The relationship between the level of social environment and education after education can be described in a theory called "Desktop Rule".
Any education has a completion phase. At this stage, specialized education will stop, and the knowledge and ability of this area should rely on graduates' future social practice conditions. If the social environment is constantly, a lot of practices involving educational content, the results of these education will consolidate and improve. Conversely, if their environment does not or alone, they will gradually lose their abilities. The so-called "convenient, natural" utilization environment, one is that the knowledge and skills of the knowledge and skills may continue in social practice; the other means that there is no need to carry out special counseling and self-study. Any discipline is affected by this rule. Such as arithmetic, finisher, minus, multiplier, with an end education, students must have an opportunity to continue to apply this knowledge in their lives. However, if you only learn that adding addition, it is decided, and the computing ability will definitely decline. Primary school language level, due to frequent reading, rarely returns to illiteracy. Just recognize the seven, eight hundred words and decide, usually become illiterate. Literacy movement so failed, because the requirements were 1500 Chinese characters at the time. This level is difficult to read formal publications, naturally decline (while the reading is suitable for reading - can not constantly, a lot of practices). In the English education in my country, more than 1,000 words in junior high school, 3,000 words in high school. Obviously, the level after graduating from high school students is very large from the application of "convenient, natural". Non-English majors level 4 of 4,600 words, unable to read a book newspapers and magazines that have been able to read ordinary horizontal. In fact, you can read the non-learning reference book book to be 8,000 words, even if there is some difficulty in level 6 levels. Moreover, most conveniently, a large number of hearing materials - English broadcast, TV, even if the vast majority of students 6 students can not be used. This situation is close to the situation of literacy education in the early liberation. Therefore, most student's English ability will inevitably fall. Domestic "English Environment" is like a "desktop", climbed to this desktop, is difficult to "fall". And below this desktop, usually fall until they fall to the ground. This is the so-called "desktop rule" of foreign language learning, if there is a so-called "desktop rule", then the road is obviously only two: "The standard of ending education" and "minimize desktop height". There are two meanings of raising standards. First, the standards of the syllabus are raised to the real desktop level. It is necessary to read ordinary English materials to understand English broadcasts, TV (listening to radio and television). Second, as long as educating a group of people, it is necessary for educators to reach the lowest desktop level. Do not make so-called "warm water" education. The so-called reduction desktop refers to the increase in the integration of the English environmental components and reducing the use of English to apply English. There are also two aspects here. First, the relevant departments intentionally expand the conditions of the public to contact English. For example, increase the number of English newspapers and books, add TV and radio and programs that play English. One reason for the failure of the layout of liberation is that farmers have to recognize some words, they can read things are extremely rare. The second is to reduce the threshold of the public to accept English. For example, the national education department adds some newspapers, websites, television, broadcasts, specialized, playing the same content as other news on the same day, but the level is the vocabulary four, 5,000 left and right people can read smoothly. With this "ladder", not only learners are easy to use them as soon as possible, but also make students with low levels of graduation "buffer".
