19、 to preview the gap-filling task. 1 【听力原文】 Bilingual Education Good morning. Today we will talk about bilingual education. (1) Bilingual education is an educational program that provides instruction in both the students native language and the language of the host country. The ways in which bilingua

20、l programs are implemented by the different states differ greatly. (2) One of the most common models of bilingual education in the United States is called transitional bilingual education. In this kind of program, students learn ESL while taking all their other classes in their native language. Stud

21、ents must stop taking classes in their native language after some period of time, usually three years. After the three-year time limit, students start taking all their classes in English only. The reasoning for this model is that native language classes should serve as a transition to English. The m

22、ain goal of a transitional program is to teach students English as quickly as possible. (3) Another kind of program is called maintenance bilingual education. Maintenance programs do not have the same time limit as transitional programs do. (4) Students can continue taking content-area classes in th

23、eir native language for as long as they need to or want to. The idea behind a maintenance program is that a childs native language is worth maintaining and developing. In fact, research has shown that students who know their first language well will be more successful in learning how to read and wri

24、te a second language. (5) One of the problems with maintenance programs is that they are more expensive than transitional programs. Two-way bilingual education is a program which offers second language instruction to students whose native language is English, while at the same time providing ESL to

25、students who speak a language other than English. (6) The purpose of two-way bilingual education programs is to make all students bilingual. Finally, there is immersion bilingual education. In these programs, students take all-English courses for one year or two before they begin to take courses in

26、their native language. In other words, they are immersed in English for the first year or two. Many students feel overwhelmed during the first two years. (7) While struggling to learn English, they lost valuable time that should be spent learning important concepts in math and science. (8-1) Bilingu

27、al education has always been and continues to be a controversial subject. The history of “English-only“ politics dates back to the early days of the country. Some people are angered by the freedom with which todays newcomers speak their native tongue in public. (9) Some critics argue that bilingual

28、education places an unfair burden on schools, and that taxpayers money should not be spent teaching immigrants in their native language. Many people in favor of bilingual education agree that some bilingual programs are better than others, though not all of them are successful. Some supporters of bi

29、lingual education argue that the real reason that critics are opposed to these programs is that these programs really work. (10) Bilingual proponents say that critics of bilingual education dont really want immigrants to be successful at school. (8-2) Whatever happens, bilingual education will certa

30、inly continue to be controversial. Thats all for todays lecture. Thank you. 【知识模块】 讲座 2 【正确答案】 host 【试题解析】 此处主要对 bilingual education进行解释，讲座中提到 “Bilingual education is an educational program that provides instruction in both the students native language and the language of the host country.”，其中 host

34、座中提到 “The purpose of two-way bilingual education programs is to make all students bilingual.”，即双向式双语教育模式的目的是要使所有的学生都掌握两种语言，因此填入 bilingual。 【知识模块】 讲座 8 【正确答案】 math and science 【试题解析】 该题涉及浸入式双语教育模式的特点，讲座中提到 “While struggling to learn English, they lost valuable time that should be spent learning impor
