A case study of the foreign cultures represented in two English language textbooks used by Hong Kong secondary schools was conducted. Its aim was to investigate whether the representation of foreign cultures in these textbooks reflected the status of English as an international language. In order to do this, references to foreign cultures were categorized into four aspects: products, practices, perspectives, and persons. It was found overall that the representation favoured the cultures of English-speaking countries, while the cultures of Africa were under-represented. The selection of English language textbooks and the implications for redressing the imbalance in cultural content are discussed.

本研究は,生徒の主体性を育てる指導のあり方を,英語科授業実践を通して追究し,多くの学校現場で活かすことのできる手がかりを得ようとするものである。 学習者である生徒の主体性を育てることは大切なことであり,教育的意義は大きい。英語という外国語の学習では,とりわけ学習者が自ら進んで継続して学習する習慣を身につけることが大切であることは言うまでもない。学びの意欲が高まり,もっと知りたい学びたいと生徒が思い,学習していけるようにするには,どのような授業をしていくべきなのかを検討した。 授業実践事例としては,1年生の授業を中心に紹介していく。絵本を活用した取り組み,スキットを活用した取り組み,海外の方と交流する国際交流会の取り組みなどについて述べる。さらに,こうした授業の実践を支える取り組みについて述べる。
