Today's English students have a lot of exposure to the language outside of the classroom. By using the Internet, social media, and other digital technologies, they can watch videos, hear music, and play video games in English.
But teachers are not so sure that digital exposure results in better English-speaking abilities. That is the finding of a new study on how teenagers learn English.
The study is called"How 15-Year-Olds Learn English". It provides case studies of teaching teenagers English from five countries: Finland, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands and Portugal.
The researchers collected information by visiting schools and observing English lessons in each country. They also interviewed teachers, students and school administrators.
Some students in Greece said it is easier to search for English-language information on the Internet because more of it is available. In the Netherlands, 15-year-olds described watching English videos online.
In a written opinion study, half of students in the Netherlands reported always using English when using digital tools. Teachers, however, are unsure whether digital tools are improving students' English knowledge. While teachers said using English platforms might increase students' motivation(动力) to learn and help them get used to the language, the platforms are not necessarily teaching them English.
A large part of the work, the researchers said, is examining inequities(不公平) in education. There can be large inequities that arise from the kinds of out-of - school exposure kids get to English. Kids from wealthy families are able to travel to English-speaking countries or attend summer camps where they can speak English to international friends, for example. "Kids living in cities are more likely to be usingEnglish out and about in their daily lives, compared to kids in more rural areas.
There has been a big change in how students are exposed to English outside of school. But within the classroom, things"hadn't really changed". The report noted how digital technologies are used within the classroom, but traditional teaching methods, like textbooks, are still used in every school observed.
(1)、According to the passage, how do students use digital technologies to learn English outside of the classroom?(2)、In what way did the researchers collect information they needed?(3)、In teachers' opinions, how might English platforms do good to students?(4)、What's the seventh paragraph mainly about?(5)、What would you like to do in order to learn English outside of school? Why? -

Ella was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and an Irish mother. She spent the first few years of her life in the Netherlands, speaking onlyDutch. After her parents separated, her father moved toSpain, and her mother took Ella to Ireland. Today, Ella can speak English and Spanish— but not Dutch.
"It's strange that I can't speak in my mother tongue, "she tells us.
It might seem strange, but it's certainly possible for people to get worse at speaking their native language — and sometimes lose it completely. This phenomenon (现象) is known as"language attrition (削弱), " and it's often observed in migrants who spend many years away from their home country.
It might be easier to understand this in children, like Ella — research has found that children are quick to pick up new languages, but their language skills are also more vulnerable(脆弱的) to change.
However, language attrition is also found in adults. "The minute you start learning another language, the two systems start to compete with each other, " MonikaSchmid, a linguist at the University of Essex, said.
While there have been cases of adults losing their native language completely, more often f luency (流利)in the native languages simply decreases, and the speaker becomes more prone(易于……的) to mixing languages.
The degree to which f luency decreases depends on different things, Schmid said. If a person has an innate(天生的) talent for languages, they're less likely to lose fluency, for example.
Interestingly, migrants who spend time with others who speak both of their languages could be more prone to losing f luency in their native language — because they put less effort into keeping those languages separate in their minds, since both are understood.
Things like negative memories of their home country might even encourage someone to lose their connection to the language they used there.
But Laura Dominguez from the University ofSouthampton said that language attrition isn't a bad thing— it's a natural process, since people make changes to their language that are consistent(相符的) with their new realities.

At the end of 2021, Zhang was diagnosed with cancer. At the beginning of the spring semester in March2022, Zhang returned to her work even though she had not fully recovered.
