由十二年國教課綱草案展望未來　中小學之英語文教科書

十二年國民基本教育課程綱要預定於2016年12月正式公告，並於2018年8月開始實施新課程。綱要草案公聽到課程實施有兩年以上的時間供教科書的編纂、審查與選用。本文根據英語文綱要揭櫫的重要理念變革，衡諸國內中小學英語教育主流思維與傳統的一些問題，指出英語文教科書「循序漸進與統整式的編纂架構」、「整合性的外語課程信念」、「導入學習策略培養學生自主學習」、「漸進培養思考能力」、「提倡閱讀策略及廣泛閱讀」、「清楚定位語音學習工具：字母拼讀與音標」、「區隔應用結構與認識結構；文法句構情境化」及「提供彈性教材因應差異化需求」八項重要議題，逐一說明作者的觀察並提出具體的建議，展望教科書新樣貌，期能落實十二年國教綱要的精神。

The curriculum guidelines of the Twelve-year Basic Education, a new educational reform in Taiwan, will be released in December, 2016. The new curriculum will start at elementary and high schools in August, 2018. Textbook publishers have about two years for textbook writing and review. Based on the major innovations in the curriculum, and informed by the mainstream practices in English teaching at all levels of schools in Taiwan, this study proposes eight important issues to be considered in textbook writing: (1) a progressive and integrative framework for textbook writing; (2) integration of different curriculum ideologies; (3) introduction of learning strategies and autonomous learning; (4) development of thinking skills; (5) promotion of reading strategies and extensive reading; (6) clear roles assigned to phonics and phonetic symbols; (7) contextualization of grammar instruction, as well as distinction between ＂structure for production＂ and ＂structure for recognition＂; and (8) flexible materials for differentiated instruction. Each issue is discussed in the context of English teaching and learning in Taiwan. Some suggestions for textbook writing are also made. It is hoped that these suggestions would help depict an ideal and feasible outlook of English textbooks for the Twelve-year Basic Education.
