台灣國中學生英語字彙學習策略之研究 / An Investigation into English Vocabulary Learning Strategies Used by Junior High School Students in Taiwan

鄭孟淳, Cheng, Meng-chun Unknown Date (has links)
字彙學習在語言學習上佔有非常重要的地位。本研究之目的旨在探究台灣國中學生在學習英語字彙時使用字彙學習策略的情形,首先,想了解各種不同字彙學習策略的使用頻率,並找出較常和較少使用的字彙學習策略,此外,想探討字彙學習策略的使用和字彙學習成就之間的關係,並找出不同字彙學習成就程度的學生在字彙學習策略使用上的差異之處。 本研究以147位國中三年級學生為調查對象,研究的工具為字彙學習策略問卷和字彙學習成就測驗,資料的分析採用SPSS,包含描述性統計、皮爾遜積差相關分析及單因子變異數分析。研究結果指出(1)整體而言,國中學生使用字彙學習策略的頻率並不高;(2)國中學生最常使用認知策略,最少使用社會策略;(3)國中學生比較常使用「表層」處理策略,比較少使用「深層」處理策略,例如,學生會注意單字的發音及拼法,並且偏愛重複背誦的方式,相反地,他們很少使用聯想或造句的方式來學習字彙;(4)國中學生的字彙學習成就和字彙策略的使用有顯著的相關性,在字彙學習上成就較高的學生,不僅會使用較多樣的策略來學習字彙,而且會更常使用這些字彙策略;(5)在字彙學習上成就較高的學生會比較注意上下文的關聯性、發音與拼法的相關性、字彙的詞性,他們會把單字分成音節而且會把字彙學習與自身的經驗相結合,另外,他們在教材的使用比較積極,相反地,成就較低的學生比較不注重單字的發音;(6)國中學生的學習策略來源主要是學校老師,他們選擇使用某些特定的策略主要原因是因為這些策略比較方便且容易使用,此外他們最想學的字彙學習策略與增加自然練習英語的環境有關。 最後,本研究建議老師應該 (1)教導學生如何使用各種不同的字彙學習策略;(2)在介紹策略的時候要考慮學生的程度;(3)教導學生聯合使用「表層」及「深層」處理策略;(4)教學生猜測單字的意思後,要查字典;(5)提供互動的活動讓學生在自然的環境下學習字彙;(6)鼓勵學生獨立規劃自己的字彙學習。 / Vocabulary learning is of critical importance to language acquisition, whether the language is first, second, or foreign. After suffering from being neglected for decades, vocabulary learning and teaching now have attracted considerable attention in the field of ESL or EFL research. The interest of research has been particularly in studying learners’ approaches to vocabulary learning. The present study aims to investigate the kinds of vocabulary learning strategies used by JHS students in Taiwan. Moreover, it examines whether there is any relationship between JHS students’ vocabulary strategy use and their vocabulary learning achievement. The data were collected from 147 third-grade students from a junior high school in Miaoli by means of two materials. The Vocabulary Learning Strategy Questionnaire was designated to survey what kinds of vocabulary learning strategies JHS students used and how often. The Vocabulary Achievement Test was used to discriminate the participants into different levels in vocabulary learning achievement. Data analysis was performed by SPSS, including descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlations, and one-way ANOVA. The major findings of this study are summarized as follows. (1) JHS students as a whole are moderate users of vocabulary learning strategies. (2) JHS students use cognitive strategies most frequently and social strategies least frequently. (3) JHS students employ “shallow” processing strategies more often than “deep” processing strategies. They particularly favor repetition strategies and pay more attention to the form of a word. On the other hand, they seldom put words in a meaningful context or utilize imagery techniques. (4) JHS students’ vocabulary strategy use is strongly related to their vocabulary learning achievement. Students with better vocabulary learning achievement not only use a wider range of strategies but also use them much more frequently. (5) JHS students with the highest level of vocabulary learning achievement pay much more attention to textual context, dividing words into syllables, active use of the learning materials, the matching between spelling and sound, word classes, and the personalization of information. On the other hand, JHS students with the lowest level of vocabulary learning achievement pay much less attention to the sound of a word. (6) JHS students learn vocabulary strategies primarily from school teachers and their major reason for strategy choice is because of convenience and ease of employment. The strategies that they want to learn most have something to do with increasing authentic input. According to the findings, several pedagogical implications are suggested. Teachers should (1) help JHS learners to raise their awareness of vocabulary learning strategy use; (2) take JHS learners' individual differences, such as vocabulary learning achievement, into account when recommending strategies; (3) instruct JHS learners to increase using the “shallow” processing and “deep” processing strategies in combination; (4) guide JHS students to use the “guessing” and “dictionary” strategies in combination; (5) provide JHS students with more authentic input and communicative interaction for vocabulary learning; (6) encourage JHS students to take charge of their vocabulary learning and view it as a life-long process. If JHS students can be equipped with the abilities to employ appropriate strategies, they can build up vocabulary more effectively and efficiently on their own.

從上下文推論字義教學對高職學生英文字彙學習之影響:個案研究 / The Effects of “Word Meanings Inferred from Context” Instruction in English Vocabulary Learning of Vocational High School Students: A Case Study

陳泠錡, Ling-chi Chen Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討從上下文推論字義教學應用在高職英文字彙教學之效益。 本實驗之研究對象為台北縣某高職80位高二學生,所有的受試者依據其原班級,分為實驗及控制兩組,每組再依前一學年英文成績分為高分與低分兩組,實驗組接受推論字意教學法訓練,而控制組則採用傳統的字彙教學法。在教學實驗開始之前,所有的受試者均參加前測;教學實驗結束之後,所有的受試者再參加後測。前測與後測之題目相同,皆為Oxford的學習策略量表及Nation的單字程度測驗。教學時間每週20分鐘,共計12次,利用猜測字義測驗及文意字彙式短文測驗取得相關資料,各項資料經由次數分配、百分比、平均數、標準差、t考驗等統計分析探討學習成效,最後再對實驗組施以問卷調查,以期了解他們對從上下文推論字義教學之回應。 本研究的結果摘要如下: 一、英文字彙教學實驗之後,除了控制組低分組外,其他受測學生的學習策略都有小幅的進步,惟對於實驗組低分組學生進步達顯著水準。 二、英文字彙教學實驗之後,所有的受測學生在單字程度測驗答對題數均有些微增加,高分組的進步的幅度高於低分組,惟對於實驗組高分組學生進步達顯著水準。 三、文意字彙式短文測驗的成績,控制組較實驗組高,惟對於實驗組低分組與控制組低分組的分數差異達顯著水準。 四、實驗組推論字義的能力與文意字彙式短文字彙測驗的成績,不論對高分組或低分組都呈現高度相關。 五、在60個推論字義的單字測驗當中,實驗組所選出來較難推論的單字,其詞類依序為副詞、形容詞、動詞、名詞。 六、經問卷調查分析,實驗組對於從上下文推論字義教學大部份傾向於正面的肯定。 最後,本文根據研究結果,提出英語教育學上之應用以及未來研究之建議。 / The purpose of this study is to explore two instructional methods on vocational high school students: word meanings inferred from context and word meanings learned from translation. To reach the research goal, the study assumes the quasi-experimental method, which includes the pretest and the posttest. The duration of this experimental teaching program is twelve weeks. A total of 80 sophomores coming from 2 classes at a vocational high school in northern Taiwan are involved in the study. One class is assigned as the experimental group, and the other one the control group. For further comparison, each group is divided into two proficiency subgroups, high and low, based on their English achievement scores in the last academic year. The experimental group receives “word meaning inferred from context” training while the control group is instructed in the traditional vocabulary teaching method. Oxford’s Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and Nation’s Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) are selected as the test items in both the pretest and the posttest. Data for analysis are collected from two sources. One is the subjects’ scores on SILL and VLT, word-inferring test and words-in-context test, and the other comes from the questionnaire regarding the experimental group’s feedbacks and reflections on vocabulary learning through inferring. The collected data are analyzed by frequency distribution, percentage, means, standard deviation, and t-test. The conclusions of the study are summarized as follows: 1. All the subjects make a little improvement after the experiment except the low achievers in the control group. The low achievers in the experimental group improve significantly in performance on language learning strategies. 2. Both the experimental group and the control group show certain progress in VLT. However, only the high achievers in the experimental group perform significantly better. 3. There exists a positive correlation between the subjects’ performance in word-inferring test and words-in-context test for the experimental group. 4. There is a significant difference in words-in-context test score between the low achievers in the experimental and those in the control group. 5. According to the responses of the experimental group, adverbs cause the heaviest learning burden, followed by adjectives, verbs, and nouns. 6. There is a fairly general agreement that the experimental group shows appreciation of the instruction. Further pedagogical implications and suggestions for future studies are provided at the end of the study.

推論技巧在字彙學習及閱讀理解之應用 / The Effect of Lexical Inferencing in Vocabulary Learning and Reading Comprehension

羅文莉, Lo,Wen-li Unknown Date (has links)
本研究的目的是探討學生由上下文猜測字義的能力及其與字彙學習、閱讀能力之相關關係。 研究的對象是台中市育英國中68位二年級的學生。研究的主要工具是兩份評估學生字彙及閱讀能力的全民英檢字彙及閱讀測驗,調查學生關於字彙推論技巧的問卷及訪談各一份。研究過程分為三個步驟:(1)前測— 字彙、閱讀能力測驗及問卷,(2)教學實驗— 字彙推論教學,及(3)後測— 字彙、閱讀能力測驗,問卷,及(4)個別訪談,以獲得更詳盡的資料來支持研究結果的分析。 研究結果發現: (1) 學生的字彙能力及閱讀理解能力具有顯著相關。學生的字彙能力越強,越能幫助他們對文章意義的理解,進而相對地提高他們的閱讀理解能力。 (2) 教授字彙推論技巧有助於學生的字彙學習及閱讀理解。接受字彙推論技巧教學的實驗組學生於後測階段,在字彙能力及閱讀理解測驗的表現均明顯優於未接受字彙推論教學的控制組學生。 (3) 字形、句義及文章大意為最常被學生運用來做字彙推論的線索。這一點控制組及實驗組學生均是如此,但實驗組學生使用地較頻繁,而且利用的推論線索也較控制組學生更多且更適當。 根據以上的結果,本研究提出三點建議: (1) 字彙推論教學可以融合於學校課程之中進行,一節課十至十五分鐘讓學生練習推論字義,四個月的教學,學生已能利用各類推論線索對字義做適當的推論。英語教學雜誌及英語郵報上的文章,是提供學生更多練習機會的理想補充教材。 (2) 老師教導字彙推論技巧時,應選擇適合學生程度、符合學生背景知識及具有充分線索供學生推論的教材或文章,避免學生因推論線索不足而胡亂猜測,無法對其閱讀理解有助益。並從較簡單的『單字本身』及『句內上下文』線索教起,再循序進入較難的『跨句上下文』和『背景知識』線索。 (3) 當學生出現閱讀困難時,老師應先確定困難形成的原因,分辨究竟是字彙基本能力不足或不懂得運用策略造成的,才能對症下藥,幫助學生增進字彙學習及培養閱讀理解能力。 / This study investigates the lexical inferencing made by Taiwan EFL students at a junior high school when they encounter unknown words in English texts. The researcher examines the effect of lexical inferencing on their vocabulary learning and reading comprehension, and the types of knowledge sources and contextual cues they use in the process. Sixty-eight students, thirty-four from Class 201 and thirty-four from Class 204, are selected as the participants for this study. These students are at the similar English proficiency level according to their academic proficiency scores last semester. The vocabulary test and reading comprehension test of GEPT, elementary level (LTTC, 2001) are used in the pretest to measure the participants’ vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension ability before treatment. A questionnaire is applied to investigate the varied types of knowledge sources and contextual cues used by the participants in the process of lexical inferencing both in the pretest and the posttest. The treatment—lexical inferencing instruction, lasting for four months, is conducted on the participants in the experimental group. After the treatment, two posttests of vocabulary and reading comprehension are conducted again to assess if there is any significant difference on vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension between the controlled group and the experimental group. The main findings of this study are as follows: 1. There is a significant correlation between students’ vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension. Better vocabulary competence contributes to better reading comprehension. Vocabulary competence can serve as good predictors of reading ability in a foreign language. 2. Lexical inferencing instruction does contribute to better performances in vocabulary and reading comprehension tests. The participants who receive instruction demonstrate significant progress. Lexical inferencing instruction also results in the recognition and employment of varied types of knowledge sources and contextual cues which facilitate the appropriate word meanings inferred. 3. Both groups use similar types of knowledge sources and contextual cues when making inferences. However, students in the experimental group make use of more types of knowledge sources and contextual cues in the process of inferencing and they practice the inferencing strategy more frequently. Sentence level meaning, word morphology, and discourse level meaning are the cues most frequently used by both groups. Pedagogical implications of this study and suggestions for further research are also presented. 1. Instruction of vocabulary inferring can be integrated into regular curriculum. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes per class for students to practice the inference strategy. As shown in our experiment, after four months of instruction, students achieve significant progress in the use of knowledge sources and contextual cues while reading. Articles in English learning magazines or bilingual newspapers are good supplementary reading materials for practice. These materials are usually longer and contain various types of knowledge sources and contextual cues. 2. To teach inferring skills, teachers should choose the reading texts which are familiar to students and contain enough knowledge sources and contextual cues. Students incline to giving wild guesses when they can not find adequate cues to help them do the job. Lexical inference instruction can be conducted by focusing on the word level cues in the first phase, then extending to the sentence level cues, and to the wilder discourse level cues. Equipping students with rich world knowledge is also helpful. 3. Teachers should examine students’ reading difficulties should to figure out what the problems are. Students’ reading problems may result from lack of basic linguistic competence or lexical strategies in reading. With knowledge of these problems, the teacher can help the students overcome their difficulties and become successful readers.

董佳雯, Tung, Chia-wen Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討台灣綜合高中學生學習字彙時所運用的字彙學習策略,研究問題主要探討:學術學程及職業學程的學生在學習字彙時是否運用不同的字彙學習策略並找出其較常和較少使用之字彙學習策略,以及字彙學習高成就者和低成就者字彙學習策略之差異。藉此俾能提供英文老師幫助不同學程、成就的學生運用字彙學習策略,以期達到更佳的字彙學習成效。 本研究抽樣台北縣、市8所綜合高中共648位高三學生為調查對象,研究工具為字彙學習策略問卷與字彙能力測驗。分析方法主要採量化分析,包括獨立樣本t檢定、描述性統計、斯皮爾曼等級相關,本研究結果發現如下: 一、學術學程及職業學程的學生之字彙學習策略使用頻率具有顯著差異,學術學程的學生比職業學程的學生運用較多決定策略及記憶策略。 二、學術學程及職業學程的學生之字彙學習策略使用頻率排序相同,在發現字義部份依序為決定策略、社會策略;在鞏固字義部份依序為認知策略、記憶策略、後設認知策略、社會策略。 三、字彙學習高成就者和低成就者之字彙學習策略使用頻率具有顯著差異,高成就者比低成就者運用較多字彙學習策略。 最後,本文依據研究結果,提出老師英語教學上之應用及未來研究之建議。 / The purpose of this study was to investigate the vocabulary learning strategies used by comprehensive high school students in Taiwan. There were three questions focusing on the differences of use frequency of vocabulary learning strategies between academic-oriented and vocational-oriented students, the strategy use rank between these two groups of students, as well as the relation between vocabulary achievement and vocabulary learning strategy use frequency. A total of 648 students in Taipei City and Taipei County participated in the study. A vocabulary learning strategy questionnaire and a vocabulary achievement test were applied as instruments to obtain the data needed. Data from the students’ responses were computed and analyzed by means of independent-sample t-tests, descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s rank correlation. The findings of this study were summarized as follows. 1.There was a significant difference in vocabulary learning strategy use frequency between academic-oriented students and vocational-oriented students. The former applied more determination strategies to discover the meaning of a new word, and more memory strategies to consolidate the words encountered. 2.The ranking order of use frequency in vocabulary learning strategies by academic-oriented and vocational-oriented students was identical. In Part 1 (discovering the meaning of a new word), determination strategies were used most frequently, then followed by social strategies. In part 2 (consolidating the words encountered), cognitive strategies were used most frequently, followed by memory strategies, metacognitive strategies, and the last, social strategies. 3.There was a significant difference between good learners and poor learners in vocabulary learning strategy use frequency. Good learners applied more vocabulary learning strategies than poor learners to know an English word’s meaning. Based on the above results, some pedagogical implications for English teachers were developed and suggestions for future research were provided at the end of the study.

情境推論策略對國中生字彙學習及閱讀理解之成效 / The Effects of contextual inference strategy on vocabulary learning and reading comprehension in a junior high school in Taiwan

陳奕潔, Chen, Yi Chieh Unknown Date (has links)
本文旨在探討情境推論策略對台灣國中生字彙學習及閱讀理解兩方面的成效。本研究結果希望對英文老師在單字及閱讀教學上有很大的啟示作用及幫助。 本實驗的研究對象為台北縣某國中75位國三學生,所有受試者依據其原班級隨機分派為實驗組及控制組,實驗組接受情境推論策略訓練,而控制組則採用傳統教學法。在教學活動前後,實驗組及控制組的所有學生皆施予Paribakht和 Westche設計的字彙知識等級測驗,猜測字義測驗,閱讀理解測驗及英語學習背景問卷,實驗組則於後測時另外接受對此訓練活動的問卷調查。 本研究結果顯示:(一)實驗組在在接受「情境推論策略」訓練後於字彙學習上有顯著差異,亦即「情境推論策略」的教學有效增進學生字彙學習表現。(二)實驗組在接受「情境推論策略」訓練後,在猜測字義的表現上有顯著的進步。(三)在五種情境線索的題目表現,實驗組在「同義線索」和「定義線索」的題目表現上最好,而在「解釋線索」的題目表現上較不理想。至於五種情境線索的運用,實驗組較能正確使用「語調線索」,而較不會正確使用「解釋線索」。(四) 實驗組在接受「情境推論策略」訓練後,於閱讀理解表現上有顯著進步,,亦即「情境推論策略」的教學有效增進學生閱讀理解。(五)從反應問卷中顯示,接受此一策略訓練活動後,大部分的學生對於「情境推論策略」教學傾向於正面的肯定,並期望在未來英語課程中能繼續進行此教學活動。但部分學生對於在閱讀中碰到不認識單字仍有些許不安。 根據上述研究結果,本研究建議國中英語教師可以運用「情境推論策略」教學增進學生字彙學習和猜測字義能力,以及加強他們對於閱讀理解的表現和對英文學習的正面肯定。同時,為了能讓「情境推論策略」在學生字彙學習上發揮最大效益,教師應考慮字彙練習及字彙在文章中重複出現的重要。 / The present study aims to explore the effectiveness of contextual inference strategy (CIS) on vocabulary learning and reading comprehension of junior high school students in Taiwan. Two third- grade junior high school classes were selected as one experimental group and one control group. The research methods involved word-guessing pre- and post-test, vocabulary pre- and post-test, reading comprehension pre- and post-test, and questionnaires. The data analyses were descriptive statistics, Paired Sample T-test, and Independent Sample T-test. Based on the results of this study, major findings are summarized as follows. First, the CIS instruction led to greater gains in learners’ vocabulary knowledge than traditional instruction did. Second, CIS instruction had a significant effect on the experimental group’s word guessing abilities. Third, the participants performed better in the questions of synonym and definition clues while they were not good at questions of explanation clues. As for their use of contextual clues, the correctness rate of mood or tone clue ranks the highest while the explanation clue the lowest. Fourth, the two groups’ scores of the post-reading comprehension tests showed significant difference, indicating participants who were instructed with CIS performed better in the reading comprehension than those who didn’t. Fifth, according to the response questionnaire, most students considered CIS instruction helpful and gave positive responses to this training activity. The aforementioned findings in this study suggested that junior high school teachers could adopt CIS training to enhance students’ vocabulary learning and word-guessing abilities, and to reinforce their reading comprehension and positive attitudes toward English learning. Also, to help students perform better in vocabulary learning, teachers could implement focused instruction, such as redundant presentation and exercises.

具自律學習機制之英語字彙學習APP對於學習成效的影響研究 / The Effects of English Vocabulary Learning APP with Self-regulated Learning Mechanism on Learning Performance

楊舜閔, Yang,Shun Min Unknown Date (has links)
英語為目前使用的最為普遍的國際語言,英語能力已成為每個學生都需要養成的基本能力,而英語字彙的學習,更是學好英語的最重要基礎,因此如何幫助學生學好英語也就越顯重要。 隨者資訊科技日新月異的發展,透過電腦輔助語言學習已成為發展趨勢,近年來利用自律機制輔助數位學習的研究,已證實自律機制有助於提升學習成效,然而目前仍少有研究將自律學習機制應用於英語學習,特別是英語字彙學習。因此本研究所發展一「具自律學習機制支援之英語字彙學習APP」,可以讓學習者監控並提醒自己所設定的英語字彙自律學習目標,希望藉由敦促學習者達成自己所設定的自律學習目標,促進學生利用零碎時間學習,提升學習者的英語字彙學習成效。為了驗證「具自律學習機制支援之英語字彙學習APP」是否有助於提升英語字彙學習成效,本研究隨機選取國小六年級二個班級學生為研究對象,將其中一班隨機分派為採用「具自律學習機制支援之英語字彙學習APP」的實驗組,另一班為採用「無自律學習機制支援之英語字彙學習APP」的控制組,分別進行為期三週的英語字彙學習活動。實驗結果發現: (1).實驗組學習者學習成效及學習動機顯著優於控制組學習者 (2)實驗組場地相依學習者學習成效及學習動機顯著優於控制組場地相依學習者 (3).實驗組男性學習者在學習成效及學習動機均顯著優於控制組男性學習者 (4).實驗組女性學習者在學習成效及學習動機均顯著優於控制組女性學習者 (5).實驗組學習者進行自律學習後的學習成效及學習動機均顯著提升 (6).實驗組女性學習者學習成效及學習態度優於實驗組男性學習者 綜合本研究之研究結果,建議未來可以延長實驗時間,進行自律鷹架的去除,瞭解學生是否會因此養成自律學習的能力。此外根據學生的回應,希望APP中具休閒的功能,故亦可往遊戲化學習方向進行研究。 關鍵字: 自律學習(Self-regulated Learning)、學習成效(Learning Performance)、認知風格(Cognitive Style)、英語字彙學習(English Vocabulary Learning) / English is currently the commonest international language. English competence has become the basic competence of each student. English vocabulary learning is a primary basis to learn English well. How to help students learn English well therefore becomes more important. Following the changeable development of information technology, computer assisted language learning has become a development trend. Research on utilizing self-regulatory mechanisms for e-learning proved that self-regulatory mechanism could enhance learning performance. Nonetheless, there is little research on the application of self-regulatory learning mechanism to English learning, particularly to English vocabulary learning. For this reason, a “self-regulatory learning supported English vocabulary learning APP” is developed in this study, allowing learners monitoring and reminding themselves of the preset English vocabulary self-regulatory learning goal. It is expected to promote learners’ English vocabulary learning performance by urging learners to achieve the preset self-regulatory learning goal and enhance students learning with trial time. To verify that the “self-regulatory learning supported English vocabulary learning APP” could enhance English vocabulary learning performance, two classes of G6 students are randomly selected as the research subjects. A class is randomly assigned as the experiment group with the “self-regulatory learning supported English vocabulary learning APP”, and the other class is the control group without the “self-regulatory learning supported English vocabulary learning APP” for the three-week English vocabulary learning. The experiment findings show that (1) Learners in the experiment group present significantly better learning performance and learning motivation than those in the control group. (2) Site-dependent learners in the experiment group show remarkably better learning performance and learning motivation than those in the control group. (3) Male learners in the experiment group reveal notably better learning performance and learning motivation than male learners in the control group. (4) Female learners in the experiment group appear significantly beter learning performance and learning motivation than femal learners in the control group. (5) Learners in the experiment group remarkably enhance the learning performance and learning motivation after the self-regulatory learning. (6) Femal learners in the experiment group reveal better learning performance and learning attitudes than male learners in the experiment group. Summing up the research results, it is suggested that the future experiment time could be extended and the self-regulatory scaffolding could be removed to understand whether students would cultivate the self-regulatory learning ability. According to the students’ responses, it is further expected that the APP could show the function of leisure. In this case, the gamification of learning could be studied in the future.

高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念與實踐 / Vocational High School English Teachers' Beliefs and Practices in Integrating Vocabulary Learning Strategies into Their Instruction

廖乙驊, Liao,I hua Unknown Date (has links)
回溯過去的研究,教師信念對於其教學行為影響非常深遠,但是對於字彙學習策略融入教學這個議題,相關的研究仍然不多。本研究旨在探討高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念還有實際的教學情形。文獻探討涵蓋字彙教學的發展、字彙學習策略的理論以及教師信念與實踐。 本研究所蒐集到的有效問卷為二百零一份,研究的對象為台灣的高職英文教師。研究方式採用量化的教師問卷佐以質性的教師訪談。共有八位教師參與本研究的訪談。訪談的內容經過整理分析,用來解釋或補充問卷統計的結果。分析問卷時,採用的統計方法有描述性統計、相關係數、單因子變異數分析。本研究的主題如下:(一) 教師信念及教學情形:分別以認知策略、社會策略、後設認知以及學習媒介等策略來探討、(二)教師信念與其實踐情形是否符合,與造成兩者之間不相符的可能原因以及(三)探討影響教師信念與實踐的各種因素。 本研究的主要發現是: 1. 教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學抱持相當正面的態度,而實踐程度是中低等以上。 2. 由於統計顯示教師信念和實踐是正相關,教師實踐和他們的信念大致符合,不過教師所面臨的一些問題如教學時數限制、學生動機、教科書的設計、資源不足等會使他們無法完全遵照其信念於教學。 3. 一些因素如教學年資、教師學歷、學生程度、英語教學時間長短、教師是否參加字彙相關研習,以及是否接觸學習策略相關的研究報告等確實會影響教師的教學信念與實踐。 本研究有助於了解高職英文教師對於字彙學習策略融入教學的信念以及他們實踐的情形,希望能夠提升老師對於策略教學的覺知。研究者對於英文教師、師資培育機構、教育部還有教師書出版社提出建議改善之道,期望能進一步提升高職的英語教學。 / Although research has shown that teacher beliefs play a decisive role in teachers’ instructional judgments and decisions, their beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies have not gained enough attention in the recent English educational forum. This study aimed to explore what attitudes vocational high school English teachers held toward the instruction of vocabulary learning strategies and their practices of the beliefs. Literature review ranged from vocabulary instruction, vocabulary learning strategies to teachers’ beliefs and practices. The participants of this study were vocational high school teachers in Taiwan. The data collection instruments were questionnaire and interview. The former provided mainly quantitative data and the latter qualitative data. A total of 201 valid questionnaires were analyzed and computed by means of descriptive statistics, correlation, t-test and one-way ANOVA. Eight teachers were contacted for the follow-up interviews. Their interview results were utilized to further support and explain the questionnaire data. There were three issues investigated in this study. The first one was teachers’ beliefs and practices in integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their instruction. Teachers’ beliefs and practices of cognitive strategies, social strategies, multiple sources, and metacognitive strategies were discussed. The second was the consistency and inconsistency between teachers’ beliefs and their practices and the possible problems that might cause the inconsistency. The third one was influential factors that affected teachers’ beliefs and practices. Based on the results of the study, major findings were summarized. First, teachers approved highly of the integration of vocabulary learning strategies and the frequency of their practices ranged from low to high. Second, based on the significant correlation of teachers’ beliefs and practices, the relationship was generally consistent. However, teachers were not able to teach what they believed completely. Some of the strategies revealed larger gap due to the problems from the curriculum, students’ motivation, textbook design and teachers’ preparation. Third, variables such as teachers’ teaching experience, educational background, students’ BCT test score, instructional time, teachers’ attendance of workshops and their exposure to related research were found to be significant in affecting teachers’ beliefs and practices. It is hoped that the study can contribute to more understanding of vocational high school teachers’ beliefs and practices in vocabulary learning strategies. Teachers may inspect their teaching process and raise the awareness of integrating vocabulary learning strategies into their teaching. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher further made suggestions to English teachers, teacher education institutes, the Ministry of Education and the textbook publishers. Results of this study might help enhance English teaching in vocational high schools.

字彙學習是語文能力重要的一環,許多教學也都是以提升孩童單字量之目的設計的,其中,故事閱讀活動就被推崇為是能以提供豐富情境的方式來增進孩童語文能力的有效策略。本研究主旨在探討繪本共讀對EFL國小學童字彙學習的影響,主要的研究方向有:(1) 圖文標指與引導問答教學對學童運用繪本學習字彙的影響; (2)不同教學引導方式對學生字彙保留量的影響; (3)不同教學引導方式對不同程度學生所產生的影響。 受試者為五十四位台北縣五年級國小學童,其字彙測驗成績則為資料分析來源。本研究主要發現有下列幾點。第一,圖文標指和引導問答教學對國小學童運用繪本學習字彙皆有助益。第二,圖文標指和引導問答教學對學童字彙保留量都有正面的影響。第三,英語學習高成就學生在運用繪本學習字彙上收穫比低成就學生多,其中,圖文標指教學對高成就以及低成就學生皆有助益;此外,總括來說,引導問答教學對高成就學生的字彙學習幫助最大。 最後,本文提供了教學者以及日後研究者相關建議,並期盼研究結果能帶給台灣英語老師一些字彙教學上的參考。 / Vocabulary plays an important role in children’s emergent literacy. Many instructions were developed to build children’s word knowledge. Among them, storybook reading is promoted to be an effective strategy that enhances children’s literacy by providing rich contexts. The purpose of the present study aims to examine the effects of the techniques of labeling (L) and labeling plus questioning (L+Q) for vocabulary teaching with storybook reading in EFL elementary school. The study is mainly concerned with three aspects: (1) the effects of L and L+Q on student’s vocabulary learning during shared storybook reading; (2) student’s retention of learned vocabulary affected by the two techniques; (3) the influence of the two techniques on students with diverse English proficiency. Participants were 54 fifth-grade elementary school students in Taipei County, and the data analysis was based on their performance of the Picture Vocabulary Test (PVT). The findings of the study are as follows. First, L and L+Q techniques were both beneficial for student’s receptive vocabulary learning during shared storybook reading. Second, both L and L+Q techniques were effective in retaining student’s word knowledge. Third, overall performance of students with high English proficiency (HEP) in PVT improved more significantly than that of students with low English proficiency (LEP). Besides, L technique was helpful for HEP and LEP’s receptive vocabulary learning, but not for HEP’s word retention. Moreover, HEP were most influenced by L+Q technique in vocabulary learning during shared storybook reading. Based on the findings of the present study, pedagogical implications and suggestions for future study were provided at the end of the thesis.

英語字彙的知識和能力是學好英語的關鍵因素之一,同時亦是影響閱讀流暢度的主要原因。但英語字彙教學常受限於時間及語言學習環境的限制,致使學習成效有限。隨著資訊科技的進步,許多研究著手於發展科技輔助英語字彙學習系統來輔助學習者進行英語字彙學習,希望能將英語字彙學習擴展到課程之外的時間。過去閱讀標註系統已被成功應用在提升學生的閱讀及字彙能力,然而相關的研究大都以使用文字、圖片和影片單一標註功能為主,鮮少研究探討多媒體閱讀標註對於字彙學習的研究。此外,閱讀標註部份也以教師的標註輔助學習為主,未有透過學生合作標註輔以英語字彙學習的研究。鑒於多媒體標註功能對教學的助益,本研究探討以具多媒體標註功能的數位閱讀標註系統來輔助英語字彙學習,不同多媒體標註組合對於英語字彙學習的影響差異。 據此,本研究探討在英文閱讀文本上讓國小學童採用文字及聲音(學生錄音)、圖片及聲音(學生錄音)與文字、圖片及聲音(學生錄音)等三種不同多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習,對於兒童英語字彙學習成效、英語學習動機、學習滿意度以及記憶保留的影響差異。此外,也進一步探討採用上述三種不同多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習,對於不同認知風格、不同英語能力及不同性別學童的英語字彙學習成效、英語學習動機、學習滿意度,以及記憶保留的影響差異,希望能發展出最有助於兒童基於多媒體閱讀標註輔以英語字彙學習的有效閱讀標註輔助學習模式。 研究結果發現:(1)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的學童在英語字彙學習的成效上,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童,而採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童之成效又顯著優於採用與語音標註搭配文字標註的學童;(2)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註以及採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童在英語字彙記憶保留的成效上顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的學童;(3)採用三種不同多媒體搭配進行合作式閱讀標註的學童,其英語學習動機除了使用語音標註搭配文字標註的學童在「動機強度」向度的表現顯著優於使用語音標註搭配圖片標註的學童外,其餘向度未達顯著差異;而學習滿意度均無顯著差異;(4)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的圖像型學童,在英語字彙學習成效顯著高於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的圖像型學童;(5)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註進行英語字彙學習的圖像型學童之英語字彙學習保留成效,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的圖像型學童;(6)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的高分組學童之英語字彙學習成效,顯著高於採用語音標註搭配文字標註以及採用語音標註搭配圖片標註的高分組學童;(7)採用語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註的高分組學童之英語字彙學習保留成效,顯著優於採用語音標註搭配文字標註的高分組學童;(8)學童採用語音標註搭配文字、語音標註搭配圖片標註、語音標註搭配文字及圖片標註三種模式進行合作式閱讀標註,其英語字彙學習成效與英語字彙記憶保留程度,以及英語學習動機與學習滿意度之間具顯著相關性。最後,本研究亦提出應用多媒體標註於英語教學以及未來研究方向上的建議。 / English vocabulary knowledge and capability are the key factors in well learning English as well as the major factor in reading fluency. Nonetheless, English vocabulary teaching is often restricted to time and language learning environments to further restrict the learning achievement. With the advance of information technology, a lot of research focuses on developing technology-assisted English vocabulary learning systems to help learners’ English vocabulary learning, expecting to expand English vocabulary learning to the time beyond lessons. Past reading annotation systems were successfully applied to enhance students’ reading and vocabulary capabilities. However, most relevant research stressed on single annotation function of text, picture, and video, but seldom on multimedia reading annotation towards vocabulary learning. Moreover, reading annotation also concentrated on teacher annotation-assist learning, but not on student cooperative annotation assisted English vocabulary learning. In consideration of the assistance of multimedia annotation in teaching, a digital reading annotation system with multimedia annotation functions is utilized for English vocabulary learning to discuss the effects of different multimedia annotation combination on English vocabulary learning. Accordingly, English vocabulary learning assisted with different multimedia reading annotation of text & voice (student recording), picture & voice (student recording), and text, picture & voice (student recording) in English reading texts for elementary pupils is investigated the effects on children’s English vocabulary learning achievement, English learning motivation, learning satisfaction, and memory retention. Furthermore, the above multimedia reading annotation assisted English vocabulary learning are also discussed the effects on English vocabulary learning achievement, English learning motivation, learning satisfaction, and memory retention of pupils with different cognitive styles, English capabilities, and genders, expecting to develop the most effective reading annotation assisted learning model based on multimedia reading annotation assisted English vocabulary learning. The research findings are summarized as below. (1) Pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation significantly outperform the ones with voice annotation and picture annotation on English vocabulary learning achievement, while the ones with voice annotation with picture annotation remarkably outperform those voice annotation and text annotation. (2) Pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation and the ones applying voice annotation with picture annotation notably outperform the others with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary memory retention. (3) Among pupils applying different multimedia with cooperative reading annotation, the ones with voice annotation and text annotation present significantly better performance than those with voice annotation and picture annotation on Motive Strength in English learning motivation, but not on the rest dimensions. Besides, the learning satisfaction does not appear remarkable difference. (4) Pictorial pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation notably present higher English vocabulary learning achievement than those pictorial pupils with text annotation. (5) Pictorial pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation significantly outperform the other pictorial pupils with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary learning retention. (6) High-score pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation remarkably outperform the other high-score pupils applying voice annotation with text annotation and voice annotation with picture annotation on English vocabulary learning achievement. (7) High-score pupils applying voice annotation with text & picture annotation notably outperform the other high-score pupils with voice annotation and text annotation on the achievement of English vocabulary learning retention. (8) Pupils applying different cooperative reading annotation of voice annotation with text annotation, voice annotation with picture annotation, and voice annotation with text & picture annotation show significant correlations between English vocabulary learning achievement and English vocabulary memory retention as well as English learning motivation and learning satisfaction. Finally, suggestions for applying multimedia annotation to English teaching and for future research directions are also proposed in this study.

不同設計元素之遊戲式英文單字學習APP在學習成效、情緒及注意力之影響研究 / Effects of Design Factors of Game-based English Vocabulary Learning APP on Learning Performance, Emotion, and Attention

曹鼎, Cao, Ding Unknown Date (has links)
遊戲式學習已被證實能夠有效提升學習者的學習成效,而遊戲的愉悅度是否設計得越強烈,對學習成效越有幫助,是個值得探索的問題。此外,遊戲過程中,有哪些遊戲設計要素能夠影響學習成效,同時讓學習者在遊戲中亦能夠感到趣味性,進而達到學習目標,值得我們關切。再者,學習的專注力及情緒在學習型遊戲設計中,也是必須納入考量的面向。因此,本研究分別探討兩款在遊戲設計要素上具有顯著差異的英文單字學習APP,對於學習者學習成效、專注力、放鬆度及單字記憶保留上的影響。 本研究以馬祖高中高三的36位學生為研究對象,根據英語字彙前測成績及性別將其隨機分派至兩款在遊戲設計要素上具有顯著差異的英文單字學習APP,進行四週的英語字彙學習。結果顯示遊戲設計要素較低的組別的學習者,在英文單字學習成效、單字記憶保留上的成效均顯著優於遊戲設計要素較高組別學習者,同時放鬆度亦較高,而專注度不如遊戲設計要素較高的組別,且各依變項間彼此有顯著的正相關。此外,本研究亦進一步證實性別差異存在於不同遊戲設計要素的英語字彙學習APP中,在遊戲設計要素較低的英文單字學習APP中,發現女性學習者擁有顯著較優的英語字彙學習成效及記憶保留度。而本研究也發現「符合程度的挑戰性」為設計遊戲式英文單字學習APP時最需要重視的遊戲設計要素。 綜上所述,本研究證實相較於遊戲設計要素較高的高刺激性英文單字學習APP,遊戲設計要素較低的低刺激性英文單字遊戲APP對於學習成效、單字記憶保留上具有較正面的效應。此一結果顯示像英語字彙學習這樣的認知型學習,在遊戲設計上並不適合納入刺激性較高的遊戲設計要素。此外,對遊戲設計者來說,未來設計英文單字遊戲學習APP時,亦應將性別差異納入設計考量,同時儘可能在遊戲娛樂性及教育性中取得平衡。 / Game-based learning has been proved to effectively boost learners’ learning performance, while whether more enjoyment designed in the game brings better learning performance remains unknown. Besides, what game design factors will affect learning performance and simultaneously keep learners interested in the game is also worth investigating. Moreover, attention and emotion are two dimensions which should be taken into account when designing learning games. As a result, this study tries to assess the effects of using two different English vocabulary learning APPs with significantly different game design factors on learners’ performance, sustained attention, meditation, and vocabulary memory retention, respectively. A pilot study was conducted beforehand to examine whether the two considered English vocabulary game APPs differ significantly in game design factors including concentration, feedback, challenges match player skills, control, and immersion. In the formal study, thirty-six Grade 12 students from Matsu senior high school participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two experimental groups based on gender and pretest scores, separately using two English vocabulary game APPs with significantly different game design factors for English vocabulary learning. The study lasted for four weeks. Analytical results show that students using game with lower scores in game design factors generated significantly better vocabulary learning performance, memory retention and meditation level than those using game with higher scores in game design factors, while sustained attention level was lower. Also, they were significantly correlated to one another. Moreover, this study further confirms that gender differences existed among English vocabulary learning games with different game design factors. Girls were found to have significantly better English vocabulary learning performance and memory retention in the game APP with lower scores in game design factors. Furthermore, “challenge matches players’ skill” was found to be the most important game design factor when designing game-based English vocabulary learning APPs. In conclusion, this study confirms that English vocabulary game APPs with lower exciting elements have more positive learning effects on learning performance, memory retention than those with higher scores in game design factors. The result indicates that when designing games, higher exciting game design factors are not suitable for cognitive learning, such as English vocabulary learning. Finally, this study provides suggestions for future game-design developers to take gender differences into consideration when designing English vocabulary learning game APPs, and meanwhile tries to strike the balance between educational purpose and entertainment of the game APPs.
