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
从教育学角度来看,很难说使第二语言学习者脱离正常课堂教学的做法是可取的,因为它实际上使教学安排和语言学习都蒙受损失。
解析
此句是一个复合句,主句为被动语态,since引导原因状语从句,原因状语从句中:“being impoverished”为现在分词短语作定语,修饰“language learning”。句中justified是“证明…是可取的”的意思; curriculum是“课程安排”的意思;impoverished是“受损失的”的意思;在翻译主句时,要将英文中的被动语态转换为主动语态。
