第七章可以更简洁、更明确地说明MT在外语角色扮演和角色塑造活动中的作用;第八章结尾处关于交际法和任务型教学需要改革的主张可能需要更多的阐述;在第13章中,可以有一个更系统和连贯的方式来安排“实际建议”(230 235)。前两项建议似乎重叠,而第三和第四项建议似乎是不相关的主题。总之,这是一部关于外语双语改革的发人深省的著作。这对英语教学中的英语教学具有重要意义(例如,中国)和多语言社会(例如,香港)。这种范式的转变,如果实施得好,可以导致积极的变化,提高外语教学方法和整个英语教学强国或行业的有效性。正如作者正确地说:“这本书的目的是丰富现有的方法论,而不是废除它们”(88)。
improvements could be made, for example, Chapter 7 could have been more concise and more explicit about the role of the MT use in the FL role-taking and role-making activities; the claim at the end of Chapter 8 that the communicative approach and task-based instruction need overhauling may need a little more elaboration; and in Chapter 13, there could be a more systematic and coherent way to arrange the ‘practical suggestions’ (230 235). The first two suggestions seem to overlap while the third and fourth suggestions seem to be unrelated topics. In summary, this is a thought-provoking book on the bilingual reform in FLT. It is of great significance to ELT in EFL context (e.g., China) and multilingual societies (e.g., Hong Kong). The paradigm shift, if well implemented, can lead to positive changes and increased effectiveness in FLT methodologies and the entire ELT powerhouse or industry. As the authors rightly put it: ‘this book is intended to enrich existing methodologies, and not to impoverish them’ (88).
