Tracking
ing is an educational practice in which a student’s educational focus is determined by
dng the student’s inherent strengths and weaknesses Once this has been determined,
udent receives an education that focuses on developing these talents While some
educators endorse tracking as the best method to ensure each student’s various talents are
utilized, others oppose tracking, claiming it limits a student’s choices for the future
Format of the Lecture
! lecture will be on a topic related to the general concept of the reading It will provide one or two
cific applications of the general concept, with points that directly relate to the relevant details of the ding passage Listen to the following lecture and look at the outline below:
I M a in Id e a : Schools can influence students' future
A p p lic a t io n 1: Vocational HS
Students receive specialized job training at expense of traditional academic instruction
• D e t a il 1: Selection based on income and likelihood of attending college
• D e t a il 2: Students who attend vocational HS get job training but have little chance of
attending college
A p p lic a t io n 2: Advanced placement programs
Advanced placement programs are for students with best grades
• D e t a il 1: Students in these programs are greatly favored by top colleges
• D e t a il 2 : Not many students accepted into these programs, so other students' chances of
getting into a good college are lessened
lerstanding the Connections Between the Reading and the Lecture
der to properly respond to task 4 you must understand the connections between the reading and the ire In the case of the example above, you must understand that vocational high schools and
meed placement programs are forms of tracking You must also see the connections between the ils of the reading and the details of the lecture (i.e., the way that students are selected for these
rams and how those programs affect a student's future options)

Below is a sample reading passage in which key points have been underlined
Homeostasis
Homeostasis is a natural biological process that exists in nearly all organisms or organic
processes The term refers to any self-regulating process by which biological systems achieve and
maintain stability If this stability is threatened or disturbed, the system responds to such
changes by means of various built-in regulatory devices that work to adjust to those changes and re-establish equilibrium Homeostasis is essential to life because it allows an organism to remain within the parameters in which life can be maintained, even in the face of fluctuating conditions

The professor explains how program s such as vocational high schools an d advanced
placem ent program s can limit a student's options fo r the future This relates to the concept o f tracking in that these program s are basically different form s o f tracking According to the
professor, students who are not likely to attend college are enrolled in vocational programs
which stress teaching job skills rather than academics Thừ increases their ability to get a job
after high school, but virtually guarantees that they will not be able to attend college; thus it
limits their choices for the future Likewise, advanced placement courses are reserved for the
very best students Since these courses are so important to admission to top colleges, advanced placement programs limit the ability of many students to attend good colleges In conclusion, the programs described by the professor are both form s o f tracking 4s such they
determine which students should receive which type o f education and therefore exert a
controlling influence on their futures.

The lecture explains the different things community members can do to reduce crime in their neighborhood According to the professor, the first thing a community can do to reduce crime
is to start a neighborhood watch program By patrolling their streets and reporting any
suspicious activity to the police, community members can discourage criminals from
committing crimes in the neighborhood The professor also explains how opening an activity center for teenagers can help reduce crime The professor says that many crimes are
committed by teenagers who have nothing to do with their free time Activity centers give
these teenagers something to do and help keep them out o f trouble In conclusion,
neighborhood watch programs help reduce crime by keeping criminals out o f a
neighborhood and helping local teenagers stay out o f trouble.
