| 摘要: | 『英語實習』課程之教師須面臨選擇教材的難題，而浩瀚無涯之教材令人無所是從。本文作者經果過一番調查之後，以為美國的『有線電視新聞網』最符合注意力較短暫的學生之教學。本文首先探討語言學習—尤其是聽力—之一般性原理，其次說明資料之搜集，接著討論所搜集材料之教學過程，最後以作者之觀察作結論。
The language teacher in a language laboratory course confronts the problem of which material he/she should use. The plethora of materials is staggering. After surveying many items, I decided that in the television age, with the short attention span of students, the Cable News Network (CNN) is a valuable method of teaching English in the classroom. This paper discusses a general theory of language learning, emphasizing listening comprehension. This is followed by an explanation of how these materials were obtained, and a discusson on how these materials were used to improve listening skills and expand student vocabularies. |
