需求。对于英语口语练习者而言，本视频不仅提供了宝贵的心理学洞察，更是提升英语流利度的绝佳素材。
您将通过本课练习：
- 词汇主题： 学习、心理学、研究、成功与失败、自我形象、动机、反馈等相关词汇。
- 语法模式： 掌握如何描述研究方法和结果、表达因果关系、进行比较分析，以及阐述理论与观点。
- 口语场景： 练习讨论学习经验、解释心理学概念、总结研究发现，以及表达个人对失败和成功的看法。
理解视频内容，并积极模仿其语言表达，能帮助您在讨论抽象概念时更加自信和准确。
重要词汇和短语
以下是视频中精选的实用英语词汇和短语，附有中文简要解释：
- overcome your mistakes: 克服你的错误。（学会如何处理并超越所犯的错误。）
- even playing field: 公平的竞争环境。（指所有参与者条件相同，没有不公平的优势或劣势。）

本视频练习技巧
为了充分利用本视频进行发音练习和跟读技巧提升，请尝试以下建议：
- 语速与节奏： 视频讲解者的语速适中，发音清晰。建议初学者可先放慢速度跟读，熟悉后尝试以原速进行跟读技巧训练，重点模仿其自然的停顿和语调变化。这将有助于提升您的英语流利度。
- 口音与发音： 讲解者使用的是标准美式英语。在发音练习时，请留意单词的重音、连读以及特定音素（如/r/音）的发音方式。尤其是那些与学习、研究和心理感受相关的词汇，要确保发音准确。
- 话题难度与词汇： 视频内容涉及心理学研究、教育理论等较为抽象的话题，词汇相对正式。这对于准备雅思口语等学术类考试的学习者非常有益。练习用英语清晰地阐述复杂的概念，并用连接词（如 “however”, “therefore”, “in addition”）构建连贯的论证。
- 情绪与语气： 视频在描述失败带来的痛苦和成功的喜悦时，讲解者的语气有微妙变化。尝试模仿这些情绪的表达，让您的口语更富有表现力。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
