We see the curriculum in terms of what the children and teachers do and what they learn from this, so we talk about experience and understanding. We aim to provide that the children will learn and for the ideas and information they will encounter . We teach to develop the children's language through both their experience and a stimulating environment, so that they learn to speak fluently, accurately and with confidence, to read, write and spell, to listen and to think imaginatively, to question and discuss. We work to engender a love of books and a desire to read for pleasure and information. ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. The academic programs differ greatly in various universities. Students may concentrate in any academic departments and must take a special number of compulsory courses. However, they may simultaneously be involved in one or more interdepartmental programs. Students are free in selecting all courses available, which gives them a considerable flexibility in creating their own academic programs. Thus, there are no two identical undergraduate careers, especially in prestigious universities. Nowadays, most college programs are in the form of what is called liberal arts. The emphasis in liberal arts education is placed on literacy in science, appreciation of arts, the development of critical thinking, and an understanding of our own and other cultures. It is aimed at giving the students a broad-based education. This means that over four years students take courses in history and humanities, social and political science, economics and psychology, natural science and mathematics, and even fine arts (music, sculpture, painting). Such liberal education provides an enormous advantage in fierce competition for entrance to the job market or professional and graduate schools, for many employers nowadays look for young people with analytic, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, broad knowledge background and flexibility of mind complemented by the ability to learn and adjust to changes. The tuition fees alone are rather high (ranging from $10,000 for an academic year at Harvard or Yale to under $1,000 at small public institutions). However, colleges are eager to help needy students who are able and highly motivated with scholarships, loans, as well as special programs (e.g. work-study programs, financial assistance programs) that are provided by the states and federal governments. In addition, an ever-increasing number of students hold jobs besides studying. These part-time jobs may be either “on campus*” (in the dormitories, cafeterias, services, in research and teaching), or “off campus” (with local firms, in offices, etc.). In this way, for example, more than half of all students at Stanford University earn a significant part of their college expenses during the school year, and the average scholarship is $4,500 per year. Thus, any student who really wants to can finance his education. Most universities require mid-semester and final (end-of-semester) examinations. They are usually written. Mid-terms are given during class time, finals are held during the last week of the semester, each lasts three hours. Students may have two finals a day, which means six hours of writing. For classes like history, literature, or even science there are essay questions; for math there are problems to solve. Since it takes time for teachers to grade such written exams, students receive their grades in the mail a month, or two later. It is possible, as a great many students have learned, to “flunk out” of the university, that is to be asked to leave because of poor grades. So, many students who have scholarships must maintain a certain grade average to keep their scholarships.

My first task this morning, and it's a very happy one for me to perform, is to welcome all of you to this first tutorial for the University of Brancaster course A753 on Art in Italy.I'll be passing around a paper on which I'd like you to write your names, so that I know exactly who's been present, and, as is the case for all tutorials, this also means that if anyone who should be here is not, then I'll be able to put any of the handouts given out during the tutorial in the post, so that you'll get the essential information in some form or other. Now there are two basic areas that I intend to deal with today. Past experience has shown that students starting the course have two areas of anxiety: the first is with how their work is going to be assessed, and the second is how best to study for the course. As you will know if you've read the information sent to the course participants before the start of the course, you will be required to supply four pieces of written work for assessment purposes. Each of these Tutor Marked Assignments or TMA's as we call them must be submitted by the date laid down in your course details, and it's absolutely necessary to meet these requirement. No late assiegnments will be marked, whatever the reason for their being late, and your grade for the course will be affected. Now I have some more important remarks to make about the actual mechanics of TMA writing. Although, as I have said, it is essential that you submit your assignment by the required date, I don't want you to feel too worried when you sit down to write the first one. Regard it as a chance to learn from the mistakes you're bound to make. Word length is always laid down, and for the first TMA it is 2,000 words. You can regard this as a guide, and anything within 500 words either way will be acceptable. Remember that it is important to consider the question carefully and address yourself to the relevant issues. Length isn't an automatic indicator of quality. Legibility is important, it always helps if what you've written is easy to read. For this reason, we always prefer assignments to be typed if at all possible. If this is not possible, then please write as clearly as you can, allowing good margins so that comments can be written in. And it will help if you write on one side of the paper only. You'll also be receiving a separately written report on what you've submitted, with a grade. At the end of your assignment, be sure to indicate all your sources of information - a bibliography including information about the publisher and date should appear at the end of the assignment, and don't forget to acknowledge quotations. Now before I move on to talk about how best to study for the course, would anyone like to ask any questions? Vocabulary to the textto perform - выполнять, совершать; tutor - наставник, куратор; tutorial - инструктивное занятие; to pass around - передавать друг другу, по рядам; exactly - точно; handouts - раздаточные материалы; essential - основной, существенный; to intend - намереваться, собираться; to deal (with) - иметь дело (с); anxiety - беспокойство, тревога; to assess - оценивать; to require - требовать(ся); to supply - здесь: предоставлять; grade - (амер.) оценка; to affect - влиять; remаrk - замечание, примечание; to submit (to) - предоставлять; laid down - здесь: указанный; assignement - задание; здесь: работа; to regard - рассматривать, считать; to be bound to make - неизбежно сделать; guide - руководство; within - в пределах; acceptable - приемлемо, допустимо; relevant - уместный, относящийся к делу; issue - вопрос; legibility - четкость (почерка); margins - поля (в тетради); to include - включать source - источник; to acknowledge - признавать; здесь: указать; quotation - цитата.

Text 1-B Managing your study time I WAS in a student coffee bar during my first week at university soaking in the atmosphere when a lad from Oldham, announced calmly that he intended to get a first in classics. He would work 25 hours a week, study five hours a day on weekdays and leave the weekends free. That would be sufficient. I was committed to endless hours of work. I imagined that at some point I would spend weeks of intensive study. The vice-chancellor had told us in his address to freshers to look at the person on either side and note that in all probability one of us would not be around the following year. The message struck me: I would turn myself into a paragon of academic virtue. I could see that the classicist in the coffee bar had got it all wrong, or was bluffing. Three years later he got his first whilst other friends struggled to very modest achievements. As I discovered when sharing a flat with him, he worked more or less to the plan he had outlined. He slept late in the mornings, only stirring himself if there was a lecture to attend. He played cards with the rest of us after lunch. Then he moved to his desk and stayed there till around seven. The evenings he spent more wildly than most – because of the late mornings. Nevertheless, when I came to look back I realised he had studied more than anyone else I knew. Through sticking assiduously to a modest but well-defined, realistic plan, he had achieved a great deal. He had enjoyed work much more, too. He argued that it was not possible to work productively at intensive intellectual tasks for more than a few hours at a time. I aimed to do much more. But I was easily distracted. By the time it was apparent that stretches of a day had slipped away, I felt so guilty that I blotted studies out of my mind, comforting myself with the thought of all the days which lay ahead. I was too inexperienced at looking after my own affairs to realise I was already failing one of the major tests of studenthood, the organisation of time. I thought that success in studying was to do with how brilliantly clever and original you were; I had yet to discover that one of the central challenges of adult life is time management. At school the work timetable was defined for us and teachers made sure we fitted all that was required into the school year. At university I was at sea. Time came in great undifferentiated swathes. What to do with it all? With 168 hours in a week – or 105, allowing nine a day for sleeping and eating – how many was it reasonable to spend on study? Individuals vary and different subjects make different demands. Nevertheless with a target you can plan your studies, not just waste your time. The sketch of weekly timetables, setting aside 40 hours to cover all study, is an invaluable aid in defining time. Then you can divide it into segments and use it strategically, rather than let it dribble away. Defining what to do is harder. Take the booklists. How many books are students expected to read? How long should a book take? It took me so long to read just a few pages that I felt defeated when I looked ahead. Should I take notes? How many? What would I need them for? I would sit in the library for a whole day, dipping into one book after another. What was my purpose? How would I know when I had achieved it? By comparison I went to lectures gratefully – at least I knew when they started and finished. Although my lecture notes weren’t up to much, I could tell myself I had accomplished something, which would bring down my anxiety level. Much later I discovered I could learn a great deal from a close reading of selected sections; that taking notes could sometimes be very satisfying and at other time was not necessary. The trick was to take control; to decide what I wanted to find out – something specific – and then work at it until I had taken in enough to think about for the time being. Dividing big jobs into smaller subtasks helps to bring work under control, allows you to set targets and check your progress. There is so much pressure to be ambitious -–to go for the long dissertation, to read the huge tomes. Yet achievement arises out of quite modest activities undertaken on a small scale. The trouble with the big tasks is that you keep putting them off. Their scope and shape is unclear and we all flee from uncertainty. The more you can define your work as small, discrete, concrete tasks, the more control you have over it. Organising tasks into the time available can itself be divided into strategy and application. It is useful to think of yourself as “investing” time. Some tasks require intense concentration and need to be done at a prime time of day, when you are at your best and have time to spare. Others can be fitted in when you are tired, or as “warm-up” activities at the start of a session. Some, such as essay writing, may best be spread over several days. Some need to be done straight away. There are few reliable guidelines. Essentially you have to keep circling round a self-monitoring loop: plan an approach to a task, try it out, reflect afterwards on your success in achieving what you intended and then revise your strategy. Once you start to think strategically, you begin to take control of your studies rather than letting them swamp you.

Text I-C Vocational Education Part 1 (A passage from the article.) As well as academic subjects improve students' minds and prepare them for college, a lot of high schools in the United States offer vocational courses. These prepare students for particular jobs. At different high schools in California, students can learn how to become cooks and waiters in hotels and restaurants or mechanics and salespeople in garages and service stations. The courses are available to high school students during the day as part of their normal school program. In the evenings they are also available to other people, who are not at school. Gene Abbott runs a course in automotive repair at San Rafael High School. He teachers his students how to repair cars. He gives some lessons in a classroom, but most of the course takes place in the workshop. It's a practical course, so students learn by doing as well by studying. Part 2 Australia Plans Big Expansion in Vocational Training By GEOFFREY MASLEN MELBOURNE The Australian government will spend $750-minion (U.S.) over the next three years on post secondary education and (raining programs 10 create an extra 120.000 places for students The plan was announced by the Prime Minister, Paul Healing, as part of an ambitious $1.7 billion spending package to try to revive the nation's ailing economy. Mr. Keating said Inc federal government would lake over full financing of "technical and further education"—known here as TAFE —from the states to create an expanded system of vocational-education institutes. The plan represents a shift in government emphasis away from higher education to what the Prime Minister called "the weak reed" of technical and vocational training. Australia's tape system is the larger of (he two post secondary education sectors and now enrolls nearly a million students. It provides para-professional, technical and technological diplomas and certificates. But TAFE- colleges are a stale responsibility, and they have been left behind in the huge expansion of the federally supported higher-education system over the past 10 years. Mr. Keating said the federal government would allocate more than $525-million between 1993 to 1995 to upgrade the technical and further education system and insure a sustained increase in students’ participation. An immediate infusion of about $30-million would create an additional 10.000 vocational-training places starting in July. Severe Overcrowding An extra Sl5-million would be allocated to new construction at universities over the next 12 months to be matched by $20-million from the institutions themselves. Most universities experienced severe overcrowding last year and have had to cut back on enrollment this year despite a huge surge in student demand. Under the new plans, state and territory governments will retain responsibility for TAFE management and administration, while the federal government will take over the control and functional support for the sector.
