摘要

本文考察了英语教材的历史,以及它们在当前日本和中国大陆的英语环境中所面临的挑战。在这些国家,英语教材和所有其他科目的教材只有在政府评估和批准后才能在课堂上使用。教材评估的主要标准由国家课程提供,也是编写教材的指导方针;它说明了每门学科的目的和目标,包括对每个年级成绩水平的描述,以及对教学、评估和编写教科书的建议。实际上,教科书是在实际课堂上实施的国家课程的直接具体化,特别是在教科书主导的英语课堂上。本文首先讨论了教科书研究的意义,然后对日本和中国大陆的英语教科书进行了历史回顾。这篇综述的重点是描述当前在EFL教科书中低估第一语言使用的挑战。最后一节绘制了两国的发展轨迹图,并探讨了一种新的方法来克服在EFL课堂上创建既包含学生第一语言又包含目标语言的引人入胜的活动的挑战。

Exploring the History and Challenge of Government-authorized English Textbooks in Japan and Mainland China
This paper examines the history of English textbooks and the challenges they are facing in the current EFL contexts of Japan and mainland China. In these countries, English textbooks, and textbooks for all other subjects, can only be used in classrooms following governmental evaluation and approval. The main set of criteria for textbook evaluation is provided by the national curriculum, which also serves as a guideline for compiling textbooks; it illustrates the purpose and objectives of each subject, contains descriptions of achievement levels for each grade, as well as suggestions for teaching, assessing and compiling textbooks. In effect, textbooks are the direct materialization of the national curriculum implemented in real classrooms, particularly in textbook dominated English classes. This paper starts by discussing the significance of textbook research before presenting a historical review of English textbooks in Japan and mainland China. The focus of the review is to delineate the current challenge of underestimating the use of the first language in EFL textbooks. The final section draws trajectory maps of the two countries and explores a new approach to overcoming the challenge of creating engaging activities that incorporate both student’s first language and target language in EFL classrooms.
