Listening Tasks

Radio and TV
The most obvious difference between radio and television is that you listen and look at the television, but just listen to the radio. In this way, radio is more imaginative because it forces you to form pictures in your own mind rather than providing you with visual information, which is what television does.
In addition, radio is more flexible than television, since you don't have to be in the same room as the radio set in order to listen to the programs, but you do have to be in the same room as a television in order to watch it.
A radio is also far more portable than a television. You can listen to the radio while driving in the car, jogging or even just walking around. Although portable televisions do exist, you can't really watch one while you are jogging, for example.
One of the main advantages of radio, however, is that it offers the listener more immediate access to information. Most radio stations broadcast news reports at regular half-hour or hourly intervals, but television news is only broadcast a few times each day. Also, the variety of topics you get on the radio is much greater than that on television.
Radio is more personal than television. Many radio programs are interactive in a way that television can never be. Listeners can call the radio station they are listening to and express their thoughts and opinions live on air. You can't ring up a television station and express your opinions, can you?
Language and Culture Notes
1.Background information From its appearance at the beginning of the 20th century, radio had been a major provider of news and entertainment until television came into being. The early models of the modern television appeared in the 1920s but its popularity did not begin until after World War II, especially until after color TV became available in the 1960s. Today TV sets are much more sophisticated. Not only are they attached with remote control, but they can be hooked to VCR, VCD, DVD and even to the Internet. So it is not surprising that more and more people now watch TV to get news, sports, and a great variety of entertainment. Yet television cannot completely replace radio. Many people still like radio because of its compactness in size. Radio also survives as a major part of a tape recorder, a hi-fi and a necessary component of a car. To adapt to the invention of TV, radio has also made great changes in its system, and in the way it presents programs. The stereo system, for example, is successful in winning music lovers to radio programs.
2. portable television A television set about 3" in size and can easily be carried or moved
3. at regular half-hour or hourly intervals(the program is broadcast on the radio) every half hour or every hour
4. Many radio programs are interactive …Program hosts or hostesses can get immediate feedback from their listeners and they can discuss a topic on the air. With TV, however, audience interaction is more difficult. The usual way is to send out a TV crew to bring in live coverage of people's response to some event.
5.live on air Listeners' thoughts or opinions can be heard on the radio at the moment they are spoken rather than later on a recording.

Script
The Benson Family’s Decision
Have you ever spent a year without television? A year ago the Benson family decided that they were spending too much time in front of the box. So they got rid of it. And they have been
living without a television for almost a year now. How have they been spending their free time then?
“We found it very hard for the first few weeks,” says Mrs. Benson. “We didn’t know what to do with our free time. But since then it’s been fine. We’ve done so many things that we hadn’t done for such a long time. Last year, for example, we didn’t go out to the cinema or the theatre once, but this year we’ve seen at least a dozen films and plays. And I’ve even joined the local drama society.
Mr. Benson has taken up tennis. Daughter Emily has been learning to play the piano and son Mark has been going to judo (柔道) classes. And they’ve all read more books. Mark said, “This year I’ve read about ten novels and five or six other books, too.”
So haven’t they missed the box at all? Emily says she has had a few problems: “I don’t like it when I go to school and all the kids are talking about a program that they’ve seen. Actually, I’ve just been watching a program at my friend’s house.”
Nevertheless, according to Mr. Benson, “We’ve all started doing so many interesting things that we wouldn’t have time to watch TV now.”

Test Your Listening
A Compound Dictation
Listen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.
There are different 1) types of media today. News and 2) entertainment
are communicated to us in a number of different ways, using different media. It may be 3) print media such as newspapers and magazines, or 4) electronic media such as radio and television. The word media is most often used to refer to the communication of news, and in this 5) context means the same as news media.
Programs on radio and television may be referred to formally as 6) broadcasts or informally as shows, especially in American English. The person who 7) presents a program or a show on radio or TV is a host or hostess but the one who hosts a popular music program is called a disk jockey or DJ.
8) News programs may be hosted by an anchor, either a man or a woman, who is sometimes more famous than the people in the news. In more traditional news programs, the news is read by a newsreader.
There are many broadcasting organizations in a country and competition among them is serious. 9) Most TV and radio networks want to increase the size of their audience, or their ratings. Good ratings are especially important during prime-time, the time of day when most people watch TV. This is not surprising as high audience figures attract more advertising or commercials to be shown in commercial breaks between programs. And 10) the broadcasting organization that can attract most advertising makes most money.

Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right.

高级德语精读课程教学法的选择与应用_师燕君
2013年第28卷 第2期 南昌教育学院学报 外语研究收稿日期：2013-01-16 作者简介：师燕君（1981-），女，河北石家庄人，讲师，从事德语语言学、教学法方向的研究。 一、前言 高等学校德语专业高年级阶段的主要教学任务要求为继续巩固和加强语言基本功；在对听，说，读，写，译等各单项技能提出更高要求的基础上，提高学生共和运用语言进行交际的能力；传授德语专业知识和相关专业知识，扩大和丰富学生的知识面；鼓励学生在扎实的语言知识基础上向一定的复合专业方向发展。高级德语精读作为高校德语专业高年级的主干课程，承担了大部分教学任务，因此如何教授高级德语课程，采用哪一种或者哪几种教学法能够在实际授课中取得最佳的效果，如何采用教学法设计高级德语课程亟待关注，并成为了本文研究的主题。 二、高级德语精读课程特点 高级德语是基础德语课程的延续和发展，使用教材普遍为2003上外版《高级德语教程》，该教材课文题材丰富，但由于出版日期较早，文章内容有些老旧；课后练习多样化，但大量词汇练习让部分学生产生厌倦和畏难情绪；实际教学过程中普遍存在授课时间紧，教学任务重等难题；授课对象为德语专业三年级学生，普遍拥有一定的德语基础知识，大体掌握德语语法，有一定的听说能力，且作为90后，大多数学生具有较强的表现欲和求知欲，但德语综合能力亟待继续提高。 三、各类外语教学法的运用 外语教学法的流派主要分为语法翻译法，直接法，视听法，交际法等。各类流派各有簇拥，也各有短长。譬如采用语法翻译法对课文进行逐一的翻译讲解，优点是学生对语法概念清晰，能够较好培养学生分析句子结构，理解句意的能力，但是往往忽视交际训练，不利于培养学生的综合素质；直接法重视口语教学，注重实践，但是由于不使用母语，使学生对抽象或者复杂的概念难以理解。听说法对学生对语言的整体感知很有帮助，却忽略了写作能力的培养。任务型教学法强调以学生为主体，能够提高学生学习的主动性和积极性，但教学花费时间较长，学生往往在完成多个任务过程中重复劳动，在一个小组讲述任务成果时其他小组较难汲取知识，课堂收益较低。 1.语法翻译法与高德教学。在实践教学中笔者发现，高级德语授课阶段课文中经常出现一些德语长句，语法结构比较复杂，学生在阅读时不但存在语法分析的困难，在用中文复述句意时也存在问题。所以从中国学生学习德语的实际情况出发，该教学法依然适合中国的德语教学，并没有过时。 例如《高级德语教程》上册第八页中的长句“W re es nicht zweckm iger, seinen Pr fer schon zu Beginn des Hauptstudiums anzuvisieren, vorrangig seine Veranstaltungen zu besuchen, um dann seine Eigenheiten selbst beurteilen zu k nnen, statt sich auf Campus- Gefl ster zu verlassen?”本句中存在虚拟式，不定式及其扩展结构等若干语法难点，教师应当结合语法重点与学生一起分析句式并给出合适的中文翻译。 2.直接教学法与高德教学。使用直接教学法的教学过程不采用母语，而是采用德语直接讲解，有助于学生听说能力的培养，在课文的讲授过程中，对词汇的解释大多采用此方法。例如上一例子中的“vorrangig”讲授时并不提及其中文含义，而是使用学生已知的同义词“in erster Linie”, “an erster Stelle”，“vor allem”予以解释，同时补充扩展“berwiegend”，“zuallererst”等，在理解的基础上引导学生用以上词汇造句，进一步加深理解和印象。 除词汇教学中多采用此法外，德语课文讲析也多采用此法。基础德语阶段的语法知识在高级阶段复习时采用德语教学，绝大多数学生都能够接受领会，例如《高级德语教程》上册第三页中“Die Hochschulpr fungen sind von Pr fungsaussch ssen der jeweiligen Fachbereiche der betreffenden Hochschule abzulegen.” 句中包含德语被动句的替换形式，教师可用德语指出该句中的语法现象，并用德语引导学生讲出另一种被动句的替换形式 “Die Hochschulpr fungen lassen sich von Pr fungsaussch ssen der jeweiligen Fachbereiche der betreffenden Hochschule ablegen.”，及被动句的原始句型“Die Hochschulpr fungen warden von Pr fungsaussch ssen der jeweiligen Fachbereiche der betreffenden Hochschule abgelegt.”，通过这一过程，不但加深了学生对语法的理解，同时也锻炼了听说能力。 3.听说教学法与高德教学。听说教学法的特点是广泛利用现代化教学技术手段，通过多种途径进行强化刺激学习。在以往的教学中人们往往认为听说法重视听说而忽略读写，但是在实际教学活动中适当的使用听说法，运用现代化教学手段，可以提高学生学习的兴趣，取得较理想的授课效果。 4.任务教学法与高德教学。任务教学法强调以学生为主体，教师围绕课文相关的交际和语言项目，设计出具体的、可操作的任务，学生通过表达、沟通、交涉、解释、询问等各种语言活动形式来完成任务，以达到学习和掌握语言的目的。任务型教学法吸收了以上多种教学法的优点，在高级德语精读的教学中使用频率相当高。 在课堂提问的设计方面，较之基础德语教学阶段大量的“对不对”，“是不是”，等问题的提出，高级德语精读阶段应更侧重于“为什么”等开放性的问题，在教授一些文学性作品，可引导学生思考，“你最喜欢哪个情节，为什么”，“你和作者想法哪里一致，哪里不同”等等。语言能力不单单体现在词语和句式的正确体会和使用，更在于使用者全部的智慧和素养的综合 高级德语精读课程教学法的选择与应用 师燕君 （南京工业大学外国语学院 江苏南京 210000） 摘 要：本文在分析高级德语精读课程教学目标以及课程特点的基础上，以理论分析和案例分析的形式，探讨语法翻译法、直接教学法、听说教学法和任务教学法在高级德语精读课程中的运用。研究结果表明，上述几种教学在实际授课过程中各有优势，根据不同的课程内容和学生能力选择不同的教学方法，可以使得该课程取得良好的授课效果。 关键词：高级德语精读；教学法；教学效果分析 中图分类号：H319 文献标识码：A 文章编号：1008-6757（2013）02-0152-02

Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice. A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend: Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone! A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil: Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate.

Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation.

Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit.
