摘要

本文报告了一项初步研究，该研究表明，英国14岁儿童的外语词汇知识仅为希腊和德国同等水平学习者的三分之一到二分之一。英国教学大纲的目标和可供正式学习的时间相对较少。英国普通中等教育证书教学大纲是否能达到教授外语交际能力的目的，这是值得怀疑的。教学大纲似乎对能力最强和最差的学习者尤其不利。

Are the British Really Bad at Learning Foreign Languages

This paper reports a pilot study which shows that British 14 year olds only have one third to one half of the foreign language vocabulary knowledge of equivalent Greek and German learners. British syllabus objectives and the hours available for formal study are commensurately smaller. It is questioned whether the British GCSE syllabus can meet its own objective to teach communicative ability in a foreign language. The syllabus appears to be particularly disadvantageous to the most and least able learners.

期刊介绍： The Language Learning Journal (LLJ) provides a forum for scholarly contributions on current aspects of foreign language and teaching. LLJ is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is intended for an international readership, including foreign language teachers, language teacher educators, researchers and policy makers. Contributions, in English, tend to assume a certain range of target languages. These are usually, but not exclusively, the languages of mainland Europe and ‘Community Languages’; other languages, including English as a foreign language, may also be appropriate, where the discussion is sufficiently generalisable. The following are key areas of interest: -Relationships between policy, theory and practice- Pedagogical practices in classrooms and less formal settings Foreign language learning/teaching in all phases, from early learners to higher and adult education- Policy and practice in the UK and other countries- Classroom practice in all its aspects- Classroom-based research- Methodological questions in teaching and research- Multilingualism and multiculturalism- New technologies and foreign languages
