應(yīng)有效使用語(yǔ)言實(shí)驗(yàn)室
【內(nèi)容提示】
下面是《英文21世紀(jì)報(bào)》第Ⅳ版一個(gè)稱為“Teacher's Page”欄目的前言部分。假定你是該版的編輯，請(qǐng)你為它寫一段50個(gè)詞左右的“編者按”（Editor's note）。
Language Laboratories Should Be Used Effectively
The chief drawback (缺陷) of oral interview tests (口試) is the time which is needed. Each student must be tested individually (個(gè)別地), and even a short test which takes only five or 10 minutes becomes very time-consuming (費(fèi)時(shí)的) when given separately to 30 students.
The use of a language makes it possible to give oral tests to a large number of students in a short time. But it would be foolish to claim (聲稱) that a speaking test using pre-recorded (事先錄音的)material could ever be superior (優(yōu)于) to a genuine (真正的) face-to-face interview.
Nevertheless, for certain limited purposes, a language laboratory can offer a means of encouraging students to speak English and to become accustomed to responding (回答) various questions which may possibly arise (出現(xiàn)) in real life.
Examples will be given in this section of the types of oral exercises and activities for use in the language laboratory.
