日本文部科学省 (MeXT) 新的学习课程指南于 2011 年开始分阶段实施。本文回顾了 MeXT 的英语教育政策的变化，并探讨了该部在过去二十年中如何尝试实施交际方法。然而，交际语言教学（ClT）在日本的根基并不牢固，因此教师对它的理解不充分，对使用CLT也没有信心。这是 MeXT 缺乏承诺的结果，导致 ClT 本身含糊不清。这种缺乏承诺阻碍了提高日本学生英语水平的最终目标的实现。文部科学省必须通过澄清其倡导的原则并提供持续的培训机会来为教师提供更大的支持。
The new Course of Study Guidelines of the Ministry of education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MeXT) started to be implemented in stages in 2011. This paper reviews how MeXT’s policies for english education have changed and examines how the Ministry has attempted to implement communicative approaches over the last two decades. However, Communicative language Teaching (ClT) is not well rooted in Japan, so teachers do not fully understand it and are not confident about using CLT. This is the result of the lack of commitment by MeXT, which has led to ambiguity about ClT itself. This lack of commitment hampers the achievement of its ultimate goal of improving Japanese students’ English proficiency. MEXT must provide greater support for teachers by clarifying its advocated principles and providing ongoing training opportunities.
