New research from the BreakingNewsEnglish.com website suggests that news is good for students. A researcher asked many teachers and students in an online class their opinions on using the news to learn English. Almost everyone said it was very important. One student said he enjoyed studying using news because the story is real. He said he remembered many times when the teacher put a headline on the whiteboard and he was surprised that it was that day's breaking news. Another student said she thought news was a lot more interesting than other types of topics in her lessons. She said she felt good when she understood the news in English. She also learnt a lot of useful "international vocabulary".
新闻英语网站的一项研究表明新闻有利于学生学习。研究人员就利用新闻学习英语一事在网络课堂上询问了老师和学生的意见。几乎所有人都认为利用新闻学习英语很重要。一位学生说他喜欢这样的学习方法,因为新闻故事是真实的。他还说他好几次都记得老师在白板上写下大标题,让他惊奇的是这些都是当天的头条新闻。另一名学生认为新闻比课堂上的其他标题都有趣。她还说理解英语新闻让她感到非常好。她还学习了许多“国际词汇”。
Teachers were also enthusiastic about using news in the classroom. Many said students had problems with listening, so they made the recording1 slower to help their students. Teachers also liked news stories because they encouraged conversation. Many teachers said their students talked non-stop about news of their own country or city. Teachers also said news was useful because students already had a lot of background knowledge from listening to or reading about a news item2 in their own language. Teachers also liked the fact that they could do many kinds of activities, such as role plays, debates, surveys, quizzes3 and language games. One teacher said he thought listening to news was "unhealthy for students".
老师也喜欢在课堂上使用新闻。许多人认为学生的听力不好,所以他们就减慢速度来帮助学生理解。老师还喜欢新闻故事,因为这样能够激发他们的交流。许多老师说学生会滔滔不绝地讲述自己国家或城市的新闻。老师们还说新闻非常有用,因为学生已经通过听新闻得到了许多背景信息,或是已经用母语阅读了许多信息。老师们还说他们可以做各种各样的活动,例如角色扮演、讨论、研究、小测验或是语言游戏。还有位老师认为听新闻对学生是有害的。
