台灣外語教學目的的新展望：溝通式語言教學

A New Perspective on the Goals of TEFL in Taiwan: Communicative Language Teaching

在台灣，英文教育過度重視英文文法和考試。溝通能力模糊了本國語言和外語需求的不同，且知識技能訓練只是外語訓練的一部分，語言最重要的是人類的溝通，且溝通是語言最重要的功能。從台灣傳統教學法的失敗和不足中得知，英文老師可在語言教學中涵蓋文化教學，了解上課中教師和學生的發言比例以激勵學生使用正確且合宜的英語。

In Taiwan, English education was too focused on English grammar and tests. “Communicative Competence” blurs the difference between native language acquisition and foreign language acquisition, while “knowledge skills training” constitutes only part of the task of TEFL. Language is the most important means of human communication, and communication is the most important function of language. From the failure and inefficiency of the traditional teaching method in Taiwan, English teachers can teach culture along with language, understand the ratio of TTT and STT in the class to motivate students to use correct and appropriate English.
