摘要

隨著地球村的擴展，英文在高等教育與研究的角色日趨重要；在科技、醫學等領域，英文更富主導之工具性地位。因之，台灣大學校園向來倚重原文書作為授課材料；然而大一新生，往往因為閱讀策略或語言技巧不足，在解讀專業教材時遭遇困難。針對此現象，本研究建議採行學術英語教學法，文中探討該教學法之歷史背景、應用模式、教師角色轉換以及教材特色。

During recent years, with the expansion of the global village, English has increasingly become a medium for advanced studies and research. The dominant role of English is particularly marked in scientific, technological and medical fields. In Taiwan, we rely to a great extent on textbooks written in English at the university level. However, students newly admitted to colleges, more often than not, are not well equipped with English reading strategies and language skills to cope with their academic studies for mainstreaming. To remedy the given problem, the present study is intended to delve into the approach ”English for Academic Purposes” by providing a helpful overview of its historical perspective and application principles.
