What is the best way to learn a new language? A small study of foreign language learning in adults compared two methods.(16)One is known as the explicit or classroom method. This is the kind of traditional classroom teaching where students are taught a lot of information about grammar rules. The other method is known as the implicit or immersion method. The idea here is to learn much the way children do when they learn a native language.(17)That is, by being with native speakers and absorbing the language that surrounds them, generally without a lot of explanation.
    Teachers may combine these two methods into what Professor Michael Ullman calls immersion-style classroom teaching. But is that necessarily a better way to learn a language? Mr. Ullman was the senior investigator for the new study. He is a professor of neuroscience at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington.(18)The 21 adults in the experiment learned Brocanto, a thirteen-word language created for the study. The researchers tested the people 3 to 6 months after they had learned the language, to see how well they could remember it. The study found that those who had learned it with the immersion method had brain waves similar to those of native speakers of a language when speaking that language. Professor Ullman says those who trained with the classroom method also became more native-like in their brain processing.(19)But only the immersion group showed full nativelike processing of the grammar. Still, he says teachers should be careful how they use the results of his study. And he believes further research is warranted.
16. What is the characteristic of explicit method of language learning?
17. What is the similarity between implicit method and the way children learn their mother tongue?
18. What did the subjects of Mr. Ullman’s study do at the first stage of the study?
19. In which area of the language does implicit method excel?

选项 A、Being surrounded by native speakers.
B、Being tolerated when making mistakes.
C、Making a lot of mistakes at the beginning.
D、Learning the sound before knowing the meaning.

答案A

解析 短文中提到“浸入法”与儿童学习母语的方式非常相似,都是被某种语言的使用者围绕,从而可以吸收语言,通常都没有详细的解说,故答案为A)。
