本研究旨在藉由問卷調查，探討未來國中英語教科書編寫指引，並回答以下三個具體研究問題： (1)調查國中英語教師對於現行英語教科書之意見，是否符合現行國中英語教科書的編寫原則，並且進一步瞭解(2)在主題、份量、難易度方面，有何意見，以及(3)提供一套未來國中英語教科書適用之編寫指引。研究發現如下：(1)現行國中英語教科書包含溝通式教學法的一些原則，但並非所有的原則；(2)現行國中英語教科書符合部分英語教科書編寫通則，但需要再加強；(3)主題方面，例如日常生活、節慶、電腦受教師們喜愛；(4)現行國中英語教科書之份量與難易度一般而言適中，但份量和難易度並未均衡分佈於各冊；以及(5)未來國中英語教科書教師最愛之六項主題與六項活動。

This study aims to find some relevant writing guidelines for future junior high school (hereafter JHS) English textbooks by conducting a questionnaire survey. Specifically, the study aims to do the following: (1) to find if the current set of JHS English textbooks has observed closely the guidelines, and (2) to understand teachers’ opinions about the current textbooks on themes, loading, and difficulty, and (3) to provide a set of alternative guidelines for future JHS English textbook writing. And the major findings include the following: (1) the current JHS English textbooks follow some principles of CLT, but do not include all of them; (2) the current JHS English textbooks meet some of the general principles for English textbook writing, but they need to be improved; (3) themes such as daily life, festival, and computer are appreciated by the JHS English teachers; (4) the degree of loading and difficulty of the current JHS English textbooks are moderate in general; however, the loading and difficulty in each volume are not evenly distributed; and (5) the six favorite themes and activities chosen by most teachers have to be covered in future JHS English textbooks.
