Streaming in the foreign language school
Abstract
The school is a microcosm of society and the nature of the school will influence the nature of the foreign language learner in it. Language schools which fail to provide a stimulating learning atmosphere will fail to develop satisfactory patterns of emotional and intellectual behaviour in the learners. Language schools which put learners into different streams are likely to produce a less stimulating environment for the learners in the lower streams. Streaming also seems to accentuate the emotional problems of the learners in the lower classes. Schools which are not streamed have provided evidence which suggests that unstreaming alleviates some of the emotional and social difficulties of the lower stream learners. The main objective of this work, therefore, is to draw foreign language teachers’ attention, through some practical comments/suggestions, on how to face the question of streaming and how to deal with it efficiently.
Key-words: streaming, emotional effect, foreign language school, learning.Downloads
