Which of the following is NOT true about Sally’s education and experience?
M: Good Morning, Sally Leung.
W: Good Morning, thank you. I sit here? With the view out of the window? How nice it is to look out of the window to look at the green things.
M: Yes. Now, can I just confirm your particulars, Sally? You are at present enrolled in a master’s degree course in one of the local institutions and teaching a summer programme, is that right?
W: Yes, that’s right, an MA in Teaching English as the Second Language. I’m doing a second year, It’s a modular course, and it has practical elements. I chose it for that reason. I didn’t want a course of study that is entirely theoretical.
M: And you have some experience of guiding students in independent study?
W: Yes, that’s right. We do language counseling, and help each person to design a language improvement plan that suits his or her needs, temperament and level and circumstances. I think they really appreciate that, or at least some of them. Of course you find those who don’t, not at all, but they’re not the ones who really want to, who are serious and want to pursue their language power.
M: Yes, I see. And before that you were pursuing your own degree studies in Australia, is that right?
W: Yes, that’s right. I did English as my major and Psychology as a minor and in the first year we had to do a lot of different courses—you could study a language that you hadn’t before, and there was Music and you had to do at least one Science course, and one Art course, and you had to do some physical activities for at least an hour a week, but there are lots of choices, you could even do golf or horse-riding. And you wouldn’t believe how many English speaking friends I made. In some ways that was the best thing.
M: I see. A broadly-based first degree programme. The job you have now is temporary, isn’t it? When will it end?
W: It started in the middle of May, and let me see now, it’s nearly the end of June. It’s just a three months’ summer programme so I suppose we should finish some time in July. I’m not sure about the date.
M: Tell me, Sally, why do you think that opportunities for independent learning are important for students who have access to class instruction of good quality, and on a regular basis?
W: Well, there are so many who haven’t, aren’t there? Many people who are fully capable to study, and would like to undertake it just can’t go, they just can’t get to classes for one reason or another. They can’t afford it, independent learning is much less expensive, or they have family to look after so that they can’t just leave home, and they may be disabled, and may not be able to use public transport, also they just hate the competitiveness develops in classroom, or they had really bad experiences in their early educational life.
M: Yes. That is true, but what is the value of independent learning to the majority of students who are already enrolled in classes?
W: Well, they seem to want it. You really learn, after all, on your own. You need extra practice, don’t you? Yes, they, or at least some of them, do want to learn from it.
M: Tell me how you set about identifying the strengths and the weaknesses of individual students.
W: We use a set of tests designed by colleagues. We’re still in process of evaluating their usefulness, but students don’t seem to resist the tests as stressful, and so far, the recommendations based on the results seem to have been found helpful. Accuracy in diagnosing weaknesses is our most difficult problem. None of the means we have so far used seems any more accurate than the students’ own account of where they think their difficulties lie.
M: Can you tell me of any materials you recommend to someone who is concerned, for example, about the pronunciation of English?
W: So many of them are! A lot of them say that native speakers just don’t understand them! There are some very good practice books. There’s a blue one we use that seems very good, and it has a tape, let me see that must be two tapes, and it’s very useful indeed. I can’t remember the exact title but I’m afraid something to do with English pronunciation. I wish I could think of who wrote that book, but it’s been around a long time and it’s very good.
M: Yes, well, thank you very much, Sally.
W: Well, can I go now? Don’t you want to ask me anything more? Because I’ve tried to be informative. Thank you very much. I hope I’ll hear from you soon.
