61)
The teaching of English as a second language (ESL) in schools has had a history of conflicting arguments, interesting innovations and some very positive methodological changes.
To understand the present situation, it is necessary to consider the past and the wider educational context which has a bearing on it.
Until quite recently, approaches to ESL work have been strongly influenced by methods developed to teach English as a foreign language to older learners. These methods placed much emphasis on drills, exercises and remedial programs that focus on language in abstraction. 62)
The prescriptive nature of such methods and the demands they made on the teacher’s time developed the belief that ESL work would be tackled only by the specialist ESL teacher working with small groups of children.
63)
Such an approach does not fit comfortably into current notions of learning and teaching in the primary school, nor does it sufficiently equip ESL learners in the secondary school to benefit from normal schooling.
In prescribing what language is to be taught, it has ignored what children bring to the learning task and the choices they make about how and what they want to learn. Furthermore, the location and organization of language provision did not measure up to the demand. 64)
The language centers and English language services all contributed to providing special and concentrated teaching of English as a second language in small groups, varying in size from four or five to fifteen.
Whatever the pattern of provision, the main aim was to give pupils sufficient English to enable them to join normal schools as quickly as possible. The success of such special provision depended very much on the close and constant liaison of language teachers with the subject teachers and the class teachers and on the continuity of learning experiences provided by them. One of the important disadvantages of language centers and withdrawal groups was that ESL children were being taught away from those English-speakers who provide the most powerful models, i.e. their peer group. Peer-group interaction is an important element in any learning situation, but its particular strengths in a classroom with ESL learners cannot be over-emphasized.
(65)
The separation of second-language learners from the main-stream classroom cannot easily be justified on educational grounds, since in practice it leads to both their curriculum and language learning being impoverished.
选项
答案
这些方法的规定性特征以及它们对教学时间上的要求使人们相信,作为第二语言的英语教学工作,只能由这方面的专业教师在小班学生中进行。
解析
此句是一个复合句,句子结构为:“The prescriptive nature of such methods and the demands(that)…developed the belief that…”句中第一个关系代词that被省略,它引导定语从句,修饰demands;第二个that引导同位语从句,说明belief;“working with small groups of children”为现在分词短语作定语,修饰specialist ESL teacher。句中 prescriptive nature是“规定性特征”的意思。
