Today were going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be
8、 surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types” the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner.
9、Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to learn by playing games, by look
10、ing at pictures and videos in class, by talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like t
11、o learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, its unusual for a person to
12、 be exclusively one “type” rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?,C answers,1 (a) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4 (b),Part II Educational systems,A Vocabulary,Britain primary school comprehensive vocational courses A levels elementary school kindergarten jun

15、 primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age
16、of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and thats usually for three years.,A,Well, it depends on what state youre in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary sch
17、ool and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Some kids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, thats about eleven, and thats the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the
18、tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and theyll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called “freshmen”, in the second theyre called “so
19、phomores”, in the third year we call them “juniors” and in the fourth year theyre called “seniors”. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.,A,Well, in Australi
20、a, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until theyre about eleven, then theyll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually
21、twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examin
22、ation, which then gives you entree into a university or its another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.,A,Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four
23、or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school. Some go on to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade
24、. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a communit
25、y college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training in certain professions, such
26、 as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelors degree after three or four years of study. A masters degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.,A2 answers,5,11,16 6,11,14,16 5,11,12/

30、ho is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo. P: Good morning. I: I understand that teaching English is becoming “big business” all around the world. P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere. I: Why is that? P: With the m
31、ove toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields. I: And do people find English an easy language to learn? P:
32、 Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages its essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptab
33、le which is a good thing for a world language but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.,B,I: English spelling baffles me, too. P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French like “buy” which is Anglo-Sa
34、xon and “purchase” which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige. I: Anglo-Saxon? P: Thats the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today. I: Is there anything else particularly d
35、ifficult about English? P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students. I: Informal English? P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects British, American and Canadian English. I: And how is C
36、anadian English different from American and British? P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldnt use the British term “lorry” for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r” spellings in words such as
37、 “honour” and “colour”. I: This has been very interesting. Im afraid were out of time.

To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse
40、 group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Ma
41、ny students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Some of students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic min
42、orities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, Id like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average st
43、udent is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.,A1,Lets begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still its convenient to talk about an “average” student for our purposes. Foreign students are
44、 often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admi
45、t a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly b
46、ut not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.,A1,What kind of academic experiences will this so-called “average” student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class about 15 hours a week. If he or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this
47、will require two or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a di
48、scussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes for example, language classes will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite particip
49、ation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they dont understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.,
