Have you found a good way to carry out your study. Today we’ll read a passage named “How we learn”. First read aloud to the recording of the text HOW WE LEARN on page107. Pay attention to the pauses, the pronunciation and the intonation while listening and reading aloud. Post-reading questions: 1. Why do students learn in different ways? 2. What are the three basic learning styles? 3. What is the limitation of teachers’ teaching in classrooms? Suggested answers: 1. Because different people have different ways of obtaining information and use various methods to demonstrate their intelligence and ability. 2. They are: learning through seeing; learning through listening and learning through doing. 3. Restrictions of time, space and resources often make it impossible for teachers to provide the best exercises for all learners. Ⅱ. Ok, class, just now we talked about the three learning styles. Now let’s try to use them in our real study. Decide which of the study tips below are best suited for the three different types of learners described in the passage. suggested answers: Organise a study schedule to include frequent breaks. (learning through seeing) Study in a quite place where you cannot hear other people talking. (learning through seeing) Remembering things will be easier if you put the words to music and make a little “memory song”. (learning through doing) Take part in class discussions and debates. (learning through listening) Draw charts, graphs, diagrams, flow charts or pictures to organize information when taking notes. (learning through seeing) If possible use a computer and DVDS to help you study. (learning through seeing) Make presentations to classmates or discuss ideas with your classmates. （learning through listening） Concentrate on similarities and differences you can observe. (learning through doing) Move around while studying. For example, read while doing exercises. (learning through doing) Put posters and photos around your desk and have a stress toy to play with as you work.

(learning through doing) Ⅲ Now let’s talk about our learning styles in a group of four. Evaluate and compare your learning styles and discuss how to improve the way you study. Step 2: Copying down expressions. As is known, language is made up of words and expressions. So, why not read the article and write down all those expressions which are useful to you! Step 3 Writing an article Write an article analyzing the way you learn, using the outline below to help you to organise your ideas. Part 2 Discourse Studies 第二部分 篇章学习 1. Type of writing and summary of the idea 课文体裁、中心思想和段落大意 Reading the text EDUCATION FOR ALL, and then complete the following chart. Type of writing This is a piece of descriptive writing Main idea of the passage It tells about the world-wide efforts to achieve the goal of “Education for all” Main idea of Para.1 Compulsory education for all Chinese children Main idea of Para 2 Education for all children worldwide will be difficult to achieve Main idea of Para 3 Encouraging people in rural areas to accept education Main idea of Para 4 Solving the problem of teaching quality in remote areas Main idea of Para 5 Meeting the cost Main idea of Para 6 Problems of number and location Main idea of Para 7 Education for All---an international target 2. Graphic representation of the text 课文图解 3. A retold passage of the text 课文复述 Retell the text using about 100 words. Notes: 1. Try to use your own words. 2. Make use of the chart above while retelling. 3. The possible version below can be used as material for both retelling and dictation. A possible version of the retold text: In 1986, the Chinese government introduced the law of “nine years of compulsory education” for every Chinese child by the year 2000, which turns out highly successful. All the governments in the world realize that the future welfare of the citizens is closely linked to education. For the calculated 113 million children not being in school from the World Education Forum, the UNESCO made a commitment to provide “education for all” by 2015, which has similar difficulties in different countries. To create a positive attitude is important in carrying out the goal, especially in areas where agriculture plays an important role and children have a tendency to be absent and often drop out to help work in the fields. China’s large population and big land meant the possibility of the large class sizes and mixed-grade classes. In Australia the so-spread-out population use “distance learning” methods with the help of two-way radio and mail. The success in bringing education to all depends on economy. So some governments rely on aid from other countries, international organizations. Every country faces problems in education, which makes the governments look for ways to solve them. The Chinese government has overcome problems to accomplish the goal, which is not so in the least developed nations in Africa and Asia. So the goal will be a huge task for the world.

Education for All (EFA) is an international commitment first launched in Jomtien, Thailand in 1990 to bring the benefits of education to 揺very citizen in every society? Partners comprised a broad coalition of national governments, civil society groups, and development agencies such as UNESCO and the World Bank. In the face of slow progress over the decade, the commitment was reaffirmed in Dakar, Senegal in April 2000 and then again in September 2000, when 189 countries and their partners adopted two of the EFA goals among the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015. The EFA commitment is specifically to: Ensure universal primary education for all children by 2015 (also an MDGs) Eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education (also an MDGs) Improve early childhood care and education Ensure equitable access to 搇ife skills?programs Achieve a 50 percent increase in adult literacy by 2015 Improve all aspects of the quality of education Progress on MDGs Despite considerable EFA progress in recent years, at least 52 of the 154 developing countries will face difficulty in achieving universal completion of primary education by 2015 unless efforts are accelerated substantially. And though gender gaps in primary and secondary enrollment are narrowing, 43 developing countries will not meet the 2005 gender parity goal, of which 30 are unlikely to meet it by 2015 without intensified actions. Low-income countries face the greatest challenges to reaching the MDGs. Notably, at least 44 of the 81 low-income countries will face difficulty in achieving universal completion of primary education by 2015 without accelerated efforts. And though their gender gaps in primary and secondary enrollment are narrowing, 32 low-income countries will not meet the 2005 gender parity goal, of which 22 are unlikely to meet it by 2015 without intensified actions. What does it take? Sustained effort is at the heart of achieving EFA. Countries need to put appropriate policies in place, implement reforms and programs within strategic education sector and national development plans, and adequately fund primary education. Key principles include inclusiveness and equity - and thus the need for scaling up and targeting of hard-to-reach, disadvantaged groups; and a focus on results and outcomes - calling for steady attention to education quality and support to service-delivery levels (school and classroom) as much as possible. Important World Bank analytical work has helped (i) redefine the universal primary education goal as Universal Primary Completion, recognizing that learning takes place not when children enroll but only when they complete a quality primary education; and (ii) establish a "indicative framework?of benchmarks comprising measures of quality, efficiency, and domestic resource mobilization found key to success in countries that have realized gains on EFA. Achieving EFA will take multi-dimensional efforts: ◆ improving access and equity ◆ focusing on girls?education and in particular improving their dropout and retention rates ◆ helping education systems cope with HIV/AIDS, which puts education systems at grave risk ◆ promoting early childhood development, proven to improve learning outcomes ◆ protecting EFA prospects in post-conflict countries ◆ and advancing adult literacy and non-formal education for children and youth, including orphans who have no access to more traditional and formal schooling. Examples of countries? efforts to achieve EFA may be found at these sites: Yemen: World Bank Approves US$ 65 Million to Boost Basic Education in Yemen India: World Bank To Support India's Goal Of Achieving Elementary Education Ghana: World Bank Contributes US$78 Million to Boost Quality of Education Bangladesh: World Bank Joins Donors To Support Primary Education Related Resources UNESCO's Education For All site Achieving Universal Primary Education by 2015 - A Chance for Every Child IDA and Education |
