論文提要內容：由於電腦科技的進步，多媒體光碟課體已應用在外語的學習；這種全新的媒體會不會直接或間接影響閱讀策略之使用，及閱讀理解之能力？是本研究所關心並感興趣的主題。 這個研究主要是觀察六十位以英語為外語學習目標的學生，他們在閱讀電腦光碟及閱讀書面時，如何使用閱讀策略？研究的方法包括出聲思考及實驗比較兩種方式。結果發現，使用資源型(resourcing)閱讀策略比傳統閱讀策略(local-meaning-getting, global-meaning-getting, monitoring/ regulatory reading strategies)來得多；但書面閱讀的閱讀理解能力表現卻比多媒體閱讀來得好。 所以，語言學習者不應該太仰賴那些不須自己花太多功夫，隨手可得的線上資源型閱讀策略；然而多媒體閱讀課體仍可以提供讀者很多相關背景知識來輔助他們閱讀。因此閱讀策略的教學應該列入語言教師的教學計畫裏，傳統閱讀策略的使用應該在閱讀中被視為一個很重要而且根本的元素，資源型閱讀策略是無法取代它們的。 透過這個研究，我們希望提供一些實證資料及有用的建議給語言學習者，讓他們利用電腦科技來成功地學習語言。 / Due to the advancement of computer technology, multimedia CD-ROM courseware is applied to foreign language learning. Will this brand-new media directly bring about an impact on reading strategies and indirectly make a contribution to reading comprehension? This is the main concern and interest of the study. The study investigated how 60 EFL students used reading strategies in CD-ROM and in printed context. The research methods included think-aloud protocol and experimental comparison approach. It was found that resourcing strategies are used more than the traditional reading strategies, that is, local-meaning-getting, gtobal-meaning-getting, and monitoring/ regulatory strategies. However, the reading comprehension performance in paper reading is better than that in multimedia reading. Thus, language. learners should be taught not to refer to on-line resourcing strategies too much without exercising efforts themselves, but they can take much background knowledge from reading courseware to facilitate their reading. The instruction of reading strategies should be included in the teaching programs of language teachers. Traditional reading strategies ought to be regarded as a fundamental element in reading and can not be replaced by resourcing strategies. Through this study, it is hoped that learning language with computer technology can bring a success to language learners by providing empirical data and useful suggestions.
