问题     Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One of the theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.
    Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing(which he calls non-specific mental reactivity)are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details—the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it—than the content on which were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecturer’s appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, such as in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever.
    The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant(1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical(Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms)and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with attention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. The teacher’ s task is to assist the students to apply what they have learned paraconsciously, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness.
    While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to inadequate placebo effect. The students have not developed the appropriate mind set. They are often not motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough ’ faith’. They do not see it as ’real teaching’, especially as it does not seem to involve the ’work’ they have learned to believe that it is essential to learning.
Why the author mentioned foreign language learning?
选项 A、Because of the popularity of foreign language learning.
B、To disapprove the theory claimed by Lozanov.
C、To support Loanov’s theory about method of learning is scientific.
D、To identify students’ IQ.
答案C
解析 推断题。为什么作者提到外语学习?定位于原文第三段。第一句“Thesuggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration．”意为，外语教学中的暗示法便是很好的证明。即选项C，是为了证明暗示法的科学性。
