Now turn to Section 4 on page 7.
2
Section 4.
3
You will hear part of a talk about research into learner persistence given by a university lecturer to her colleagues.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on pages 7 and 8.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
My talk is about a research study I did over a period of five years on learner persistence,
7
why some people stick at academic study better than others.
8
As teachers, you will know that there is a tremendous variation in the learner's response to certain things.
9
For example, a short period of illness might completely destabilize some students and cause them to give up their degree studies.
10
Other learners might overcome tremendous difficulties to stay the course.
11
I am particularly interested in this second group,
12
who are the ones with learner persistence.
13
What I decided to do was design a research study using a sample of my university's
14
third-year undergraduate students 295 in all who obviously had already stayed
15
the course pretty well the sample was drawn from a range of ages
16
but there was deliberately a significant number of mature students and all respondents were living at home in the local region
17
i wanted to have this element of consistency not having some coming from outside the area and living in university accommodation.
18
It should be noted, though,
19
that there was significant variation in home background to reflect the variation in our student population.
20
I designed questionnaires which were devised to elicit what their concerns had been as they started the course
21
and what had sustained them throughout the three years.
22
Findings from the first section indicated that their worries when they started It varied from financial concerns,
23
though this had not been as strong as I expected, to career prospects.
24
But mature students with children tended to emphasize uncertainties about their relationship with them.
25
The second section of my questionnaire looked at learner persistence under three main headings,
26
social and environmental factors, other factors,
27
and intrinsic or personal characteristics.
28
I identified three levels of importance for each of these.
29
At the first level, those points identified by participants as most important in learner persistence.
30
For social factors, many respondents said how crucial it had been to have good support,
31
though there was no one specific source.
32
It could be family or friends.
33
As regards other factors, students are heartened not so much by high grades,
34
but by what they regard as success in study.
35
And for personal characteristics, many respondents reported that they took pleasure in challenge and that this was regarded as very significant.
36
At the second level of importance,
37
in the first category, a sizable percentage talked about the fact
38
that they had enjoyed themselves in school as an important social factor.
39
In the second column, Other Factors,
40
a number of people said that what was of most importance was decent health.
41
This had a fairly strong influence on their persistence in their studies.
42
And then, under the heading of Personal Characteristics,
43
there were quite a large percentage of respondents
44
who mentioned they felt it was important to have lots of interests in their everyday lives.
45
This gave them a depth and sense of perspective,
46
which less persistent learners might lack.
47
And then, on to the third level.
48
Under social factors, several respondents talked about good relationships with their tutors.
49
For other factors, they mentioned lack or absence of any problems in their families.
50
and finally, under column 3,
51
they identified an ability to juggle several roles,
52
what we might call their capacity for multitasking.
53
Now, these findings obviously helped inform the design of activities, as I mentioned.
54
But in addition, a number of further recommendations emerged.
55
Firstly, I propose
56
that the department distributes questionnaires to first-year students to help get an idea of their maturity when starting the course.
57
This is really our overriding concern.
58
secondly I recommend we look into ways of offering induction courses
59
for some selected students to allow them to take on the
60
role of advisors we think they are the best people to act in
61
that role this policy will make support much more accessible to
62
our students thirdly this help is often most needed in the evening
63
and night when offices are closed and
64
so we should set up online services instead of the more traditional telephone services research has shown
65
that these services are actually more accessible to the majority of students
66
and finally it is often important to be proactive
67
if students are not meeting deadlines then someone should contact them
68
rather than wait for them to come to us now are there any questions about the point
69
That is the end of Section 4.
70
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
71
Thank you.

關鍵詞彙與短語
- 永續性(Persistence) - 指學習者在面臨挑戰時不斷努力的能力。
- 學術研究(Academic Study) - 指在學校或大學的學習活動。
- 社交因素(Social Factors) - 影響學習永續性的與他人互動的方面。

練習技巧
為了更好地練習英語口語,建議您使用英語影子跟讀(shadowspeak)技術。在聽講師的演講時,可以嘗試即時跟讀,以提高您的發音和語音流暢度。在這個影片中,講師的語速適中,非常適合初學者和中級學習者進行影子演講(shadow speech)練習。確保您不僅僅是在跟讀單詞,也要注意語調和情感表達,使您的口語更富有表現力。
在進行shadowing site練習時,您可以暫停影片,重複講師的句子。這樣,您不僅能練習發音,還能加深對內容的理解,同時提高您的聽力技能。切記,持久地與有挑戰性的材料進行練習是提升英語水平的關鍵。
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
