(450words)PartA Text20/135大學(xué)生使用蘋果平板電腦、電子書能學(xué)好嗎？

與傳統(tǒng)教材相比，蘋果平板電腦(iPad)及其它數(shù)碼閱讀器從久遠(yuǎn)來看可能會(huì)節(jié)約教材成本，為學(xué)生提供更多更加好更加快捷信息，還能夠減輕學(xué)生背包重量——這點(diǎn)也是不小功勞。PartA Text Translation21/135

數(shù)字化學(xué)習(xí)有很多令人喜愛之處。比如，圣塔克拉拉大學(xué)一位19歲大學(xué)生克里斯多夫?帕斯夏就很觀賞他經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)電子書本搜索功效，他還說里面視頻剪輯提供了“一個(gè)新學(xué)習(xí)方法”，而且防止了“逐頁(yè)文字閱讀單調(diào)性”。

PartA Text Translation22/135

但最終他又說：“我以為讀傳統(tǒng)教材會(huì)了解得更加好.”為何呢？對(duì)于大學(xué)生來說，疲憊時(shí)候看電腦屏幕是困難，而且，看臉譜網(wǎng)(Facebook)、視頻網(wǎng)(YouTube)和電子郵件只是彈指一鍵事，所以也極難專注。PartA Text Translation23/135PartA Texttranslation

盡管很多問題正在或已經(jīng)處理，一些學(xué)生還沒完全準(zhǔn)備好將這些設(shè)備用于學(xué)習(xí)。有些教育教授認(rèn)為這種新技術(shù)帶來選擇可能會(huì)使學(xué)習(xí)變得更難而非更易。

PartA Text Translation24/135原因可能就是人們對(duì)這技術(shù)不熟悉，還未普及。電子閱讀器在休閑閱讀市場(chǎng)已經(jīng)流行起來，而出版商進(jìn)入教育市場(chǎng)腳步卻還很慢。原因各種各樣，但出版商面臨一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)就是，學(xué)習(xí)型閱讀比娛樂型閱讀要難。PartA Text Translation25/135

“通常，讀小說能夠一口氣從頭讀到尾?？唇滩膭t要不停地翻前翻后，而且要翻很屢次。”22歲馬特?利雷特說道.他是位于伊利諾斯州喬利埃特初級(jí)學(xué)院一名計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)生。PartA Text Translation26/135即便如此，人們對(duì)于電子閱覽技術(shù)應(yīng)用于大學(xué)期望依然很高。有些大學(xué)打算給大一新生發(fā)放iPad。加州大學(xué)歐文分校醫(yī)學(xué)院新生在近期開學(xué)儀式上，不但領(lǐng)了傳統(tǒng)白色衣袍，還領(lǐng)了iPad，里面已預(yù)先載入了第一年課程學(xué)習(xí)所需資料。PartA Text Translation27/135PartA Texttranslation包含里德學(xué)院和北卡羅來納州大學(xué)在內(nèi)其它幾十所大學(xué)也計(jì)劃讓學(xué)生體驗(yàn)一下iPad。依據(jù)信息化校園計(jì)劃，三分之二大學(xué)里技術(shù)主管去年秋季預(yù)言說，電子讀物在5年之內(nèi)會(huì)成為“一個(gè)主要教學(xué)資源平臺(tái)”。PartA Text Translation28/135PartA Texttranslation出版商們對(duì)于學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)也動(dòng)了大念頭呢?！澳莻€(gè)發(fā)展前景很好?！苯逃Y料出版社——皮爾森學(xué)習(xí)方案集團(tuán)董事長(zhǎng)唐?橋本說。PartA Text Translation29/135PartA Texttranslation

可能不可防止地會(huì)出現(xiàn)更多缺點(diǎn)，不過技術(shù)發(fā)展“提供了一次真正改進(jìn)教育機(jī)會(huì)”，卡普蘭?奧爾森說，“未來幾年，電子教科書可能會(huì)變得活靈活現(xiàn)，且具備互動(dòng)性，非常值得關(guān)注?！盤artA Text Translation30/135devicen. apieceofequipmentthathasbeendesignedtodoa

學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言有時(shí)就和減肥一樣困難。關(guān)鍵是怎樣在最初新鮮感消退后繼續(xù)維持興趣。在線語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)軟件引入了縱橫填字游戲、互動(dòng)視頻和其它游戲，來勉勵(lì)學(xué)習(xí)者不停取得進(jìn)步。PartB Text Translation77/135

那么，應(yīng)該怎樣選擇語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)品呢？“那些可進(jìn)行人際交流網(wǎng)站最有效”，一個(gè)澳大利亞語(yǔ)言教授如是說，“這些網(wǎng)站表達(dá)了計(jì)算機(jī)所無法具備人類優(yōu)點(diǎn)”。

“外語(yǔ)任我行”是“如師通”主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者。它優(yōu)勢(shì)在于，其軟件不但教授詞匯與短語(yǔ)，它各種視頻還能向?qū)W生展示怎樣經(jīng)過改變口形進(jìn)行正確發(fā)音。英國(guó)廣播企業(yè)（BBC）能為36門語(yǔ)言提供不一樣層次語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)指導(dǎo)，BBC制作了大量可重復(fù)播放、帶有譯文音頻或視頻專題節(jié)目。而且，簡(jiǎn)化版網(wǎng)絡(luò)學(xué)習(xí)課程能夠在智能手機(jī)或其它數(shù)碼設(shè)備上應(yīng)用。PartB Text Translation79/135

以上這些產(chǎn)品代表了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)在線語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)新趨勢(shì)。使用以上一個(gè)或幾個(gè)新產(chǎn)品，你便能更有效地學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言。
