自1989年以来，日本文部科学省（MEXT）一直试图通过鼓励教师使用交际活动来提高中学生的英语交际技能。科学文部省还承诺通过执行一项五年行动计划来实现这一目标。本研究通过对21名中学教师的调查，探讨了日本教师在课堂上的交际教学观念和实践。结果表明，为了在课堂上使用交际法，教师认为改变课堂条件是一个先决条件。研究结果还表明，地方一级开始采用文化法。为了找出方法帮助这个小地方的变化导致真实的英语教育改革在日本，一个全面的调查的信念，大量的语言教师是必要的。
Since 1989, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) has attempted to promote higher achievement in English communicative skills among secondary school students by urging teachers to use communicative activities. MEXT has also undertaken to achieve this goal by executing a 5-year Action Plan. This exploratory study investigates Japanese teachers’ beliefs and practices regarding communicative language teaching (CLT) in their classrooms through a survey of 21 secondary school teachers. The results show that in order to employ CLT in their classrooms, teachers feel that a change in classroom conditions is a prerequisite. The results also show that CLT is beginning to be employed at the local level. In order to delineate ways to help this small local change lead to real English education reform in Japan, a comprehensive investigation of the beliefs of a larger number of language teachers is necessary.
