1.如果你是一位華語老師,你會特地安排像課本上的任務情境來讓學生對於所學的東西更加具體化嗎?  如果會,可否說說原因;如果不會,那又是為什麼呢?
Many techniques can be utilized and blended in CFL/CSL teaching while Contextualization is an effective way for instantiation. Contextual Teaching and Learning is an approach and a teaching technique which has being implemented in North America for more than a decade. The characteristics are Project-oriented, Task-oriented, problem-solving oriented, atelic, durative, authentic materials, yet must base on the maturity of knowledge acquirement (Berns & Ericson, 2001). Bridging materials to the real social world, collaborating and unifying multi-knowledge with language arts have led the role of language to be a tool of output, a tool of communication, and the focal core of what CLT (communicative language teaching) is stressed. In sum, the merits of CTL should be considered as a means to carry out the results after foundation of knowledge is absorbed. A process of application of what learners have acquired due to the interaction among linguistic competence and contextual competence. However, assessment can be somewhat problematic for instructors.
A study conducted by Rintaro (2010) to examine the effectiveness of TBLT. Though this study focused on TBLT, which many of its features are overlapping with CLT. He urges the effectiveness and suitability need to reconsider in Japanese EFL classroom. Couples of shortcomings are needed to be considered, such as leaner’s factors, contextual factors, means of monitoring and statistical census. Firstly, learner’s personal factors like the frequency of using the target language, self-monitoring while class activities being conducted, and personalities as well. Particularly, the strength of learner’s motivation plays a crucial role in SLA. Second, contextual factor such as peer influence might be vital to the success of the completion to a task. Work with a motivated partner is quite different while your partner appeals no interests in carrying out a task together. Lastly, how a language teacher monitors the process of a task and statistical figures which show the starting point and the endpoint in order to support the positive or negative results of TBLT is essential to stand the author’s orientation. Furthermore, Rintaro (2010, p6) also points out that the mismatch between the education systems and TBLT. Indeed, the ultimate goals of language teaching and learning of the education bureau in a country definitely fatal to learning outcomes.
        Taken together, I believe there is no perfect teaching methods for teachers. Integrated approach probably a direction for solution. A teacher can be seen as a tylor, student as the material. A tylor must customize to what you have in hands in order to make an appropriate suit for the right occasion.

2.過猶不及的過,此篇期刊當中將之歸在名詞,但在教育部成語典釋義「過猶不及」:「做事過分就好比做得不夠一樣,皆不妥當;指事情要做得恰到好處。語出《論語.先進》。」這裡如此解釋的話,我認為「過」是否非名詞,而是形容詞?
At first I was convinced by Hsiao (2010) that the category of “過” in ”過猶不及” can be attributed to nominal category. However, the dictionary of 五南 ( p.1766) shows that “過” in ”過猶不及” should be an adjective, meaning excessively, implying that things or manners being carried out overtly is considered less valuable or ineffective than inadequacy. However, fossilization is one of many characteristics which appear in slangs among languages. More evidence is needed to clear up the confusion between Hsiao’s study and the definition in the dictionary of五南. The current definition in the dictionary of 五南 supports your inference.

過: adj.     猶: v. 如同
