根據一項調查顯示，台灣有八成四的人，自認為英語很破(Poor)，只有一成的人自認還算夠(Good)！對於外語的外行，造成了美語補習班及英語教學的電視廣
告，在台灣的大行其道。

傳統英語教學廣告，反映台灣的集體焦慮

傳統教學英語的廣告，演出大致可歸納為兩招！一招，暗喻英文說不好，很糟糕！另一招，則洗腦主打想學正統英文，一定要老外來教！

前者最具代表性的廣告，就是一個美國觀光客問路，被問者說的結結巴巴，這時有個英文很溜的小男孩跳出來回答，解救了很糗的大家！以此對比，有一口流利的英語，才能像「英」雄般讓週遭的人崇拜有加，反之則是丟臉到家，藉此刺激英文不輪轉的人，到補習班報名參加！

後者則是老外帶著學員有說有笑，運用「虛擬留學」的心理安慰，強調只要有外籍老師，即使不用飄「洋」過海，美式英語也能朗朗上口，唯妙唯肖！

這些現象多少也反映出，台灣社會長期以來，對於英語不好，就矮人一截的集體焦慮及崇洋的自卑。

雖然這促成了英文美語補習班的滿街林立，但其中也有更多繳了錢、上了課的上班族，因為時間無法配合或跟不上學習進度，最後索性就半途而廢！而這就給了TutorABC將這些自「報」自棄的人，收編成為線上學習顧客的好機會！

廣告慢動作，隱喻速度跟不上也會方便配合你

  為了區隔到補習班學英文的壓力，突顯在家用網路家教互動學英文的輕鬆，TutorABC一反以往美語廣告對於「菜英文」的嘲弄態度。對於過去學英文曾經報名，卻又放棄出門上課的各種理由，甚至故意以颳風下雨，老板強留的誇張片段，極盡開脫之能事，來暗示TutorABC學習氣氛的自在寬鬆！

同時也為了去除往常補英文，速度跟不上的壓迫感，連鏡頭節奏都刻意週到地運用慢動作，暗喻學習速度都可慢慢配合你！讓學員從廣告中就能體會「想怎麼學，看你方便！」的體貼！定位印象不只鮮明，對於怕到補習班上課或怯於在眾人面前開口的害羞一族，也有十足的吸引力！

至於這些曾繳錢學英文卻又不成鋼的「銹」才，不出門，用更昂貴的費用，在家或在公司，跟「英」容宛在的老外老師在線上銀幕前，互動學英文，是否真的能成為打通英語任、督二脈的竅門？並不重要！畢竟廣告任務，旨在吸引老子有錢，不想出門的人入門，並沒保證破英文就會因此變得很神！

These days, we tend to communicate via the keyboard as much as we do verbally. Often, we’re in a hurry, quickly dashing off e-mails with typos, grammatical shortcuts (I’m being kind here), and that breezy, e.e. cummings, no-caps look. It’s expected. It’s no big deal. But other times, we try to invest a little care, avoiding mistakes so that there’s no confusion about what we’re saying and so that we look professional and reasonably bright.

In general, we can slip up in a verbal conversation and get away with it. A colleague may be thinking, Did she just say “irregardless”?, but the words flow on, and our worst transgressions are carried away and with luck, forgotten.

That’s not the case with written communications. When we commit a grammatical crime in e-mails, discussion posts, reports, memos, and other professional documents, there’s no going back. We’ve just officially gone on record as being careless or clueless. And here’s the worst thing. It’s not necessary to be an editor or a language whiz or a spelling bee triathlete to spot such mistakes. They have a way of doing a little wiggle dance on the screen and then reaching out to
grab the reader by the throat.

So here we are in the era of Word’s red-underline “wrong spelling, dumb ass” feature and Outlook’s Always Check Spelling Before Sending option, and still the mistakes proliferate. Catching typos is easy (although not everyone does it). It’s the other stuff — correctly spelled but incorrectly wielded — that sneaks through and makes us look stupid. Here’s a quick review of some of the big ones.

1. Loose for lose
No: I always loose the product key.
Yes: I always lose the product key.

2. It’s for its (or god forbid, its’)
No: Download the HTA, along with it’s readme file.
Yes: Download the HTA, along with its readme file.
No: The laptop is overheating and its making that funny noise again.
Yes: The laptop is overheating and it’s making that funny noise again.

3.They’re fortheir for there
No: The managers are in they’re weekly planning meeting.
Yes: The managers are in their weekly planning meeting.
No: The techs have to check there cell phones at the door, and their not happy about it.
Yes: The techs have to check their cell phones at the door, and they’re not happy about it.

4.i.e. for e.g.
No: Use an anti-spyware program (i.e., AdAware).
Yes: Use an anti-spyware program (e.g., AdAware).
Note: The term i.e. means “that is”; e.g. means “for example.” And a comma follows both of them.

5.Effect for affect
No: The outage shouldn’t effect any users during work hours.
Yes: The outage shouldn’t affect any users during work hours.
Yes: The outage shouldn’t have any effect on users.
Yes: We will effect several changes during the downtime.
Note: Impact is not a verb. Purists, at least, beg you to use affect instead:
No: The outage shouldn’t impact any users during work hours.
Yes: The outage shouldn’t affect any users during work hours.
Yes: The outage should have no impact on users during work hours.

6. You’re foryour
No: Remember to defrag you’re machine on a regular basis.
Yes: Remember to defrag your machine on a regular basis.
No: Your right about the changes.
Yes: You’re right about the changes.

7. Different than for different from
No: This setup is different than the one at the main office.
Yes: This setup is different from the one at the main office.
Yes: This setup is better than the one at the main office.

8. Lay for lie
No: I got dizzy and had to lay down.
Yes: I got dizzy and had to lie down.
Yes: Just lay those books over there.

9. Then for than
No: The accounting department had more problems then we did.
Yes: The accounting department had more problems than we did.
Note: Here’s a sub-peeve. When a sentence construction begins with If, you don’t need a then. Then is implicit, so it’s
superfluous and wordy:
No: If you can’t get Windows to boot, then you’ll need to call Ted.
Yes: If you can’t get Windows to boot, you’ll need to call Ted.

10.Could of, would of for could have, would have
No: I could of installed that app by mistake.
Yes: I could have installed that app by mistake.
No: I would of sent you a meeting notice, but you were out of town.
Yes: I would have sent you a meeting notice, but you were out of town.

Bonus peeve

I’ll just throw one more thing out here: My current burning pet peeve. At some point, who knows when, it became common practice to say that something is “hit and miss.” Nuh-UH. It can’t be both, right? It either hits or it misses? “Hit OR miss.” Granted, it’s a small thing, a Boolean-obsessive sort of thing. But it’s nonetheless vexing because it’s so illogical. Okay, that’s mine. If you’ve got a peeve of your own, share it in the discussion (or post a comment and tell me to get over it).

今天要推薦的書是
哈佛新鮮人:我在法學院的故事
原文作者：Scott Turow

想要知道出國念書讀書時會遇到什麼樣的競爭,是什麼樣的心情的朋友~一定要看看這本書

黃金週在看這本書時,在Durham MBA 求學的回憶慢慢湧現眼前..Durham或許不是哈佛,但卻是很多人心裡的第一志願..
MBA 74個同學像個小聯合國,各國的菁英齊聚一堂,有些已經擁有碩士學位,有些已拿到博士學位..還有天才跳級生..領全額獎學金的資優生..
和這樣的同學一起求學,雖然與有榮焉,但心裡的壓力是不小的...深怕一個不小心說錯一句話,顯露了自己的無知..於是對知識的渴望與害怕不如人的恐懼油然而生..
尤其是在課堂上發言時...一隻隻眼睛盯著你..有人看好戲..有人為你捏把冷汗..也有人事不關己..
而因為MBA學生的好競爭特質..更多的是看好戲等著你出糗然後在背後嘲笑你的人...

書中前半段描寫著哈佛法學院的上課情形和心裡的天人交戰..和當年求學的情況相似..
當老師點到你發言時,沒人會想要窘在那裡不知如何回答.所以課前準備是必要的..而當你不會回答時,一隻隻手早已高舉在空中期盼著教授給予發言的機會.
當然會在課堂上發言的總是那些人...有的說話鏗鏘有力充滿見解..有的只是為發言而發言毫無建設..
更多的是說著讓人摸不著頭緒只有老師聽得懂的超濃口音英文
而這樣的情形在小組討論裡更是明顯...愛說話的總是高談闊論...為發言而發言..不說話的則是窩在角落頻頻點頭
如果你不幸的分到一組裡全是愛說話的,那會議無限期延長或者是上演全武行都是可想而知的

總而言之...海外留學的生活
絕對讓你眼界大開..最後見怪不怪了

[內容簡介]
　　全美暢銷書／《紐約時報》強力推薦

　　世界的中心在美國，美國的中心在哈佛，哈佛的中心在法學院。

　　堂堂史丹福大學英文系的講師，到了哈佛法學院卻淪為菜鳥。除了要面對外在繁重的壓力──困難重重的課程、做不完的功課、同學間激烈的競爭，他的內心還有一連串重大轉變。這一年的經驗既沈重又刺激，震撼程度教人頭暈目眩，心驚膽跳。

　　
[內容摘錄]

絕對的第一志願
走到外頭，呼吸一下新鮮空氣。此刻風和日麗，天氣良好。坐在龐德大樓旁的磚壁上緣，我對著自己說：總算來到這裡了，享有盛名的哈佛法學院，校友遍布美國法界，包括最高法院的好幾個大法官、參議員，還有一個總統。許許多多數不清的大人物，對我們的現代生活產生了重要影響。
「絕對的第一志願」，一個朋友這樣稱呼ＨＬＳ。春天時，他就一直鼓吹我來這兒。ＨＬＳ傲人的特點不勝枚舉：它是美國歷史最悠久的法學院，註冊的學生總數最多（總共一千八百個），超過六十五名的專任教授，無論量與質都獨占鼇頭。在法學教育本身，如果與耶魯等競爭名校相比，ＨＬＳ課程的安排的確比較不具彈性，老師與學生人數的比例也略遜一籌；但無論如何，最近的一份調查顯示，在大多數法學院院長眼中，哈佛教育還是排在第一位。
儘管哈佛光環如此耀眼，此刻的我並不真的滿足。對法學院新鮮人而言，自我懷疑是個相當普遍的徵候。我沒有信心，自己的能力可否與哈佛光榮的傳統相配；我甚至沒有把握，選擇法律這條路正不正確。就個人而言，進來法學院的道路迂迴曲折。二十六歲的我，年紀大了許多；比起其他多數的法學院新鮮人，我花上更長的時間才決定研讀法律。
史丹福英文研究所畢業後，我留下來擔任三年的講師。教授的課程是關於文學創作，平常課餘也儘可能地寫點東西。日子過得馬馬虎虎。但是，寫作的過程當中遇到許多法律問題，漸漸地發覺自己對這玩意兒愈來愈感興趣。它迷人之處，是我從前無法想像的。大學時代，反戰與公民權運動正鬧得不可開交，法律對我而言，不過是掌權者鞏固自己優越地位的工具罷了。每當朋友下定決心進入法學院，我都抱著嗤之以鼻的態度。五年後的今天，想法已經大大地轉變，法律並不僅是特權階級玩弄的把戲，它其實與我們一般人的日常生活息息相關。無論你是要結婚、租房子，還是買車，都離不開法律。無遠弗屆的影響力，著實令人咋舌。並且，當初遭我批判的朋友，現在都已經開始執業，他們對自己的工作相當滿意，也成為我羨慕的對象。

一九七四年春天，我參加了全美法學院入學測驗（Law School Admissions Test，簡稱ＬＳＡＴ），成績相當不錯，滿分八百分就拿了七百四十九分，差不多排在最前面的百分之一。儘管如此，我還是猶豫許久；因為實在放不下教書與寫作的生涯，再加上考後沒多久，我就接獲通知，被另一所大學聘為助理教授。逼不得已，得費神好好思量，未來一生的職業規畫到底該如何。最後的結論：如果對法律的濃厚興趣不能滿足，鐵定後悔一輩子。

於是接下來的秋天，我填妥申請資料，投遞到全美各地的法學院。當不只一所學校錄取我時，又面臨了另一個困難的選擇。許多先前進哈佛的朋友警告我，ＨＬＳ規模龐大，課業繁重，有時會讓人有透不過氣的感覺；但是，它響亮的名氣和豐富的資源，深深地吸引住我。況且，那些朋友進去時還是小毛頭，一定比不上我現在的成熟穩重；再加上，六○年代的環境大不相同，對法學院的期待與現在也許會有一大段距離。儘管如此，要做出決定還是很難。最後，與其說是慎思熟慮的結果，不如說是向哈佛學歷的金字招牌低頭；另外還有個原因，我老婆安娜有志於中小學教師，而哈佛旁邊的波士頓有相當豐沛的就業市場。

剛下決定不久，心裡還是徬徨，擔憂自己的選擇是錯的。畢竟要放棄教書生涯，也不是說捨就捨得的。一天，我把心中的猶豫告訴系上的好友，他其實也認真考慮過要進法學院。

「如果我真決定進法學院，」他說：「原因只有一個，就是去見我的敵人。這是很重要的。而且，如果我決定去會見敵人，一定往哈佛走，那裡鐵定有敵人存在。」

我勉強笑了一笑，心頭有些狐疑，「會見敵人」到底是什麼意思？怎麼英文系的人，老愛用些看起來很有學問，但實在搞不清楚真正意涵的詞彙？含糊歸含糊，它的魔力倒不小，接連好幾週，盤據在心中揮之不去。總括而言，我對要進入法學院的感受就是：對不確定感的擔憂害怕，以及對迎接挑戰、成功度過難關、發掘新事物的期許。有了「會見敵人」這四個字的指引，不知不覺激發出旺盛的戰鬥力，我愈來愈相信自己的選擇正確。

此時此刻，坐在磚壁上緣，重新思量一遍，心中更加篤定。沒錯，會見敵人是我想要的，只希望一切困難最後都能迎刃而解。

How to use the subject tables

Universities are ranked by the overall combined score from four indicators: assessments of

teaching quality and research, average A-level scores of entrants and destinations. The

destinations figure is the percentage of graduates who go on to graduate-type jobs or further
study. Scores are weighted to ensure fairness when data is missing from one of the columns

There has never been a better time for would-be deans to get the senior job at a UK business school. Many of the country's established university departments are hunting for a boss - the top dogs at Bath, Birmingham, Cranfield, Durham, Leeds and Strathclyde have all said they are to move on.

Charles Harvey will leave Strathclyde Business School in Glasgow in May, after just three years as dean, to take up the post of provice-chancellor at the University of Newcastle.

Jonathan Michie is also to quit as the head of Birmingham Business School, a job he took up in June 2004. He will leave in April, after just four years at Birmingham, to become president of Kellogg College at Oxford University and director of the department of continuing education at Oxford.

Not all deans are quite so precipitate in their departure. Many give notice of a year a more to enable the school to conduct a thorough search for a replacement. Such is the case at Leeds University Business School, where Andrew Lock is to leave at the end of 2008.

Michael Osbaldeston has already announced that he will step down as director of Cranfield School of Management in 2009 after six years in the job.

Noted academic Andrew Pettigrew said last year that he would stand down as head of the School of Management at Bath University at the end of his five-year term this September.

Not all schools have such timely warnings. At Durham Business School, Tony Antoniou stepped down as dean last September amid allegations of plagiarism. The business school subsequently suspended Prof Antoniou and he was stripped of his PhD by York University.
