本研究乃以台北市63所市立國中之中的7所國中一年級學生為施測對象，本研究旨在探討國小英語學習經驗對國中英語學習表現的影響，其中，國小英語學習經驗除了已學習與未學習兩種經驗外，尚包括初學年齡、學習年數、授課教師、學習感受、學習內容與學習地點等不同之學習經驗；國中英語學習表現則函括了認知、情意與技能三層面的英語學習表現。本研究之主要發現如下： 一、國小已學習英語與未學習英語的學生在英語認知、情意與技能方面的差異： （一）英語認知層面：國小已學習英語的學生在英語認知策略與英語後設認知策略的使用上均顯著優於國小未學習英語的學生。 （二）英語情意層面：國小已學習英語的學生在英語學習態度、英語學習動機與英語學習焦慮上均顯著優於國小未學習英語的學生。 （三）英語技能層面：國小已學習英語的學生在英語聽力精熟程度、英語閱讀精熟程度、英語寫作精熟程度以及英語口語精熟程度上均顯著優於國小未學習英語的學生。 二、國小已學習英語的不同經驗在英語認知、情意與技能三層面的差異： （一）英語認知層面：學生的初學年齡與學習地點在英語認知層面均無顯著差異；學習年數則愈長、學習感受愈有趣、學習內容愈完整在認知層面上的表現則愈佳；而授課教師則在認知策略上無顯著差異，在後設認知策略上則外國教師與中外聯合教學顯著優於中國老師教學。 （二）英語情意層面：學生的學習地點在情意層面上無顯著差異；學習年數愈長、學習內容愈完整在情意層面的表現則愈佳；初學年齡則僅於英語學習動機上有顯著差異，且年齡愈低，英語學習動機愈強；授課教師則僅於英語學習無焦慮上有顯著差異，外國教師與中外聯合教學者顯著優於中國教師；學習感受則在英語學習態度與動機上均有顯著差異，且對國小英語學習愈感到有趣者，英語情意表現則愈佳。 （三）英語技能層面：學生的初學年齡在英語閱讀精熟程度上有顯著差異，且初學年齡愈小，英語閱讀程度的表現愈佳；學習年數在英語聽力精熟程度、閱讀精熟程度以及寫作精熟程度上均有顯著差異，且學習年數愈長表現愈佳；授課教師則僅於閱讀精熟程度上有顯著差異，授課教師為外國老師與中外聯合教學者顯著優於中國老師；學習感受亦僅於閱讀精熟程度上有顯著差異，學習感受為有趣者在英語閱讀精熟程度上的表現較佳；學習地點則僅於口語精熟程度上有顯著差異，學習地點為家教式者在英語口語程度上的表現較佳。 / The study is based on the 1_st grade students in junior high school, which are 7 municipal junior high schools among 63 ones in Taipei. The goal of this study is to explore the influence of elementary school's English learning experience includes not noly 'the learned' and 'unlearned', but also the 'starting age','learning years','teachers','feeling about learning','learning contents' and 'learning places'; as to English learning performance, it includes the cognitive, affective and psychomotor stages. The main findings of this study list as below: Ⅰ. The differences between the learned and unlearned students at elementary school period in cognitive, affective and psychomotor stages are: (i) English cognitive stage: the learned ones who use English cognitive strategies and metacognitive strategies are superior to the unlearned. (ii) English affective stage: the learned ones whose English learning attitude, English learning motivation and English learning anxiety are superior to the unlearned. (iii) English psychomotor stage: the learned ones whose skills of English listening proficiency, reading proficiency, writing proficiency and oral proficiency are superior to the unlearned. Ⅱ. The different experiences of the learned in Enlgish cognitive, affective and psychomotor stages are: (i) English cognitive stage: the starting 'age' and learning 'places' at elementary school period in English cognitive stage make no sighnificant difference. The loger 'years', the more interesting 'feeling' and more complete 'content'the students had the better cognitive performance they make. The 'teachers' who taught the students in childhood make no significant difference is using cognitive strategies, but the foreign teacher and the united teaching are superior to the Chinese teacher while the students use metacognitive strategies. (ii) English affective stage: the learning 'places' at elementary school period make no significant difference on English affective stage. The loger 'years' and the more complete 'content' they learned the better performance the students make. The starting 'age' of learning English merely makes difference on English learning motivation-- the younger the learning age started the stronger motivation the students have. The 'teachers' only make significant difference in English learning anxiety-- the foreign teacher and the united teaching are superior to the Chinese teacher. Learning 'feeling' makes significant difference in Enlgish learnging attitude and motivation-- the more interesting they felt about calsses the better affective performance they make. (iii) The psychomotor stage: the starting 'age' makes significant difference in English reading proficiency-- the younger the learning age started the better English reading proficiency the students make. The learning 'years' make significant difference in English listening, reading and writing proficiency-- the longer years the students learned the better performance they make. The 'teachers' merely make significant difference in English reading proficiency-- the foreign teacher and the united teaching are superior to the Chinese teacher. Learning 'feeling' make significant difference in English reading proficiency-- the more interesting the students felt the better English reading proficiency they have.

本研究旨在探查台灣國中基本學力測驗英語科之內容效度，以期了解國中基本學力測驗英語科之試題內容是否達到出題者宣稱之目的，進而對英語教師、教育學者、學生、及社會大眾能有啟示作用。 本研究兼採質及量的分析方法。質的研究取自51位現任國中英語教師之專業判斷，以2003年第一次國中基測英語試題為例，從課本的符合程度、學校教學、學校評量、試題難易度等四方面逐題審視國中基測與教學之相關程度，及問卷調查此51位教師對國中基測與課程標準之總目標、分項目標、基測命題原則、及學力指標之看法，透過Aiken之效度指數檢測是否達到顯著。量的研究取自台灣四所國中共1204位畢業生在校三年之英語段考平均成績分別與國中基測英語原始分數之相關。 研究結果顯示：國中基本學力測驗英語科具有內容效度。 / The purpose of this study is to investigate the content validity of Basic Competence Test (BCT) in English, hoping to verify whether or not the test reaches what the tester claims to test, and further promote a better understanding of BCT toward teachers, students, educators and the public. This study adopts both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Fifty-one qualified junior high school teachers examine the relationship between BCT’s items and curricular instruction from textbook coverage, instruction, evaluation, and item difficulty. They also offer their perceptions toward BCT from the content domain the tester claims to test, i.e. the general and specific objectives of Curriculum Standards, test principles from the BCT Center, and Core Competence Indicators. Aiken’s Validity Index checks if items are significantly content valid. Computing the correlation coefficient between 1204 students’ academic scores of monthly tests for three years at four schools and BCT’s raw scores does the quantitative analysis. The result of this study indicates that first BCT items have high accordance with curricular instruction. Second, students’ performance at school correlates highly to that on BCT. Third, what the BCT Center claims to test is highly acclaimed by the junior high school teachers. In other words, BCT’s content validity is established.

本研究之目的是藉由 ICT（Information and Communication Technology）工具應用在國中英語教學及口語練習的教學實驗，來初探 ICT 工具對於英語教學及口語練習的成效。本研究的工具為一個可供老師靈活教學及學生口語練習的 ICT 工具：eCard 系統，研究時間為一學期（2008.2 – 2008.7），經由老師與學生實際應用此工具來教學及進行口語練習作業，並以 eCard 系統的學習記錄檔（log file）、問卷、訪談、錄音、隨班觀察及錄影來做為本研究的研究資料。研究結果發現，老師及學生均對使用 ICT 工具教學有正面的評價，老師利用此工具可對教學方式做不同的變化，而學生也因這種新式的教學方式而增加學習的注意力，並對字彙的記憶更加深刻；在口語練習方面，老師覺得 ICT 工具可以增加學生口語練習的機會，但因實行時間太短，對學生英語能力的提升較不顯著，而學生覺得 ICT工具提供更多的口語練習機會，並對其發音很有幫助，但對於「說」英語的信心並沒有增加。此外，本研究亦提出許多未來 ICT 工具融入英語教學及口語練習的建議與努力方向，以作為未來研究之參考。 / The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to facilitate oral practices in learning of English.

本研究旨在歸納電腦輔助國中英語任務教學之設計原則，並探究學生在使用電腦軟體時的互動模式。同時，本研究期望能進一步了解，針對此一教師設計之電腦輔助英語教學軟體，學生在使用過程所遇到的困難及與學習夥伴互動的模式。 本研究採取質的研究方法，並且以設計本位研究的概念為架構。研究者先行設計出一套任務導向之電腦英語教學軟體，作為研究雛型。研究對象為九對高學習成就之國中生。研究時程分為三個階段，每個階段由三對學生者參與。藉由觀察及訪談，分析出學生(1)分別在三個階段所遇到的困難，以及(2)與夥伴互動的模式。在第一部份，先一一探討學生對於每個任務的反應，再歸納出重要的教學議題及軟體在下一階段所應作的修正。在第二部份，先討論學生在互動的過程所扮演的角色，再呈現訪談資料裡學生內心對於互動過程的感受。本研究發現，符合學生學習需求的軟體設計、教師所提供的心理支持、及學生互動的品質，皆是影響電腦英語教學成效之關鍵因素。 本研究根據以上軟體設計及學生互動的討論結果，進一步提供建議，以作為任務導向之電腦英語教學相關議題之研究參考。 / The purpose of this study is to derive useful insights and principles for the design of the computer-supported collaboration tasks and to explore patterns of learners’ interaction when working on the computer tasks. This study attempts to understand how learners react to the teacher-designed computer-supported collaborative learning tasks and how they work together with their partners. This study adopts qualitative approach methods within the design-based research framework. First, a task-based computer program is designed as a prototype. Then 9 pairs of high-achieving junior high school students are selected to use the software. Throughout the three cycles of implementation with three pairs of students in each, qualitative data are collected through direct observations and an interview. The results are presented according to the three cycles with a separate section on the participants’ interaction. In the three cycles, the participants’ reactions to each task within each scene are first described, and then pedagogical issues and design adjustments for the next cycle are discussed. In the interaction section, three roles taken by the participants across three cycles are identified, with a discussion on the participants’ viewpoints on their interaction. It is found in this study that the program design, the teacher’s support, and the nature of the learner’s interaction are the key elements affecting the outcomes of using this CSCL program. Finally, pedagogical implications and suggestions based on obstacles that the participants encountered during the program are discussed, with the discussion on limitations of this study and suggestions for further research.

教育部明訂，九年一貫能力指標應作為教科書編輯者編撰課本、習作之依據。透過教科書，學生可期望習得能力指標所標示的能力。台灣國中英語教學現場中，習作常作為學生的回家作業，所以能力指標如何呈現在習作上可影響學生能力習得的結果；然而，目前相關研究仍顯不足，因此，本研究採用九年一貫國中英語讀寫能力指標，分析目前最為廣用的一套國中英語習作。另外，本研究也針對第一線國中英語教師進行團體訪談，以了解教師對習作和能力指標的看法。 本研究的結果總結如下: 1. 14條指標中，只有3項在習作中有超過10%的練習題目(推論字義文意;了 解文章主旨大意；合併、改寫及造句)；然而卻有8項指標在習作中的練 習題少於1.5%。 2. 針對被強調的3項指標，訪談教師同意這些能力的確需要被強調，只不過習 作的練習題仍顯不足。 3. 針對被忽略的8項指標，教師認為有些能力(例:查字典)對學生來說並非最 重要，因此習作缺乏此類練習是可以接受的；不過，某些能力(例:看懂圖 表標示)因為和學生的日常生活息息相關，理應出現在習作裡；而部分難度 較高的指標(例:寫一個段落)可編為自由選擇(optional)的習題，讓程度 較高的學生有更多練習的機會。 根據研究結果，研究者對教育決策者、教科書編輯、及英語教師提出數點 建議。 / The competence indicators (CI) listed in the Grades 1-9 Curriculum Guidelines are regulated as the principles for private publishers to compile teaching materials—textbooks and student workbooks. Through these teaching materials, it is expected that students can acquire the competences stipulated in the curriculum guidelines. Student workbooks, especially in Taiwan’s junior high school English classrooms, are used as a main source for students’ homework. Therefore, how the CIs are incorporated into the workbooks can affect students’ acquirement of the competences. Nonetheless, little research has been done on analysis of English workbooks based on competence indicators. This study, therefore, aimed to analyze a most popular set of junior high school English workbooks based on the Grades 7-9 reading and writing competence indicators. To gain more in-depth insights, a focus group interview with in-service teachers was later conducted to explore teachers’ views on the workbooks and competence indicators. The results of the present study are summarized as follows. 1.Of the 14 CIs, only three were emphasized (to guess meanings of words and reading passages; to understand main ideas; and to combine, change, and make sentences), each taking up more than 10% of the workbook exercises. However, there were up to eight CIs that were neglected, each taking up less than 1.5% of the workbook exercises. 2.As for the three emphasized CIs, the teacher interviewees agreed that the emphasis was necessary, but the practice in the workbooks were still insufficient for their students. 3.As for the eight neglected CIs, the teachers considered that: (1) lack of practice on some CIs, such as to use a dictionary, was acceptable, for these skills were impractical for their students; (2) some practices, such as to fill out forms, should have be included into the workbooks because they were related to students’ daily lives; (3) certain practices, such as to write a simple paragraph, could be designed as optional workbook exercises for high achieving students to master more advanced skills. Finally, some suggestions are provided on the basis of the findings in this study.
