"English Learning and Teaching in Taiwan: Theory and Practice of
Communicative Language Teaching" examined the extent to which the
communicative approach is implemented in the English classroom in
senior high school in Taiwan. It also investigated senior high
school students' attitudes towards English learning at school. This
book employed a combination of a dominant quantitative approach and
a less-dominant qualitative data aggregation procedure. Data were
collected through focus group interviews, classroom observations,
and questionnaire. The findings reveal that the traditional
approach, which focuses on the teaching of vocabulary, grammar and
the explanation of the textbook contents, still prevails in the
English classroom. Teachers' classroom practices reflect students'
current learning purpose of achieving good exam results. Despite
their short-term need of passing exams, the majority of students
hold positive attitudes towards more communicative-based language
teaching or activities in class. Accordingly, English teaching in
school needs to help achieve students' long-term goal, which is to
develop the ability to use English in the real situation outside of
the classroom.
