By volume I mean the sheer amount of (comprehensible) language thatis spoken, heard, read or written in the course of the activity. Crudelyspeaking, the more language the learners are exposed to or produce, themore they are likely to learn: this means devoting plenty of time topractice sessions, and exploiting that time efficiently. When the materialto be practised is non-specific, as in fluency exercises, this just meansspending as much time as possible using the language in general (asdistinct from talking about it). When, however, the material is specific, asin the learning of a grammatical structure, most of the volume shouldconsist of repetition of the items to be learnt. In other words, we want todesign procedures that will induce the learners to engage with the items tobe learnt as many times as possible. This does not mean mere mechanicalreiteration of forms, but repeated reception and production, in speechand writing, of different examples of the structures form and meaning.
In a brief exercise where there is insufficient volume and repetition, thelearners may provide you with some feedback on what they know, or donot know, but they will not get much opportunity to consolidate theirlearning. In other words, the procedure will probably function as aninformal test rather than as a practice.In simple terms, the principle of repetition means that you have to getthe learners to produce or perceive examples of the structure - say,sentences using the present perfect tense - over and over again. Thiswould seem to be a perfect recipe for boredom. However, the twofeatures of interest and repetition, though not easily combined, are by nomeans mutually exclusive; and thinking of ways to achieve both of themsimultaneously is perhaps the central challenge facing the teacher andmaterials writer in designing effective practice techniques.
前言/序言
外研社从剑桥大学出版社出版的“Cambidge Handbooks for Language Teachers”中选出10本,结成“Learning in Doing?剑桥英语课堂教学系列”,在中国大陆出版发行。
应外研社要我为这套丛书写一个总序的要求,我通读了全部10本书,同时看了原系列其他书的书名。我发现,在所有这些书都涉及外语教学中的重要问题的同时,编者选出目前这10本来先期出版发行,是有道理的。
首先,从这10本书的书名就可看出,它们都是关于当前外语教学中的一些最关紧要的问题。读这套书的教师朋友们会发现,它们是如此切合我们国家当前外语教学(尤其是基础阶段外语教学)所面临的突出问题,用一句俗语说,它们是如此符合我国的“国情”:大班教学、以学生为中心突出个性化教学、课堂设计、口语教学、词汇教学、如何利用多媒体教学手段等等,方方面面,不一而足。
