  Would翻be language teachers everywhere have one thing in mon: they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.

  Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country, and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.

  Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counter-parts(相對應的人)--- something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are happy--- linguistic discrimination(語行上的歧視)is a thing of the past.

  An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regarded the native /non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. “No” was the answer. As long as candidates can teach and had the required level of English, it didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination--- this time justified because it singled out the unqualified--- liberated the linguistically oppressed(受壓迫的). But the Cambridge did more than just that: it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers were extremely similar.

  1999年1月攷題

  文章導讀

  一個英語教師的標准是什麼?是否是只有是a native English speaker就能够了呢?A native English speaker能否便比a non-native English speaker強呢?該篇漫笔對比了對英語教師過来跟現在的職業要乞降資格評價的情況,介紹了現在對本族語英語教師战非本族語英語教師一視同仁的變化。

  第一題 The selection of English teachers used to be mainly based on ________.

  題解:本題的主要線索是題乾中的“used to”。文章的第二段提到“十年前,……只如果a native English speaker,你就足以成為一位英語教師了”。換句話說,就是過去選擇英語教師的標准就是看您是不是a native English speaker。所以本題的正確答案能够是:…whether they were English speakers。

  要點:(1)留神谜底是作“on”賓語,後面又有“是不是……”,答案應該用由whether引導的名詞性從句;

  (2)題坤中的“used to”告訴我們谜底中也要用過往時態;假如疑脚寫成whether they are English speakers是要扣0.5分的;

  (3)題乾中的“English teachers”是一個復數,答案中也要用復數。若是信手寫成whether he was English speakers是要扣0.5分的;

  沒有回覆出正確內容,不得分。

  第两題 What did non-native English teachers deserve but seldom enjoy?

  題解:本題有較明確的線索,在第三段中有“something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed”,本題的答案顯然是這個“something”,那麼它毕竟指的是什麼呢?答案很簡單,在something的前面有一個破合號,去找一找前面的名詞短語就是了,所以答案是:the same status as their native counterparts。

  要點:問題是以what進止的提問并且問的是事物,所以要以名詞的情势做答。由於本題較簡單,扣分也比較狠。

  l 可得2.0分的回答:.

  1) The status that/which the native counterparts have.

  2) The same status as the native English teachers

  3) Having the same status as those native speakers.

  l 可得1.5分的回答:

  1) Same status as their native counterparts. 語法錯誤,應為The same status,扣0.5分。

  2) There shouldn’t be linguistic discrimination. 問題以what提問,應答复具體事物,但句子內容基础符合題義,因而扣0.5分。

  3) Raising them to the same status as the native speakers. 語態錯誤,應為被動語態,扣0.5分。

  4) They were at the same status as the native English teachers. 時態錯誤,應為現在時,扣0.5分。

  l 可得1分的回答:

  1. Recognition of professional status and skills and a job. 回答包括部份答案,但不片面也不明白,扣1分。

  2) Like their native counterparts.

  3) The chances to be an English teacher.

  4) The native English teacher
