TAPESCRIPT

In an informal survey carried out in Perth, western of Australia, students were asked

to give their views on what makes an effective school 80 per cent of the students felt that mutual respect in the classroom was essential learning to take place This impliedthat students should be treated as individuals with both their strengths and their

weaknesses 60 per cent of the students felt they should be encouraged to set realistic goals for their learning, and to have positive attitudes towards themselves and others.About 55 per cent of the students expected their teachers to be motivated and

interested in what they were doing: this would then reflect in their performance of the students Nearly all the students believed that learning should be centered on

important life skills such as communication, building self-respect and self-

confidence, the ability to learn from failure, and time management, suited to the maturity of the students concerned.

One hundred per cent of the students felt that the social side of school was as

important as academic activities The older students felt that they should be allowed

to give some input school decision making a direct effect on students

Task 2.

1 Where did the survey take place?

—> It took place in Perth

2 What percentage of the students felt mutual respect was essential for

effective learning to take place?

—> 80 percent of the students

3 What did the older students feel?

—> They felt that they should be allowed to give some input into school decision making

After you listen: Discuss the question: Which do you think is more essential for better learning - good teachers or good textbooks?

Textbooks are essential teaching and learning materials in any program and syllabus Having good textbooks is very important Good textbooks provide students with adequate knowledge, skills and practice Good textbooks also guide students how to learn and help them study effectively on their own

However, having good teachers may be more important than having good textbooks because a good teacher can turn a poor quality textbook into an interesting one In fact, a good teacher can even replace the textbook, motivate students to learn, and train them to use self-studying skills Besides that, the teachers must take

responsibilities for the students’ learning
