臺灣省中等學校英語教學的問題和展望（四）

THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH ON THE SECONDARY LEVEL IN TAIWAN (ROC) PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS (4)

在筆者兩星期的實習當中，上述的問題層出不窮。一開始，教師和學生對這新的嘗試感到好奇，同時對成功與否，莫不抱有極大的懷疑。筆者別無他法，只有完全信賴學生對新實驗和新活動的自然傾向。他們會跟得上嗎？

Tn his two weeks' experiment the writer was faced constantly wah most of the problems discussed above. At the outset the teachers as well as their students were curious about this unusual undertaking and voiced strong doubts about a successful outcome. The writer could do nothing but trust ln the students' natural inclination towards new experiments and activities. Would they come along all the way? From the very first minute on the students were addressed in English, only very difficult vocabulary or structural items were briefly explained in Chinese. The English used had to be, of course, very simple and was as far as possible accompanied by gestures and dramatization to facilitate understanding.
