It may look like just another playgroup,but a unique educational center in Manhattan is really giving babies something to talk about. "It’s a school to teach languages to babies and young children with games, songs—some of the classes also have arts and crafts," said Francois Thibaut, the founder of the Langrage Workshop for Children, a place where babies become bilingual.
Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English. Educators use special songs and visual (视觉) aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk, the languages will not be so foreign. "Children have a unique capacity to learn many languages at the same time," said Thibaut. "Already at nine months, a child can tell the differences between the sounds he or she has heard since birth and the sounds he or she has never heard yet." Thibaut says the best time to expose children to language is from birth to 3 years old. For the last 30 years, the school has been using what it calls the Thibarut Technique, a system that combines language lessons with child’s play.
"I always wanted to learn Spanish, but by the time I got to high school it was too late to pick it up and speak fluently," said Marc Lazare, who enrolled his son at the school. "I figured at this age, two, it’s a perfect time for him to learn."
Aside from learning a language, the kids also gain a tremendous sense of confidence. One young student boasted that aside from French, she can speak five languages (though that included "monkey" and "lion"). The school gives children the tools to communicate, and sometimes that gives them an advantage over their parents. "I think they sometimes speak French when they think I won’t understand them," said parent Foster Gibbons.
Depending on the age group, classes run from 45 minutes up to 2 hours. Even when students are not in class, the program is designed to make sure the learning continues at home. Tapes and books are included, so kids can practice on their own.
选项
A、capable of using two languages
B、both clever and confident
C、aware of their own limitations and strengths
D、independent of their parents
答案
A
解析
本题是词汇题。如对bilingual这一单词熟悉,可直接选出答案。如不熟悉,第一可根据前缀bi-“二的,双的”和lingual“语言的”推出其含义;另外可根据上下文猜出其含义。首先前后都提到language,可知一定跟语言有关,其次根据第二段“Children as young as few months are exposed to French and Spanish before many of them can even speak English.Educators use special songs and visual(视觉的)aids to ensure that when a child is ready to talk,the languages will not be so foreign.(孩子们在几个月大的时候甚至还没学英语时就开始接触法语和德语,教育家使用……,这样外语对他们来说就不至于那么陌生了)”可推知A为正确选项。
