According to Dr. Adams, what does the title of his book suggest? [br]
W: Good evening and welcome to tonight’s program. Our guest is the world-known Dr. Charles Adams, who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning. His new book. Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast, has been on the best seller list for the past six weeks. Welcome to our program.
M: Ah, it’s a pleasure to be here.
W: Now. Dr. Adams. Tell us about the title of your book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast.
M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.
W: Now, sorry for saying this, but your ideas may sound a little simplistic to our viewers. I mean I took Spanish in high school for four years, and I didn’t become a proficient speaker of the language.
M: Well, I think there are many people that feel that way, and that’s just it. I’m not implying that we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there, but rather following a regular, consistent, and focused course of study can help us on the way to the promised land of language mastery, and remember there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language, and I am proposing the latter.
W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book?
M: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. I mean, some people get caught up the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to become disenchanted when they don’t perform up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day and to learn to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.
W: Um-hum. Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Can you elaborate on that?
M: Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Now, our preferences are determined by many factors, for example, personality, culture, and past experience. Basically there are three learning styles. The first type is called visual learning style. Visual learners prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; it is a learning style in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques. It is one of the three basic types of learning styles that also includes kinesthetic learning and auditory learning. Visual learners also prosper when shown graphs, graphic organizers, such as webs, concept maps and idea maps, plots, and illustrations such as stack plots and Venn plots, are some of the techniques used in visual learning to enhance thinking and learning skills. Visual learners usually possess the qualities of having great instinctive direction and having the ability to easily visualize objects.
W: It really sounds complicated. Well then, how about the second type?
M: The second type is called auditory learning and auditory learners favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them. Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone’s words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Auditory Learners are good at writing responses to lectures they’ve heard. They’re also good at oral exams, effectively by listening to information delivered orally, in lectures, speeches, and oral sessions. It is believed that when an auditory/verbal learner reads, it is almost impossible for the learner to comprehend anything without sound in the background. In these situations, listening to music or having different sounds in the background (TV, people talking, etc) will help learners work better.
W: So, Dr. Adams. What is your learning style?
M: Well, I’m a very tactile learner.
W: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience?
M: Exactly.
W: So, how does knowing your learning style benefit you?
M: Well, this might seem a little unusual, but moving around while trying to learn and memorize material helps me a great deal. While I cut up tomatoes and onions for my breakfast in the morning, I might recite aloud vocabulary to the rhythm of the knife. But it is important to remember that often our learning styles arc not singular in nature, but are often very multidimensional, and we tend to learn differently in different situations.
W: So can you tell me what my learning style is?
M: Well, you’re going to have to read my book to find that out.
W: Okay. We have just found out from Dr. Charles Adams, author of the book, Learning Languages over Eggs and Toast. Thanks for joining us.
M: My pleasure.
选项
A、seeing models of the patterns to be learned
B、associating images with ideas and concepts
C、performing better through artistic experiences
D、having great instinctive sense of direction
答案
C
解析
辨别题。讲座中提到不同的学习风格,有的人被称作视觉学习者,这类学习者倾向于看到需要学习的知识的模型范式。他们的认知习惯是把抽象概念与具体的图像联系起来帮助记忆,因而这类学习者的方向感和形象思维均不错,即Visual learners prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn;it is a learning style in which ideas,concepts,data and other information are associated with images and techniques.It is one of the three basic types of learning styles that also includes kinesthetic learning and auditory learning...Visual learners usually possess the qualities of having great instinctive direction and having the ability to easily visualize objects.这里只有C未提到,所以答案为C。
