New TOEIC 2.1 Curriculum/Syllabus Design 2.1.1 Curriculum/Syllabus Design 「商用英文寫作」最佳開設時間點 ● 嚴格來講，在「英語為外語」（EFL）的環境， 商用英文應該歸屬於「專業英語」（ESP, English for Specific Purposes）的領域。 ● 但就 EFL writing 的發展而言，大多數學者仍認為（Curry, 1996; Keil,1998; Leki,1992; Mabrito,1997）學生必須先具備基礎的寫作能力之後（如：大三、大四的學生），再選讀商用英文寫作較為適當。 ● 就高中高職而言，高三最適合。 2.1.2 Curriculum/Syllabus Design 商英寫作變成翻譯課 ---開設在低年級（包括大一、大二）的商英寫作，常易流於形式化。 ---學生本身英語閱讀及寫作能力不足，經常使整個課程演變成翻譯課，主因是大部份的授課時間，老師都將教學重點放在解釋商用英文的專業術語及文件內容上 ---學生也因其自主性的寫作能力有限，往往只求努力背取常用商英書信片語及例句。 ---
