Taiwanese people’s motivation to learn English is a desire to communicate: a major obstacle to the mastery of spoken English has been the lack of opportunities to speak it. The traditional English teaching method cannot produce fluent English speakers. English teaching methodologies, such as English-only and Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), have been widely adopted as practical and the best way to acquire English speaking proficiency in children English language schools, to the point where they are taken for granted by many Taiwanese people. The central argument of this study is that the evaluation of the so-called the-best-English-teaching-method in children English language schools and as common practice in Taiwanese society is ideological. To explore the ideological concept of the-best-English-teaching-method used in children English language schools, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was employed to analyze data drawn from children English language schools’ promotional materials or advertisements. The results indicate the promotion of the-best-English-teaching-method by children English language schools has resulted in social injustice, such as native speaker ideology, native and non-native division, white and non-white division, and English proficiency gap in the rich and the poor and urban and rural areas. It is hoped that the results of this study can enable Taiwanese people to escape the ideologies which have been taken for granted for so long.

The analysis of the frontier issues of the English language teaching method in China is of great guidance for English language teaching. Based on the ontology model of English teaching domain, the knowledge map of English teaching in colleges and universities is constructed by fusing heterogeneous English subject data from multiple sources. Firstly, we obtain domain knowledge from relevant websites and existing documents through web crawlers and other techniques and clean the data based on BERT model; then, we use Word2Vec to judge the similarity between the research directions of characters and solve the entity alignment problem; based on the scientific knowledge map theory, we count the frequency of keywords in each year and analyze them to describe the association and union between keywords. It can explain the current situation and trend, rise and fall, disciplinary growth points, and breakthroughs of ELT. Through keyword analysis, the hot issues mainly revolve around ELT, English teaching, college English, grammar-translation method, curriculum reform, and so forth, to realize the quick query and resource statistics of ELT basic data, in order to promote the subsequent English discipline assessment work to be completed more efficiently.

Communicative Approach

This study tries to find out how effective Communicative Approach is as a widely practiced English teaching method in Turkish Secondary Schools. The study covers the 10th, 11th and 12th grade students of Van Atatürk Anatolian High School. At the initial stage of the study, a sample level test was given in order to evaluate the available English level of the students. At the end of the study, it was found out that there was a discrepancy between the principal target benefits of Secondary Schools English Teaching Program, which is principally based on CLT and the results obtained. The majority of the language learners could only utter daily or structural expressions mostly studied beforehand or often practiced but could not reproduce those never experienced or those depending on creativity. Furthermore, the possible reasons for these negative results were discussed and questioned whether or how much they were associated with CLT. Finally, some suggestions were put forth in the light of other studies and views on this field. This study suggests that CLT is not efficient enough in achieving the language targets set for the second language (L2) learners in Van Atatürk Anatolian High School.
