Abstract	This paper provides a new teaching design that addresses difficulties in listening and speaking aspects experienced by Taiwanese adults when learning English and addresses the special needs of this learning group. The design was developed to solve these learning difficulties through integration of certain aspects of three existing teaching methods: audiolingualism, total physical response, and communicative language teaching. The new method stresses the development of listening and speaking, and writing competence. The role of the teacher is defined as a needs analyst, director, and counselor; students are listeners, performers, and negotiators. With highlighted features of the other two teaching methods, the Communicative Language Teaching method serves as the core of the new design. Various activities and small group work were used to focus learners' attention on the development of listening and speaking abilities. A detailed 2-week unit plan of 6 classes for intermediate adult English learners is provided to illustrate the method. (Contains 18 references.) (Author/NAV)
