问答题 One of the difficulties that middle school English teachers in China come across is that the students'goals, the educational system's goals and the teacher's goals do not always agree with each other. Suppose you are a middle school English teacher, how are you going to reconcile these different goals?

【正确答案】When we talk about the English teaching in the Chinese middle school, it should be discussed from two aspects. In the junior middle school, the educational system's goal is to improve students'comprehensive competence in listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. And the students aim their goal at entering into the senior middle sch001. Thus, teachers should combine the students'goal with the educational system's goal, fostering students'study interest in English. While in the senior middle school, especially in different kinds of schools, students'goals are varied. Some students learn English for academic purpose and prepare for further education. Some others in vocational schools are eager to learn English relating to their future career. And the rest of them learn English in order to sarisfy their own interest in it. Therefore, the students should be classified according their different goals, and the teachers should reconcile the "three goals" to improving students'comprehensive competence.
At the beginning of the junior middle schooling, teachers should rouse students'interest by conducting listening and speaking classes based on students'goal. In the middle, educational system's goal is taken into account, and teachers should improve students'comprehensive competence, emphasizing communicative competence. At the final stage, teachers'goal is underlined to help students reach their goal under the guide of educational system's goal. In the senior middle school, teachers can follow the same procedure. Based on students'goal, teachers spur the students to study hard for their own goals while helping them improve their comprehensive competence. Thus, the educational system's goal can be attained accordingly.
【答案解析】[解析] 本题考查学生的学习目标、教师的教学目标和教育主管部门的管理目标之间如何协调发展的问题。目前中国的中学有初级和高级之分,其各项目标在不同阶段亦不尽相同。无论是在初中还是高中,教育部门的目标都是提高学生的英语综合能力,包括听、说、读、写、译的能力,培养能运用英语进行交际的合格毕业生。然而,由于现实中的种种原因,学生在初中的学习目标就是要瞄准高中甚至重点高中,而教师既要贯彻教育部门的要求,又要照顾到学生的学习目标,培养学生学习英语的浓厚兴趣。到了高中阶段,教育部门的目标没有太大改变,而学生间学习目标有了分化,教师应根据不同群体制定相应的教学目标,进而实现主管部门的教育目标。
