摘要

在全球化的發展趨勢下，英語文能力攸關國際競爭力，行政院提出「挑戰2008：國家發展重點計畫」後，教育部亦訂定相關人才培育計畫，如E世代人才及文化創意產業人才，其中多項措施皆與高等教育國際化及提升大學國際競爭力有關；而在台灣經濟在高度工業化後，大學校院藝術與設計人才培育也屬創意產業的重點，各大專校院在教育部相關措施激勵之下，各項提升國際競爭力及英語文能力計畫在校園呈現多元化的風貌；藝術與設計相關學系以創意見長，其學生在高等教育國際化及發展文化創意產業的時空背景下，如何提升英語文能力，以吸取國際經驗，尤值得關注。本研究目的在瞭解高教與技職體系藝術與設計相關學系英語文課程，並就現有課程分類分析，以探討藝術與設計專業英語文的趨勢。課程分析以開課學期數及學門數、開課類別、開課類別組合、開課學年、大學校院開課科目、技專校院開課科目為主。結果顯示技專校院普遍開設較多學期數及學門數；部分大學校院與技專校院開課學期數還有成長空間；兩者皆注重一般英語文課程，亦符合一般語言分項能力的學習順序；兩體系開設專業英語文課程比例均不足10%，另從相關措施及研究得知，藝術與設計相關學系專業英語文課程應漸有成長的趨勢。

Under the trend towards globalization, English language proficiency has become an index of international competitiveness. In accordance with the Executive Yuan's ”Challenge 2008: National Development Plan,” the Ministry of Education has drew up a number of projects, such as the cultivation of talent for the e-generation and in the cultural creativity industry, to internationalize Taiwan's higher education and enhance its competitiveness. The common ground of these projects is to emphasize the ability to master foreign languages, especially English. Each university or college has accordingly made efforts to carry out projects related to English proficiency. It is of great concern to the researchers if the college students in art and design departments, who are creative-minded, have good English skills to acquire their broad global experience. This study examines the English courses in art and design departments in Taiwan's higher education institutions. To realize the trend of art and design English, the current English courses are analyzed on such elements as number of semesters and courses, course categories, category combination, school years, and course titles. The results show that technological universities or colleges offer more semesters and courses. There is still room for some comprehensive and technological universities or colleges to add more semesters for English learning. Both of them emphasize general English courses which are also offered according to the sequence of language learning. However, both of them offer only less than 10% of English for specific purposes, noting that there is a growing trend for art and design departments to offer this kind of courses.
