一.本課要點(diǎn)及示例
在這一課里, 我們來復(fù)習(xí)以前教過的一些基本語法, 同時(shí)也談一談在美國(guó)學(xué)校里的英語教學(xué)課程.首先我們還是先聽一段對(duì)話, 內(nèi)容是說鮑勃和珍妮在校園里談到了暑假里計(jì)劃作些什么. 請(qǐng)你注意兩位老師的發(fā)音和語調(diào).
M: Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over. We just have two more weeks before exams. What do you plan to do this summer?
F: I'm going to teach English to some immigrants in the university's community service program.
M: That sounds interesting. Don't you need to speak a foreign language for a job like that?
F: No, you don't. You just have to present the language simply and give the students a chance to practice speaking.
M: Come to think of it, that's the way I was taught to speak Chinese. But speaking Chinese didn't help me learn to read and write Chinese.
F: My students won't want to read and write English, at least not now. They are more interested in speaking.
M: You sound very knowledgeable about all this, How do you know so much?
F: I took a Teaching English as a Second Language course last year when you were in China. I've also talked with the program administrators quite a lot. I think I would like to be an ESL teacher when I graduate.

八.聽短文回答問題
今天我們要聽的文章談到美國(guó)學(xué)校為了幫助外國(guó)人學(xué)英語而設(shè)立的英語教學(xué)計(jì)劃.請(qǐng)你注意聽.
The United States is primarily an English speaking country. The majority of the population speaks English as their native language. Business, education and most public aspects of life are conducted in English. Across the country, people pronounce English sounds in several different ways and some regional vocabulary differences exist, but for the most part, Americans speak one common language. This language is sometimes called American English. However, not everyone in the U.S. is a native speaker of English. Most immigrants to the country are speakers of other languages. There are hundreds of communities around the U.S. where English is not the most commonly used language. Chinese, Italian, German, Armenian, Greek, Vietnamese and French are all spoken in numerous communities in the U.S. Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language after English in the U. S. It is widely spoken in New York and across the southern part of the country. For speakers of other languages, learning English is important, but traditionally teaching people to speak English as a second language was given little attention. Non-English speakers were expected to "pick up" the language through contact in public. Recently, this has changed. Today, most large public schools and community colleges have ESL, English as a Second Language, programs. American English teachers feel that English students should learn the language the way they will be using it. Therefore, ESL programs teach different English lessons to different students. Some programs teach students to communicate in English in public. Other programs teach the kind of English people will need on their jobs. American ESL instructional methods emphasize the importance of communication to language learning. These methods do not feature grammatical explanations and translation. The instructional goal is to get the English learners to learn by using their target language.
