One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total.   55   the faults already found out in the education system as a whole-such as child-cantered learning, the “discovery”method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils-there have been several serious     56     which have a direct effect on language teaching.

The first is the removal from the curriculum（課程）of the thorough teaching of English

57    . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.

Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so   58    that the most able pupils are     59     and are bored while the least able are lost and    60   Bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favor of mixed-ability school football teams.

Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having     61     lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later.  62     they never need it, they do not practice it.

Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and     63     modem languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop     64     resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
