第五十二课 美国学校英语教学课程
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. 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.
