Today while the public schools (generally) continue to teach English by
translation, grammar rules and endless testing, many of the private
English
schools (not the test-preparation "cram schools") use the English only
method.
It is more and more widely accepted in the marketplace.
When I first arrived (9/1987) only the rare teacher and the even rarer
school
that used this method. Frankly, I found myself doing it (at first) because
I
arrived with no Chinese language skill at all. In time, I came to see it
as
the correct way to teach.
Before explaining the reasons why I believe "English Only" is the correct
way
to teach English in Taiwan, I will discuss the problems created by
teaching
by translation.
