问答题"I"m not 100% convinced that memorizing the dictionary is the best way of improving your vocabulary." says the character played by Hugh Grant in Woody Allen"s film Small Time Crooks. Yet why not? If you could memorize the dictionary—or even the 5,000 most common words in that dictionary—wouldn"t that give you a huge advantage? 1 Researchers estimate that a core vocabulary of between 2,000 and 3,600 high-frequency words is probably enough to push learners over the intermediate plateau (停滞阶段). So why don"t we insist on them memorizing these words, "from day one, and as quickly as possible? 2 As an example, a New Zealand friend of mine who studied Maori (毛利语) asked me recently what I, as a language teacher, would make of his teacher"s method: "We just do masses of words around a theme, for example, family or food. We have to learn these words before the next lesson, then we come back and have a conversation about family or food etc, using these words. The teacher feeds in the grammar that we need to stick the words together." He added that he thought the method worked a treat. Nevertheless, 3 for most teachers and learners the sheer spadework involved in memorizing lists of words doesn"t make for very exciting teaching. More importantly, knowing a word involves much more than simply having memorized it. Is it readily accessible? Is it there when you need to say it? As Hotspur says (in response to Glendower"s boast that he "can call spirits from the vasty deep"), "Why, so can I, or so can any man; but will they come when you do call for them?" 4 Memorization of words without frequent opportunities to access them is probably time misspent. Yet memory is important—perhaps the most important task facing the learner. 5 And therefore knowing how memory works, and how to make it work to the learner"s advantage, is a major responsibility for teachers. So how does memory work, and what implications might these workings have on the teaching of vocabulary?

问答题Children and young people are at the heart of society. A good education enables them, as global citizens, to respond to the challenges of a complex world, and contribute to building peaceful and sustainable communities. The teachers of today and tomorrow need the skills, knowledge and support that will enable them to meet the diverse learning needs of every girl and boy. We must remember that teachers are an investment for the future. The international community and governments must stand united to support teachers and quality education worldwide, and especially in those countries where the highest number of out-of-school children exists.

问答题The one thing all children have in common is their rights. Every child has the right to survive and thrive, to be educated, to be free from violence and abuse, to participate and to be heard. These are innate human rights, as inalienable as those held by adults. But until 1989, these rights were not formally articulated in a legally binding instrument, nor were governments fully accountable to advance these rights for every child. This all changed 25 years ago, on Universal Children"s Day, when the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It rapidly became the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.

问答题The social costs of unemployment go far beyond the welfare and unemployment payments made the government. Unemployment increases the chances of divorce, child abuse, and alcoholism, a new federal survey shows. Some experts say the problem is only temporary—that new technology will eventually create as many jobs as it destroys. But futurologist Hymen Seymour says the astonishing efficiency of the new technology means there will be a simple net reduction in the amount of human labor that needs to be done. "We should treat this as an opportunity to give people more leisure. It may not be easy, but society will have to reach a new agreement on the division and distribution of labor." Seymour says.
