臺灣五專學生英語聽力學習信念與聽力學習策略之研究 / Taiwanese Five-year Junior College EFL Students’ Beliefs

楊名暖, Yang, Ming Nuan Unknown Date (has links)
雖然聽力在語言學習中佔重要的地位,研究學者對學習者的聽力信念的了解仍十分有限。因此本研究主要是探討五專學生對英語聽力的信念和學習策略,並探討聽力信念和學習策略二者之間的關係,另外程度不同的學生是否抱持不同的聽力信念及使用不同的策略,也是本研究探討的重點。 本研究採用量性研究方法,研究對象為北部某五專406位五專學生。研究工具為英語聽力學習者背景問卷、英語聽力學習信念問卷、聽力學習策略問卷和英語聽力測驗。 本研究的主要發現如下:學生均肯定聽力在語言學習過程扮演的角色,它可以幫助學生學習其它的英文能力。學生使用聽力學習策略約為中等程度,在不同的策略類型當中,學生最常使用認知策略,其次為後設認知策略。聽力信念和學習策略二者之間關係密切。而程度較好的學生在聽力信念方面,有較高的聽力學習效能,並認同口語的特色可以幫助了解英文。在學習策略方面,程度較好的學生會使用較多的學習策略,並視任務的不同而彈性使用適當的策略。 本論文並提出英聽教學上之應用建議。本研究結果可以幫助教師了解學生的聽力信念及學習困擾,幫助老師教導學生正確的學習信念及有效的學習策略,讓學生的英語聽力學習更有成效,進而改善英語聽力。 / Despite the importance of studying listening in foreign language learning, we still have very limited understanding of learners’ listening beliefs, and a more comprehensive system of listening beliefs is still not in sight. Hence, this study investigated junior college students’ listening beliefs, their listening strategy use, the relationship between their listening beliefs and strategies and the possible effects of English listening proficiency on junior college students’ listening beliefs and listening strategy use. This study mainly employed a quantitative approach to understanding junior college students’ beliefs about English listening comprehension, their strategy use and the relationship between listening beliefs and strategies. The participants were 406 students from one junior college in northern Taiwan. The instruments of the study were the Learner Profile Questionnaire (LPQ), the Belief About English Listening Comprehension Questionnaire (BELCQ), and English Listening Strategy Questionnaire (ELSQ) and the listening comprehension test. The results of the study suggested that: (1) most learners endorsed the belief that listening plays an important role in their English learning process and may facilitate the development of other language skills, (2) learners showed a medium level use of listening strategies and used a wide variety of strategies including cognitive and metacognitive strategies, (3) learners’ listening beliefs were associated with their use of listening strategies, (4) compared with ineffective learners, effective learners tended to report positive beliefs about listening comprehension, and (5) effective learners used a wider variety of strategies than ineffective listeners. Results of this study regarding junior college students’ listening beliefs and listening strategy use may provide rich implications for English education in Taiwan. It is hoped that through this study, more attention will be drawn to listening instruction in junior college students. Understanding students’ beliefs about listening may help English teachers become more aware of students’ frustrations and difficulties in listening to English. Moreover, it might enable EFL teachers to help students develop effective learning strategies and ultimately improve students’ English listening abilities.

台中地區小學學生及其英文教師對於有效英語教學信念之比較 / A study on elementary school students’ and teachers’ perceptions of effective English teaching

楊祐華, Yang,Yu hua Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探究並比較小學學生及其英語教師對於有效外語教學之信念。在英語教室中,學生其及老師對於教學的看法有許多相同與相異之處,這些信念會直接或間接影響到教學的有效性。 本研究以問卷調查法進行,對象為台中市34名公立小學英語教師及其811位高年級學生,問卷內容改編自Brown(2009)自編問卷及教育部九年一貫課程綱要 (2007)。問卷回收後資料以統計軟體SPSS 18.0進行敘述性統計、獨立樣本t考驗、單因子變異數分析及薛費事後法分析,獲得結果簡述如下: 1.國小學生及其英語教師對於各項教學法抱持正向的態度。 2.在性別、課外學習經驗、學習英文時間早晚等因素影響下,會影響小學學生對於有效英語教學習的信念。 3.在文法教學上,學生及其教師均持正向態度,教師尤其偏愛歸納式教學。 4.在錯誤糾正上,學生認為教師須立即處理錯誤,但教師們允許適當的忽略。 5.在溝通式教學法上,學生及其教師均持正向態度,但學生對於小組互動的上課方式持較保留的態度。 6.在多元評量方面,學生及其教師均持正向態度,但學生們對於傳統紙筆測驗的看法高於教師們。 根據問卷調查結果,本研究最後提供教學上相關建議以供參考。 / The major purpose of the study is to identify elementary school students’ beliefs toward effective teaching and make a comparison to those of their teachers’. In language classrooms, the students and their English teachers may have very similar or disparate notions of effective teaching, and the intersection of the two sets of beliefs shows direct or indirect impacts on teaching effectiveness. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data from 34 English teachers and 811 students in public elementary schools in Taichung Area. The items in the questionnaire were mainly adapted from the model by Brown (2009) and the Instruction Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Education (MOE, 2007). In this study, statistic computerization, including descriptive statistics, the independent sample t-test, and ANOVA with the post- hoc Scheffe test were used to analyze the collected data. The major findings are summarized as follows: 1.Elementary school students and teachers generally hold a positive attitude toward these teaching pedagogies. 2.The demographic variables of gender, extracurricular English learning experience and different length of prior English learning yield an effect on different students’ beliefs. 3.Elementary school students and teachers generally hold a positive attitude concerning Grammar Instruction; moreover, the teachers have more preference for inductive teaching. 4.Elementary school students and teachers generally hold a positive attitude concerning Error Correction; moreover, the students expect teachers to deal with their errors immediately, but their teachers tend to neglect error correction at times. 5.Elementary school students and teachers generally hold a positive attitude concerning Communicative Language Teaching; however, the students seem more hesitant to participate in group interactions in class. 6.Elementary school students and teachers generally hold a positive attitude concerning Multiple Assessments. Furthermore, the students appear to find more value in traditional paper- and- pencil tests than their teachers do. Finally, based on the findings in this study, several suggestions and implications were presented in the conclusion of the paper.

由外語學習歷程與信念探討職前華語文教師之教學信念 / A case study on pre-service TCSL teachers’ teaching beliefs: from being a foreign language learner to a TCSL teacher

邵佩欣, Siaw, Pey Shin Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在了解職前華語文教師學習外語的歷程、語言學習信念與教學信念,屬質性個案研究。對象為華語文教學研究所四位台籍研究生,聚焦於外語學習歷程、外語學習信念、外語教學信念三大主軸,以深度訪談作為資料收集方法。訪談內容及範圍主要參考了Horwitz(1985)語言學習信念研究的BALLI 模式以及Johnson(1992)與張碧玲(2000)設計的語言教師教學信念問卷。研究發現包括:(一)不同時期的外語學習經歷對個案職前教師的學習及教學信念起了「學徒式的觀察」、信念的轉變及「濾鏡」等作用。(二)透過對個案的學習及教學信念探討,可以看到信念具有多層次的特質。而其中較整體面向的信念與較個別層次的信念,呈現了相互支持、矛盾等關係。(三)教學信念隨著背後所隱藏的動機不同,不能以因果關係作解釋。(四)個案教師基於不同的學習經歷、學習信念及教學信念,在教學上建構了與社會文化情境相關,同時也具有個人意義的教學理論。最後建議華語文師資教育應提供機會讓職前教師了解自我語言學習及教學信念,以及更多教學實務的機會,以讓他們在教學行動中反思,也在反思中進行教學。華語文教師本身亦可以利用自我的外語學習經驗作為反思的工具,時時保持成長的動機與內省的能力。此外,華語文教師也應對教學現場及環境文化等因素有所知覺,這樣才能促進有效的教學。 / This qualitative case study aims to understand the TCSL ( Teaching Chinese as a Second language ) pre-service teachers’ foreign language learning experience, language learning beliefs, and teaching beliefs. The participants are four Taiwanese postgraduate students from the department of TCSL in a university in northern Taiwan. The study focus on three aspects: foreign language learning experience, language learning beliefs, and teaching beliefs. In-depth interviews are conducted as the data collection method, informed by Horwitz’s (1985) BALLI model as well as Johnson (1992) and Zhang (2000). The findings include that (1) the four pre-service TCSL teachers’ foreign language learning experiences, serving as a filter, afford “apprenticeship of observation” which leads to changes in beliefs, and (2)beliefs are multilayered, involving both supportive and contradictory relationships. (3) Teaching beliefs are not necessarily consistent with each other because of different intentions lying behind. It is difficult to regard them as having a simple cause-and-effect relation. (4) Based on different learning experiences, learning and teaching beliefs, the four pre-service teachers construct their own personal theories toward teaching, which are not only socially relevant but also personally meaningful. Finally, the study suggests that language teacher education needs to provide sufficient opportunities for pre-service teachers to understand their own learning and teaching beliefs. It is also necessary to provide opportunities to engage them in authentic teaching contexts so that they could reflect on their teaching beliefs in real-world pratice. TCSL teachers need to be encouraged to use their own learning experiences as a reflective tool to sustain their passions for teaching.

華語文學習信念轉變與歷程:在台歐美外籍生之個案研究 / Chinese Language Learner’s Changing Beliefs and Experiences: Case Study on European and American Students in Taiwan

白玉琪, Peh, Giok Kee Unknown Date (has links)
本質性個案研究旨在從三位歐美外籍留學生的視角了解他們的華語文學習信念,探討他們在台灣留學期間所處的社會文化環境如何改變他們的語言學習信念,以及台灣作為華語文環境所能提供的機會與挑戰。本研究主要透過深入訪談(In-depth Interview),邀請三位來台留學半年至一年的歐美華語文學生敘述自身語言學習歷程,包括他們的個人華語文學習背景、來台緣由與期待、在台華語文學習歷程及信念。歷時半年四次的定期訪談均被錄音,經謄錄為逐字稿、重現(reconstruct)個別故事樣貌後,再依Lieblich等人(1998)提出的敘事分析方法,以整體——內容(Holistic-content)和類別——內容(Categorical-content)之邏輯整理成個別個案,並作為後續跨個案分析的資料依據。結果發現,研究參與者從華語為外語(Chinese as Foreign Language)學習環境,到台灣華語文為第二語言(Chinese as Second Language)學習環境的不同學習階段裡,他們的華語文目標、期待和能力不斷地與社會環境互動,而互動所產生的結果足以鞏固或動搖其舊信念。來台前,研究參與者過往的語言學習經驗和成長環境對於外語學習的觀點,無形中都型塑了他們的華語文學習信念。來台後,他們經歷固有的信念和實際與母語者交際情況之間的落差,衝擊了他們原有的信念,而且覺得自身的華語文使用者身份及所付出的努力難以受當地母語者社交圈之認同。此外,研究參與者的留學經歷也反映出台灣作為華語文學習場域的一些情況,既當他們的華語文能力變強後,才有能力善用台灣華語文環境所提供的學習機會,當他們的華語文能力仍偏弱時,他們一般較難在非正式場域與母語者互動,或從中獲得學習機會,反而需依賴課堂環境為主的學習機會。最後,由於信念會隨著學習歷程波動及變化,面向多元,具動態特質,因此本研究建議未來可選擇某一項議題做更深入的研究,若採取類似BALLI研究信念橫斷面的工具時,還可加入情景及情感面向,探討信念歷時的直斷面。在教學運用上,華語文中心能著手處理外籍華語文學生的行前準備資料,加強對留學生有關語言學習進程的輔導,在師資培訓上也應該注意如何處理初出國留學生在語言學習適應上的調整,以減少留學生因學習期待落差而受到的衝擊。另外也建議常與學習者接觸的當地母語者接受跨文化交際的教育,雙方才能創造合宜的華語文學習環境,促進外籍留學生赴台學習華語文之發展與成效。 / This qualitative case study aims to look into Chinese language learning beliefs from the perspective of three Chinese learners from Europe and America and to explore how the Taiwanese social-cultural environment changes their language learning beliefs, as well as the affordance and challenge Taiwan offers to these international Chinese learners. Three students from Europe and America who have been learning Chinese in Taiwan from six to twelve months respectively are invited to the study and receive four in-depth interviews within six month. Their personal Chinese language learning experiences over the time are narrated and recorded. The data is then analyzed using Holistic-Content and Categorical-Content method proposed by Lieblich et al., (1998). The results shows that, at different learning stages, the interaction of the participants’ Chinese language goals, expectation and proficiency levels with social environment either reaffirms or shakes their beliefs. Before studying in Taiwan, the past language learning experiences as well as the prevailing view of their native community towards foreign language basically constitutes the beliefs of the participants. At the early stage of studying in Taiwan, the gap between their expectations and the actual communication experiences with local native speakers also has critical impacts on their beliefs. The participants would also find that their efforts to make themselves live as Chinese speakers are constantly challenged by the local native community. In this case, Taiwan and its social community as the field for learning Chinese actually provide more opportunities to the learners with higher Chinese proficiency. When proficiency is low, such as at the beginning stages of Chinese proficiency or upon arrival, the participants have great difficulty getting benefits from the target language community; their learning mainly happens in the language learning classroom. It is clear that language learning beliefs is dynamic, multifaceted, and fluctuate from time to time. The study suggests that, specific topic under the multilayered nature of belief should be focused in the future research. Social environments and emotions of students should also be included in BALLI. Finally, to promote the development and effectiveness of foreign students studying in Taiwan, stronger pre-departure briefing, orientation and counseling services are needed to facilitate language development. Teachers also need training on how to reduce the impact of crashed expectations of new foreign students. In addition, local people (i.e., native speakers) who often come into contact with the learners are recommended to develop intercultural communication skills in order to provide the learners with the best possible informal communication experience.

日籍學生在台接受全英文授課之學習歷程與其信念之變化:個案研究 / Japanese Student's Language Learning Experience and Transformation of Beliefs in ETP Programs in Taiwan:A Case Study

蔡正文 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在了解日本學生的語言學習信念變化,並找出哪些因素在台灣和日本的TESOL環境中影響學生的學習信念的形成和變化。不同於傳統基於問卷的調查,只針對某些固定的學生的學習信念特徵的研究,最近的研究更注重學習信念的動態變化過程。社會文化理論還強調,社會文化環境在學生的思考過程中具有中介的效果。本研究旨在了解日本學生的學習信念是如何受他們的學習經驗影響,而這些經驗在不同的環境如何影響他們的學習信念。本研究使用深度訪談收集資料,採用半結構式訪談每個月針對學生的學習經歷和信念進行一學期五次的資料蒐集。通過Liblich(1998)的方法整理出訪談資料的整體與分類的內容,本研究希望找出在台灣和日本學習語言的意識形態的不同,這些差異和參與者的語言學習信念之關係,以及在台灣的日本學生面臨何種語言學習機會和挑戰。 這項研究的結果是,三位參與者經歷了不同程度的語言學習信念轉變,同時形成新的學習信念。來台灣之前,參與者對於自己的英文能力的自信心高低不一,但他們都相信能夠透過海外留學加強英文能力。在台灣,由台灣以及西方學生所組成的團體使參與者能夠練習英文並表達自己的意見,無須擔心被批評。ETP課程給他們一個機會可以使用英文來學習並溝通。來到台灣一年後,Yoshi對英文能力變得較有自信,且相信策略運用比天生能力來的重要。Taka變得較不在意自己的發音且把注意力放在文化學習上。Ko了解自己天生語言學習能力的極限並開始發展自己的學習策略。在研究建議方面,當未來的研究採用BALLI(Belief About Language Learning Inventory)(Horwitz,1999)分析時也應將親密團體和社會文化等因素加入。在英語教育方面,台灣的大學英語培訓課程應該包括更多的跨文化差異教學,所以當國際學生參加一般ETP(English taught program)時他們將面臨較少的文化衝擊。由於參與者提到與台灣和國際學生的非正式交流對她們的英語學習大有幫助,在ETP課程中教授應考量國際學生的英語水平,並把他們分配在具有相應英語水平的小組中,使他們能夠更快克服學習困難。期望這項研究的結果提供語言教學方法的調整建議,以滿足國際學生,特別是日本學生的需求。 / This study was aimed to understand the language learning belief change of Japanese students, and to find out what are the factors in the TESOL environments of Taiwan and Japan that lead to these changes. Unlike the traditional questionnaire-based research, which studied student’s learning belief based on certain critical characteristics; recent studies focused more on the changing process of language learning belief. Socio-cultural theories also stressed that the socio-cultural environment has meditational effects on the student’s thinking process (Furberg, 2009). This study tried to understand how Japanese student’s English learning belief was affected by their learning experiences and how these experiences in the different environments affected their learning belief reciprocally. This study adopted in-depth interviews to collect data, using semi-structured interviews per month for six months to discover how Japanese students’ learning experiences and belief changed in the process. By analyzing the interview data using the holistic-content method proposed by Liblich et al (1998), this study focused on how different language learning ideologies in Taiwan and Japan affected the participants’ learning belief, what opportunities and challenges the Japanese students faced in Taiwan in terms of language learning. Based on the result of this study, the three participants experienced different degrees of language learning belief changes and formed new learning beliefs in the process. Before they came to Taiwan, the participants had different levels of self-confidence and all believed that they could improve their English proficiency by studying abroad. In Taiwan, the supportive community formed by Taiwanese and Western students allowed the participants to practice English and express their ideas without being afraid of getting judged. The ETP (English Taught Program) offered them an opportunity to use English to both study and communicate on a daily basis. After one year of staying in Taiwan, Yoshi became more confident in his English proficiency and believed more in strategy use than innate language learning ability. Taka was less anxious about his Japanese accent and put more emphasis on learning cultural factors. Ko realized the limitation of his innate language learning ability and began to develop his own language learning strategies. As for theoretical implication, factors like community and socio-cultural influence should be added to BALLI’s (Belief About Language Learning Inventory)(Horwitz,1999) model in analyzing language learning belief in future studies. In terms of pedagogical implication, English training programs in Taiwan’s university should provide more cross-cultural information so that when international students take English taught classes they will encounter less cultural shock. As the participants mentioned that the informal interaction with Taiwanese and Western students assisted their English learning, professors in the ETP classes should consider international students’ English proficiency and put them within groups of appropriate English levels so they can learn with less difficulty.
