A British sociologist has advanced the theory that many working-class children are unsuccessful at school because of the nature of their language. They use what he terms a “restricted” code of speech, whereas most teachers use an“elaborated” code, which is familiar to middle-class children.
Working-class language is a language of personal experience and direct command, rather than rationalization and distinction between subtleties. In school, however, the latter abilities are demanded of children. Middle-class children, who have been brought up in such a way as to enable them to respond to argument and reasoning, are able to cope with the classroom situation much better than their teacher's saying.
So it seems that working-class children fail to take full advantage of the educational system, not because they are less bright than middle-class children, but because the language of the classroom is alien to them.
(1) How is working-class said to differ from middle-class language?
[ ]
A.Working-class language is poor and limited.
B.Working-class language is not good for children.
C.Working-class language is easy to learn.
D.Working-class language is difficult to understand.
(2) What advantage do middle-class children have over working-class children at school?
[ ]
A.Middle-class children can do much better in the classroom.
B.Middle-class children can't understand what teacher said.
C.Middle-class children are cleverer than working-class children.
D.Teachers care more about middle-class children.
(3) Why is the language of the classroom alien to working-class children?
[ ]
A.Because teachers' language is not easy to learn.
B.Because teachers are middle-class people.
C.Because teachers' language is close to the middle-class language.
D.Because working-class children are less bright.
(4) Why do middle-class children seem to be more intelligent than working-class children?
[ ]
A.Because their parents are more strict with them.
B.Because they have been brought up by their parents.
C.Because working-class children are not working hard.
D.Because they can understand their teachers better.
(5) How might the gap between working-class children and their teachers be narrowed?
[ ]
A.Working-class children should be kept away from their families.
B.Teachers should learn the working-class language.
C.Both the working-class children and their teachers should learn from each other.
D.Working-class parents should receive more education.
