以往，「應用語文教育」並非中文系教學的重點，但隨著時代演進，中文系必須 契合國家發展的需求，並兼顧學生就業的現實壓力，因此，加強「應用語文教育」似乎已成 了無法驅擋的潮流。本文先釐清一般人對「應用語文教育」的幾個錯誤觀念，希望能建構學 界平正討論這項課題的基礎。其次，考察臺灣地區各大學中國文學系對「應用語文教育」的 態度與實際課程設計情形，凸顯「應用語文教育」在現今中文系教學的地位。最後，綜結各 校「應用語文教育」所呈露出的問題提舉幾項建言，希望對中文系教學略盡棉薄之力。

　　　　　For the Chinese literature departments in Taiwan's universities, " applied linguistic and literature education" has never been a teaching highlight. To keep up with the times, however, education in Chinese literature has to evolve in line with national development while taking into account students' actual needs in work after graduation. Toward this end, strengthening applied linguistic and literature education seems to be an irresistable trend. Bearing this in mind, the author first clarifies some misperceptions many people hold toward "applied linguistic and literature education", in the hope of laying a groundwork for academia to discussing this subject with a fair view. Secondly, the author reviews the current applied linguistic and literature education in the Chinese literature departments and their current curriculum in this regard. This is to show the disadvantageous role applied linguistic and literature education now plays in Chinese departments of Taiwan's universities. Last but not least, several suggestions are brought up in consideration of the existing problems in our applied linguistic and literature education, in order to contribute toward a positive development of Chinese literature in this country.
