一.本课要点及示例 在这一课里, 我们来复习以前教过的一些基本语法, 同时也谈一谈在美国学校里的英语教学课程.首先我们还是先听一段对话, 内容是说鲍勃和珍妮在校园里谈到了暑假里计划作些什么. 请你注意两位老师的发音和语调. M: Well, Jenny, the school year is almost over.

Dont you need to speak a foreign language for a job like that? F: No, you dont. You just have to present the language simply and give the students a chance to practice speaking. M: Come to think of it, thats the way I was taught to speak Chinese. But speaking Chinese didnt help me learn to read and write Chinese. F: My students wont 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?

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. 现在请你回答下面三个问题. 你回答之后老师会把正确答案念给你听. 第一个问题是: M: What languages are spoken in the United States? F: Many languages are spoken in the United States. 第二个问题是: M: Where can one take English as a Second Language courses in the U.S.? F: One can take ESL courses in public schools and community colleges. 第三个问题是: M: What do American methods of teaching ESL emphasize? F: They emphasize communication.
