交际教学法的理想与现实

The Ideal and Realism of Communicative Language Teaching

当今“交际教学法”理念已深入外语教学界人士的人心。经过二十多年的理论探讨和实践研究,其结果便是既有反对的声音,也有肯定的言辞。在中国与其说把交际教学法看成一种教学方法,不如把它作为一种教学理念。文章主要从交际法的理论基础、前提条件和中国英语教学的现实三个方面进行了论述。

Nowadays the idea of Communicative Language Teaching （CLT） goes deep into the hearts of the people around the circle of the foreign language teaching. After more than 20 years＇ theoretical study and practical research, the result is that some people have positive attitude while some other negative attitude. The author of this paper suggests that in China, we would consider CLT as a kind of teaching idea rather than a type of teaching methodology. In the paper the author mainly discusses the following three aspects, namely, the foundation of CLT theory, precondition, and China＇s English teaching realism.
