One topic is rarely mentioned in all talks of improving standards in our schools:the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching.As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years,I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such a child-centred learning,the “discovery” method,and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching. The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 .Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun,the subject of a sentence from its object,or the difference between the past,present,or future. Another important error is mixed-ability teaching,or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able pupils are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost 26 bored.Strangely enough,few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams. Progress depends on memory,and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons.This is why many people who attended French lessons at school,even those who got good grades,have forgotten it a few years later. 28 they never need it,they do not practise it. Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages,even Spanish,from the curriculum.Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same,and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need. 21.A.Due to B.In addition to C.Instead of D.In spite of 22.A.errors B.situations C.systems D.methods 23.A.vocabulary B.culture C.grammar D.literature 24.A.wide B.similar C.separate D.unique 25.A.kept out B.turned down C.held back D.left behind 26.A.surprisingly B.individually C.equally D.hardly 27.A.extra B.traditional C.basic D.regular 28.A.Although B.Because C.Until D.Unless 29.A.restored B.absorbed C.prohibited D.withdrawn 30.A.wasting B.focusing C.exploiting D.sharing
