美国出国留学项目深入融入当地文化

每年有大约2.5万名美国人出国留学。一些留学项目努力让学生们了解当地文化。留学生们不仅仅要精通语言学习，他们可能还会发现当地文化会引发挑战，甚至是巨大的文化差异，这些都是他们要去克服的。

This is the VOA Special English EDUCATION REPORT.

Each year about two hundred fifty thousand Americans study in other countries. Some study-abroad programs are trying harder to get students to learn about the local culture. One student on his first morning in Beijing was brought to a distant part of the city. He received money and instructions how to get back. It took some time but he succeeded.

William Finlay heads the sociology department at the University of Georgia in the United States. He says challenges like this help students experience another culture.

WILLIAM FINLAY: "It’s absolutely crucial that they know something about how people in other parts of the world live and think and how they behave. Often those students go in large groups and they hang around with each other. We felt that they really weren’t getting to know the local inhabitants."

In two thousand eight, Professor Finlay started a program with South Africa’s Stellenbosch University. The program combines traditional classroom learning with community involvement through a nongovernmental organization.

WILLIAM FINLAY: "We’ve been working with a particular NGO in the township and they do two things: they run a number of these creches, which are basically day care centers for children whose parents are working, and the library in the community where there are some computers. Our students typically work either with the little kids in the day cares or they work in the library and teach very basic computer skills to mostly young adults."

Hillary Kinsey is studying international affairs. She spent three weeks in the Stellenbosch program.

HILLARY KINSEY: "It was interesting to learn the history of the area and the recent development withdemocracy and that sort of thing, and then talk to these people and see what the social dynamics were, what the ethnic divisions were, how certain groups felt about other groups."

When Ms. Kinsey returned from South Africa recently, she and other students in the program created a nonprofit organization.

HILLARY KINSEY: "We called it Ubunto, which is a South African concept coined by Desmond Tutu, and it means ’I am because we are.’ The idea is kind of based around relationships within society and what generates prosperity for the whole. And so we kind of took that notion and translate into a larger international community."

She says the goal is to help improve education and development in South Africa.

Mark Lenhart is the executive director of CET Academic Programs. Each year, that company places more than one thousand students in semester and summer study programs. The programs are in China, Jordan, the Czech Republic and other countries.

MARK LENHART: "In all of our locations, we place students with local roommates."

Students gain from that, he says, but the experience is not always easy.

MARK LENHART: "Not just in terms of language learning, but they also find the local culture can present challenges, and perhaps misunderstandings. They have to adjust to local life. It’s no longer OK just to have a little Chinese, for instance. If a student is studying Chinese, they want to come home from a program like this fluent in Chinese. And so this will enable students to become more employable when they graduate."

   听力的训练是一项系统工程。只靠多听，采取量中求质的办法，是很难大幅度地提高学生的听力的。要提高学生听力，应从以下几方面入手。1、读准语音正确的语音是听音辨音的基础，只有把英语音学准读准，才能进行听音辨音。因此，我要求学生每天早晨坚持半小时的听录音跟读练习，跟读过程中，只求读准语音。随堂设计5分钟的辨音练习，形式可多样化。比如：一生朗读，其余听辨有无错
