國中學生接受聽力策略訓練後聽力策略發展之研究 / An Investigation of Junior High School Students' Listening Strategies Development after Explicit Listening Instruction

馮羽欣 Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討國中學生在接受為期十二周的聽力策略訓練(LSI)之後,其後設認知、認知、社會情感策略的使用和發展以及了解國中學生聽力策略學習的過程。研究對象為36名北部國中七年級學生。其中,後設認知策略和認知策略將在課堂上明確的(explicitly)教導;而社會情感策略則是暗示的(implicitly)教導。從反思日記中所收集的資料以質化和量化的方式分析。量化資料以SPSS 11.5 來做描述統計分析;而質化資料則以逐字稿打出並由研究者和另一名英文老師來做分析與歸類的工作。 研究結果顯示後設認知策略和社會情感策略的使用減少,而認知策略的使用增加。此外能力高低與策略使用的次數並沒有絕對的對應。另外,學生可以在策略訓練的過程中發展出自己的策略。最後,策略的使用十分的個人化與複雜。根據研究發現,本研究提出三點對於國中英文聽力教學上的建議。第一,聽力策略訓練可以與國中英文課程做結合。第二,教導學生聽力策略的同時,應要求學生寫反思日記。最後,不應強迫學生在聽力策略上的使用方式,因為聽力策略的使用個別性很高。

A Case Study on the Effects of Applying Authentic Materials as Listening Comprehension Supplements for Senior High School Students / 使用真實語料做為高中生英語聽力輔助教材成效之個案研究

林宜如, Yi-ju Lin Unknown Date (has links)
國立政治大學英國語文學系在職碩士班 碩士論文提要 論文名稱:使用真實語料做為高中生英語聽力輔助教材之個案研究 指導教授:彭欽清 研究生:林宜如 論文提要內容: 本研究旨在分析探討以廣播真實語料 (authentic broadcast materials) 做為台灣高中生英語聽力輔助教材之可能性,並兼論不同題型設計 (task types) 對不同程度學生聽力表現上的影響,以期能夠提供高中英語教師在英聽教學教材上的另一選擇及英聽測驗的方針。 實驗對象為41位高一學生。學生在學期初以全民英檢聽力測驗結果分為高、中、低三種程度,並接受為期十週的廣播英聽訓練。實驗過程中搭配以不同測驗題型來協助並檢視學生英聽理解力。學期結束前再以同樣之英檢試題做為後測。 本研究採用質與量的分析方法。質的分析涵蓋:(一)實驗對象的英文學習背景;(二)學生英聽困難的分析;(三)學生對選材及不同題型的看法。量的分析則以SPSS統計法,包括(一)前後測統計數值的差異;(二)取材(text types)與後測英聽成效的關係;(三)題型(task types)與後測英聽成效的關係。 研究結果發現:受試者在收聽廣播真實語料上最大的困難在於速度及連音。但經過廣播真實語料的英聽訓練後,高程度組不但在後測表現上有明顯進步,且較習慣於外國人的速度及連音,並能接受更長篇的真實語料。至於題型設計對英聽成效影響不大,但是,從學生問卷發現,高程度者認為克漏字題型較有助於英聽訓練,而中、低程度者則都認為選擇題較有助於英聽訓練。最後,本研究提出一些英語聽力教學上的建議:(一)教學初期只要求學生達到重要但簡單的基本目標;(二)教導學生分辨中英文語言的差異以及口說與書寫英文的不同特性;(三)設計多樣化的題型。最後,希望本研究能對台灣的高中英語聽力教學有所助益。 / ABSTRACT This study aims chiefly at the feasibility of using authentic English broadcast programs as supplementary materials in listening comprehension training for EFL senior high school students. It also discusses the effect of different task types on different proficiency levels in English listening comprehension performance, in the hope that the research would provide other alternative of supplementary listening materials and test designs as a reference for senior high school teachers. The research is conducted among 41first-year senior high school students. In the beginning of the first semester in fall, 2002, the subjects were divided into three proficiency levels (high, middle and low) according to the results of their performance on the GEPT listening comprehension as a pretest. Then they were given a ten-week authentic English broadcast listening training. During the course of training, different task types were provided to evaluate students’ listening proficiency and to help them to the focus of the test. At the end of the semester, the same GEPT listening task was administered as a posttest. The research adopts both qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Qualitative analyses consist of (1) the subjects’ English learning background, (2) the English listening comprehension difficulties encountered by the subjects, and (3) students’ views on different test and task types. By using SPSS, the quantitative analyses incorporate (1) the difference of statistical values between the pretest and posttest, (2) the correlation between text types and proficiency performance on the posttest, and (3) the correlation between task types and proficiency performance on the posttest. The research has found out that in listening to authentic English broadcast, the major difficulties encountered by the subjects are speed and linkage. Nevertheless, after the ten-week systematic training, the high-achievers are found to have improved obviously in their posttest performance. Little by little the subjects, especially the high-achievers, are not only adapted to the speed and linkage in authentic speech but also used to longer utterance by native speakers. Furthermore, it is also found in the research that the task types have little effect on the subjects’ listening performance. However, from the analysis of the subjects’ feedback questionnaire, the research has found that high-proficiency students reveal that cloze test types are helpful for the training of listening comprehension, while the middle- and low-achievers prefer the multiple choices. It is suggested that in teaching English listening comprehension teachers should (1) start with requiring students to achieve the basic goals the teacher considers essential in comprehension certain types of tasks, (2) teach students to differentiate the features between English and Chinese as well as those between spoken English and written English, and (3) design diverged types of tasks for students to practice listening skills. It is hoped that this research would make some contribution to English listening comprehension teaching in senior high schools in Taiwan.

全民英檢聽力測驗題型對國中生聽力策略選擇影響之研究 / A study of effects of question types on junior high students' listening strategy choice while taking GEPT listening test

何佩融, Ho, Pei Jung Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在比較國中學生在全民英檢聽力測驗中不同聽力題型之測驗結果,並探究聽力題型是否造成學生聽力策略選擇之差異。 本研究對象為宜蘭一所公立國中八年級六個班級共177位學生。研究工具為全民英檢初級聽力測驗以及聽力策略問卷。問卷內容以Vandergrift(1997)的聽力策略分類為架構,改編自蘇曉雯(2007)自編問卷。問卷回收後資料以統計軟體SPSS 17.0進行敘述性統計、單因子變異數分析及雙因子變異數分析,獲得結果簡述如下: 1.國中學生在全民英檢聽力測驗四種題型中的聽力表現有所差異。四種題型的不同因素包括了聽力內容中參與談話者的人數、聽力內容所包含的難字以及測驗題型是否提供圖片輔助。 2.整體來說,在聽力測驗作答時,國中學生較常使用後設認知策略。例如:理解監測(monitoring),選擇性專注(selective attention)和前導組織(advance organizers)。然而,若細究不同的聽力題型,學生則較常使用不同認知策略。例如:當遇到較長的聽力內容,學生較常使用摘要(summarization)策略。而遇到較難的聽力內容,學生則慣用由下自上(bottom-up)策略。 3.綜觀不同語言能力之學生在不同題型中使用聽力策略的差異,本研究發現學生之語言能力與題型對聽力策略使用上並無交互作用。整體而言,高低成就學生 在四種不同題型中使用相似的聽力策略。然而,若細究各項不同聽力策略的使用頻率,則高低成就者中所慣用的聽力策略有所不同。 根據統計及問卷調查結果,本研究最後提供教學上相關建議以供參考。第一,教師可協助學生分析試題題型,以幫助作答。第二,教師應提供學生不同類型之聽力練習,讓學生嘗試使用不同聽力策略。第三,教師可請高成就學生分享聽力理解過程,以幫助低成就學生能有更好的聽力表現。 / The major purpose of the study is to examine whether question types influence junior high students’ listening performance and their listening strategy choice. The study is mainly concerned with three aspects: (1) whether students performed differently among the four different question types of GEPT listening section; (2) what kind of strategies did junior high students tend to use in the four types of questions; (3) whether proficiency level played a significant role in listening strategy choice among four question types. GEPT elementary level of listening comprehension test and a questionnaire were used to collect quantitative data from 177 students in one public junior high school in Yilan Area. The items in the questionnaire were mainly adapted from Su (2007), which followed Vandergrift’s (1997) classification of strategy use. In this study, statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA with Scheffe post- hoc test and two-way ANOVA were used to analyze the collected data. The major findings are summarized as follows: 1.Junior high students performed differently in the four different types of listening questions. Factors that differentiate the four question types include the number of speaker, the content itself and the presence of pictures. 2.Generally speaking, junior high students tended to use metacognitive strategies, such as monitoring, selective attention and advance organizers more often in different question types. However, in specific question types, students appeared to have preference in using certain cognitive strategies. For example, students were inclined to use summarization when encountering question type with longer listening text. They also tended to use bottom-up strategies to tackle with more difficulty text. 3.There was no significant interaction effect between question types and proficiency level. Overall on the four question types, students with high and low levels used same strategies. However, when examining strategy items specifically, high and low achievers had different preference for using strategy in different question types. Finally, based on the findings in this study, several suggestions and implications were presented in the conclusion of the paper. First, teachers could help students analyze question types before listening test. Second, teachers could give students more kinds of listening activities to make students experience the effectiveness of using different kinds of listening strategies. Third, teachers could invite high level listeners to share their listening process so that low level listeners might learn from them.

本研究旨在探討高中生實施聽力策略教學的成效。受試者為兩班高中三年級 學生,分成兩個階段,第一階段分析現階段高中生使用聽力策略的現況,第二階 段是針對受試者不常用的聽力策略,選擇四個進行聽力策略教學,探討其聽力成 績進步情形,聽力策略使用進步情況,及聽力自主改進情況。 本研究歷時23 週,受試者分成實驗組,對照組各一班,對照組只做聽力練 習,而實驗組除了相同的聽力練習之外,又同時給與聽力策略教學。資料收集包 括了前後測的中級英檢聽力成績,聽力策略問卷,聽力自主學習問卷與訪談。資 料分析結果如下: 1. 受試者聽力策略運用有達中等標準,顯示高中生在進行聽力測驗時,運用 一些聽力策略,而且認知策略最多,情意策略最少。 2. 在教完聽力策略後,聽力成績雖未達顯著差異,但實驗組明顯地進步多於 對照組,顯示聽力策略教學能提升高中生的聽力。 3. 在教完聽力策略後,四個所教的聽力策略在不同的解釋上都有顯著差異, 而且,實驗組在認知策略與情意策略都有顯著進步。 4. 在教完聽力策略後,受試者不管在動機,自信心,或自動學習上都有顯著 進步。 5. 大多數受試者在問卷或訪談中,對聽力策略教學都持肯定的態度。 本研究證明聽力策略教學能融入高中英語課堂活動中,且成功地改善了學生 的聽力,聽力策略,與聽力自主學習,希望對台灣的聽力教學有所貢獻。 / The present study is aimed at investigating the effects of listening strategy instruction. Two classes of 12th-grade senior high school students participated in this study as the experimental and control groups. There are two stages in this study. In the first stage, the participants’ use of listening strategies was analyzed. In the second stage, the participants were taught the four least frequently used listening strategies and then the effects of listening strategy instruction were discussed in three ways: listening proficiency progress, listening strategy improvement and the betterment of listening autonomy. This study lasted for 23 weeks. The students in the control group had the listening activities in the textbook as usual. However, besides the same listening materials and activities, students in the experimental group received explicit listening strategy instruction. The data collected in this study include the grades in the intermediate GEPT listening tests, listening strategy and autonomy questionnaires. Based on the data, the major findings are as follows. First, the participants in this study used listening strategies with medium frequency, meaning senior high school students did employ some listening strategies while listening. They used cognitive strategies most frequently and affective strategies the least. Second, after the listening strategy instruction, they did not make significant progress in their listening test scores. However, the students in the experimental group made more progress than those in the control group, showing the strategy instruction did help promote their listening proficiency. Third, the four listening strategies chosen to be taught all improved significantly in different ways. Among the three categories, cognitive and affective strategies use increased and reached significant levels. Fourth, after the instruction, participants made significant progress in motivation, self-confidence and independent activities. Fifth, the majority of the participants had positive attitudes towards listening strategy instruction based on the results in the questionnaire and interview. This study demonstrated that listening strategy instruction could be integrated into the classroom activities and successfully improved senior high school students’ listening proficiency, listening strategies and autonomy. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the listening instruction in Taiwan.

合作學習教學模式下探討聽力焦慮降低及聽力能力提升 / Exploring the Reduction of Listening Anxiety and Promotion of Listening Comprehension Ability under the Teaching Mode of Cooperative Learning

陳俊呂, Chen, Chun Lu Unknown Date (has links)
本研究的目的在於探究合作學習的教學模式對於國民中學的學生在降低英語聽力焦慮和提升聽力能力雙方面上是否有效。本研究的研究對象是54位來自台灣北部地區的一所國民中學的學生,學生來自於經S型分班後同質性的2個普通班,2個班分別設定為對照組和實驗組,兩組在數量、性別、背景、聽力焦慮及聽力能力起始程度上皆相似。對照組施以傳統英語聽力教學模式:學生聽寫,教師給答案並講解的方式施教;實驗組則施以合作學習英語聽力教學模式:同學聽完練習後,交互討論練習答案的方式來學習。師生利用每週四堂英語課的前15分鐘來進行英語聽力合作學習,經過了約12週的教學後,兩組皆接受聽力焦慮量表的後測,及南一書局出版的聽力測驗。量表及測驗皆以獨立樣本t檢定來進行統計分析,研究結果顯示:實驗組和對照組相較之下,聽力焦慮降低的程度達到顯著差異;而聽力能力的部分,雖然實驗組比對照組在測驗分數上有進步,但進步幅度有限,未能達到顯著差異。除此之外,訪談問卷中的質性資料亦支持了量化結果。本研究冀希成為對於有意利用合作學習教學模式來教聽力的老師,在降低聽力焦慮和提升聽力能力上,一個教學上的參考。最後,研究者根據實驗的過程及結果,對未來合作學習或是聽力教學的研究,提出需要避免的情形及一些可進行的研究方向。 / This study is mainly to explore if the mode of cooperative learning can reduce junior high school students’ listening anxiety and promote their listening comprehension ability. The participants in this study were junior high school students from northern Taiwan. They were chosen from two homogeneous classes formulated by the normal s-style distribution. Two classes, decided as the control group and the experimental group, were the same in number, gender, background, listening anxiety as well as the listening comprehension ability. The control group was treated with the traditional mode of teaching listening: Students listened and wrote down their answers; the teacher gave answers and explanations. The experimental group was treated with the mode of cooperative learning: After students finished their listening practices, they exchanged notes and discussed answers by themselves. The initial fifteen minutes in every English class were employed to process the learning of cooperative learning four times a week. After twelve weeks, students in the two groups took the post-test of Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale and the listening comprehension test issued by Nan I Book Enterprise. Both instruments were measured by an independent-samples t-test. The result showed that the significant differences were attained in the listening anxiety. Nevertheless, the significant differences were not attained in the listening comprehension ability though the average score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Besides, the qualitative data from the questionnaire also sustain the quantitative results. Hopefully, this study can serve as a reference for those teachers who would like to teach English listening comprehension by the mode of cooperative learning. Eventually, the researcher provided some directions to follow and some awkward situations to avoid for future studies based on the experimental process and results in this study.

以學生與教師觀點探討台灣國中生英語聽力困難之研究 / A study of junior high school students' problems in english listening comprehension from students' and teachers' perspectives

莊孟淳, Chuang, Mong-chun Unknown Date (has links)
本論文旨在探討臺灣國中生英語聽力的困難問題。本文從三個方面進行研究:一、國中生英語聽力困難問題的總體分析;二、高能力者與低能力者在聽力困難問題上的異同;三、從老師和學生的觀點研究國中生的英語聽力困難問題。研究對象包括桃園一所公立中學9年級11個班級中366個學生及17位英語老師。本研究工具為全民英檢聽力測驗,聽力困難問卷以及聽力困難訪談大綱。本研究的主要發現如下: 一、在五種影響聽力困難的因素中,學生認為最常見的因素為聽力文本,聽者本身為其次,接著依序為聽力任務、說話者因素,最後為聽力過程。在文本因素中,聽力困難主要來自於不熟悉的片語。在聽者因素中,聽者本身文法知識的不足是聽力困難最主要的原因。在聽力任務中,聽完後需要學生做聽寫是比較困難的。在說話者因素中,說話者速度是主要的聽力理解障礙。在聽力的過程中,學生最常遇到的問題在於無法將一連串的內容分成有意義的段落。調查問卷的44個分項中,學生認為他們所遇到的最常見英語聽力困難中文本因素佔大多數,而聽者因素其次,最常見的困難為不熟悉的片語,其次為不熟悉的單字與文法的不足。 二、高能力者與低能力者遇到的聽力困難有顯著性的差異。大致上的區別為,影響高能力者聽力的最主要因素為聽力文本,而影響低能力者的主因為聽者本身的因素,且高能力者遇到的聽力困難比低能力者顯著來得少。最常見英語聽力困難中,高程度者認為在文本方面無法重複聽為最大的困難,然而對低程度者而言,聽者本身的文法不足是導致聽力困難最主要的原因。三、以教師與學生觀點來說,兩者對學習者所遇到的聽力困難的認知有顯著性的差異。大致上的區別為,教師認為造成學生聽力困難的主因為聽者本身的因素,而學生認為文本因素為影響聽力困難的最主要障礙。最常見英語聽力困難中,教師認為說話者的語速為主要困難,然而學生認為文本中不熟悉的片語是導致聽力困難最主要的原因。最後,本論文指出研究限制以及對未來相關研究之建議提出說明。 / The purpose of the present study is to investigate junior high school students' listening comprehension difficulties. This study is mainly concerned with three aspects: (1) the overall difficulties that student encountered in junior high school; (2) the similarities and differences in listening difficulties between high achievers and low achievers; (3) the differences in the perspectives on students' listening problems between students and teachers. This thesis research was based on the data analysis of 366 ninth-graders from 11 odd-numbered class and 17 English teachers at a public junior high school in Taoyuan. The findings of the study were summarized as follows: (1) among five factors, the text factor held the highest frequency followed by the listener, task, speaker, and listening process. For text factor, the main difficulty emerged from unknown phrases and unknown words. For listener factor, weak grammar was identified as the foremost difficulty. For task factor, the task demanding dictation arose most difficulty. For speaker factor, the speech rate was the main obstacle. For listening process, the students suffered from the perception problem that they could not chunk streams of speech into meaningful segments. Among listeners’ top ten difficulties in taking a listening comprehension test, six of them were categorized into text factor, and five were classified into listener factor. (2) There were highly significant differences in listening difficulties between the effective and the ineffective listeners. The difficulties the effective listeners met with were fewer than those ineffective listeners encountered. The effective listeners in this study met with listening comprehension problems in text factor more frequently than the other factors; however, the ineffective listeners encountered difficulties in listener factor most often. Among the top ten listening difficulties, the foremost difficulty for the effective listeners was unrepeated materials, and for the ineffective ones was weak grammar. (3) Overall, the teachers’ perceptions about their students’ listening difficulties are significantly different from the students’. Specifically, there were significant differences in the perspectives between the teachers and the students in the factor of listening process and listener. The teachers reported that their students encountered listening difficulties in the listener factor most often, whereas the students indicated that the text factor was the hugest barrier to their listening. Among the top ten students’ listening comprehension problems, the individual difficulty with the highest mean acquired by all of the students was the text with unknown phrases (text factor) However, the foremost listening problem from the teachers’ perspectives was the fast speed rate of the speaker (speaker factor). Based on the findings of the present study, pedagogical implications and suggestions were provided at the end of the thesis.

影片標註聽力複習機制對於英語聽力理解的影響研究 / The Effects of Video-Annotated Listening Review Mechanism on Listening Comprehension

陳怡君, Chen, I Chun Unknown Date (has links)
近年來英語教學特別重視聽力對於英語學習的重要性,然而臺灣的英語教育仍以播放CD為最廣泛使用的英語聽力練習方法,無法因應個別學習者聽力上的個別差異需求,進行重聽段落的自我調整。隨著科技的進步,電腦輔助語言學習已成為發展趨勢,本研究發展一影片標註聽力複習機制(Video-Annotated Listening Review Mechanism, VALRM),可輔助學習者依據自己的學習需求,進行英語聽力重聽段落的標註與重聽。為了驗證此一機制對於提升英語聽力的成效,本研究比較使用VALRM以及利用Youtube進行自主聽力複習機制(Self-Determined Learning Review Mechanism, SDLRM)的學習者,在英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度,以及認知負荷是否具有顯著差異。此外,也進一步比較不同英語起始能力學習者,以及不同學習風格學習者(場地獨立型與場地依賴型),分別採用VALRM及SDLRM在英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度,以及認知負荷上是否具有顯著的差異。 研究結果發現,使用VALRM的學習者,其聽力理解成效顯著優於使用SDLRM的學習者。此外,使用VALRM的學習者,其學習滿意度與科技接受度高於使用SDLRM的學習者;認知負荷度則低於使用SDLRM的學習者。最後,採用VALRM及SDLRM之不同英語起始能力學習者,以及不同學習風格學習者的英語聽力理解成效、學習滿意度、科技接受度,以及認知負荷度不具有顯著差異。研究結果顯示,學習者使用VALRM輔以英語聽力學習,能有效提昇學習者的英語聽力理解表現。

再探做筆記對英語非母語學生的學術聽力效益 / Re-visiting the Efficacy of Note-taking in Academic Listening for L2 students

王彤心, Wang, Tung Hsin Unknown Date (has links)
許多ESL及L1學生認為做筆記是有利於學術聽力的策略。本研究的目的在於重新檢視有否做筆記對於英語非母語的學習者在學術聽力理解以及回憶上的影響。此外,本研究也比較程度高與程度低學習者所做之筆記,並調查個人對於做筆記的信念及習慣。 本研究一共有225位大一學生參與從TOEFL-IPT之中所篩選出的學術演講聽力測驗。過程中,學生依個人習慣決定是否記下筆記。於聽力測驗結束後,隨即讓有寫筆記的學生填答回溯問卷。於一星期後, 所有做筆記及不做筆記學生在沒有複習機會的情況下,進行回憶測驗。所有學生也填答關於做筆記之信念與習慣的問卷。 本研究的結果如下: 1)即使大多數學生對於做筆記皆認為有助其聽力理解,在本研究中,做筆記幾乎沒有發揮效益。2) 對於程度高的學生而言,做筆記並未對其聽力理解產生幫助。3) 對於程度低的學生而言,做筆記仍然沒有顯著的效益。4) 在記憶測試方面,做筆記與否似乎也沒有顯著差異。5)程度高的學生傾向於選擇寫下重要概念,程度低的學生傾向於隨意記下聽到的單字。 本研究根據以上五個方向所得結果,進一步提供相關建議,作為教育學者, 教師,以及學生們參考。 / Note-taking for ESL and L1 learners is widely recognized as one of the potentially beneficial academic listening strategies. The purpose of the present study was to re-examine the effect of note-taking for L2 learners in listening comprehension and retention on note-taking/non-note-taking conditions. Besides, the comparison between the notes from the high and low proficiency L2 learners was conducted. Some note-taking beliefs and habits from the L2 learners were also investigated. This study adopted a quantitative method, and the subjects were 225 freshmen in one university who took the listening comprehension test from the TOEFL-IPT lectures and took notes when they felt necessary. Following the lecture comprehension test, subjects who took notes were given a retrospective questionnaire. One week later, all subjects took a retention test which was derived directly from the lectures without review. After the retention test, all subjects were asked to complete a general perception questionnaire on note-taking. The major findings were summarized as follows: 1) Note-taking exerted little facilitative influence on comprehension performance even though most learners assumed the positive effect was there. 2) Note-taking did not help high proficiency subjects on comprehension of the TOEFL-IPT lecture listening. 3) Note-taking seemed to have limited merits for low proficiency subjects in comprehension. 4) No significant mean difference of the retention scores was found between note-taking and non note-taking group. 5) The high proficiency note takers were initiated to take notes by listening to discourse signals ahead of the upcoming of the main ideas, while the low proficiency note takers tended to jot down trivial words randomly. Finally, pedagogical implications and suggestions derived from previous discussions were presented mainly for teachers and learners.

四位台灣國中生之聽力策略個案研究 / A Case Study on Four Junior High School Students' Experiences in Developing EFL Listening Strategies

張立宛, Chang,Li Wan Unknown Date (has links)
本個案研究旨在探討實施聽力策略教學對四位台灣國中生的影響與衝擊。 不同於以往傳統認知取向的策略教學,本文採用維高斯基(Vygotsky)社會文化取向理論來分析學生的學習;相信策略教學與學習應該考量到學生與外界環境及人際間的互動,而非只探討教學本身的成效。因此本研究在個案對策略學習及自主學習的觀感和態度上多所著墨。文獻回顧內容則涵蓋聽力策略的理論及聽力策略教學實施情形及成效的研究。   本研究對象針對37位八年級的學生實施為期18週的聽力教學。但重心放在四位個案身上。研究方法採用質化的學生訪談及學生學習日記的分析輔以量化的聽力策略問卷。實施的步驟分為準備期、診斷期、教學期、練習期、及評估期。在教學開始前,學生們先通過全民英檢初級的聽力測試以評估其聽力能力並篩選個案。然後,實施聽力策略問卷調查以觀察學生平時使用的策略。之後,學生們接受六項聽力策略的教導,包含:猜測、分類、類推、記筆記、選擇性專注、及詢問。在教學實施期間,個案被要求寫學習日記,記錄對所學策略的感想及使用情形。學習日記及訪談是分析個案學習情形的主要資料。 第四章則著重於探討四位個案的家庭背景,學校表現,及對自主學習的態度和想法。目的是希望完整呈現四位個案不同的人格及學習特質,及之所以他們會如此學習的原因。第五章記錄了研究的兩樣重大發現: 1. 聽力能力較高的同學顯然比聽力較弱的學生更能夠有效率的交互使用「由上而下」 及「由下而上」的聽力策略。而聽力較弱的同學則傾向於過度依靠直接翻譯」策略。 2. 原本一向被傳統認知學習策略所忽略的情意方面的因素,反而似乎是影響學生策略學習的主因。這些情意方面的因素包括了:學生如何控制自己的脾氣,學習態度,及情緒。更重要的是,學生似乎都傾向於需要找到生命中的重要他人,並依靠這些較有能力的大人來提供他們踏出學習第一步時必要的安全感,知識,能力,方法及學習的動力。 因此,本研究的發現,回應了維高斯基的社會文化取向理論。唯有先透過人際間的互動與學習,才有可能回歸自我,反求諸己,達到內省與自發的境界。本研究希望能藉由教育現場的真實互動情形,喚醒策略學習及教學研究者對社會文化取向的學習理論,以及學生情意態度影響學習成效的重視。 / The purpose of this case study was to investigate four Taiwanese junior high school learners’ listening strategy use when receiving listening strategy instruction. Different from conventional quantitative SLA strategy studies, this present qualitative case study, adopting sociocultural perspectives, grounded on the conception that the issues of strategy learning should not be understood only in terms of direct instruction and its effectiveness. Instead, exploring the learning processes in which learners and the external environment are necessary. Therefore, this case study focused on the discussion of four learners’ attitude toward learning and their perspectives toward listening strategy instruction. The participants of this study were 37 students in a Taiwanese junior high school in the Taipei city. Yet, the focus was on four cases, Natalie, Tom, Jasmine and Jin Pin. Three major data collection instruments were adopted including the quantitative questionnaire, qualitative interviews and learning journals kept by the four cases. The instructional procedure was divided into five stages-- preparation, diagnosis, instruction, practice, and evaluation. A sample GEPT listening comprehension test was given to the students to pretest their proficiency in the diagnosis stage. Then the instruction on six listening strategies--guessing, grouping, inferencing, note-taking, selective attention, and asking for clarification was provided for 18 weeks. The Listening Comprehension Strategy Questionnaire based on Wang (2000) was conducted to identify the learners’ listening strategy use. Their learning journals were evaluated to explore their ongoing problems and perceptions toward learning the strategies. In Chapter Four, the profiles of the four cases were illustrated including their family background, school performance, and attitude toward learning autonomously to give a full picture of their learning habits. In Chapter Five, major findings are summarized. First, the case study echoed the previous finding that more skillful listeners seem to use both the ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ strategies more effectively while less skillful listeners rely too much on direct translation. Second, some salient issues previously not emphasized were found including learners’ affective concerns and their ability to control emotions, turned out to powerfully influence the learners’ learning. The learners needed to be assisted first by some adult surrogates and their significant others and to gain enough guidance, assurance, sense of security and control over the emotions before they can move on to self-regulated learning. If not, their learning tends to be subject to their own emotions, which are mostly controlled by the interaction between the learners and the external environment or the others. This finding consisted with the sociocultural perspective in that learning is a collaborative process between the learners and their social contexts. Only through interaction with others can learners achieve a new level of autonomy. To foster learner autonomy, strategy training needs to account for a more interactive view of learning. It also suggests that more efforts should be paid to explore the impact of learners’ affective and social concerns on their language learning toward autonomy.

陳慧珠, Chen, Hui-chu Unknown Date (has links)
本論文為一教學實驗之研究,探討如何運用以電腦科技為媒介設計創新的學習環境,激勵台灣技專院校英語低成就學生之學習動機,增進其英語聽力能力。本研究以英語歌曲作為提升學習興趣的動源,電腦輔助學習任務為提供好玩有趣學習過程的憑藉;如此,學生可由愉悅聽歌、趣味活動中實作學習並達成學習任務目標。本論文並探索英語歌曲聽力電腦輔助學習任務對學生聽力字彙與知覺能力之影響,並了解學生對教學設計之歌曲聽力學習任務之評估。由學生在全民英檢聽力、英語母音知覺測驗、及歌曲單字聽力各方面的成績進步,顯示本實驗教學能有效改善低成就學生英語字彙與聽力學。根據相關與變異數分析結果,對學習任務評估越滿意的學生英語歌曲單字聽力成績進步越大。因此,本研究所設計之英語歌曲聽力學習任務能激發學生運用電腦與相關軟體學習編輯聲音影片,來了解英語 聲音與意義的連結、訓練養成辨識斷句的知覺聽力。此教學設計融入聽力教學、任務型學習、電腦輔助學習;且以設計研究方法觀點記錄理論基礎探討、教學資源運用、英語聽力課程中歌曲時間排練及歌曲切割之投影片簡報、歌曲對嘴表演影片製作學習任務之設計執行,提供其他英語教師作為電腦輔助聽力學習活動設計之參考。 / This study is an instructional experiment on how an innovative learning environment is constructed to motivate and improve English learning of the low-achievers at Taiwanese polytechnic colleges. Thus, this research employs English popular songs as a motivator and computer-assisted task design as a mediator for the students to do listening and play with the song materials. This instructional design provides these students with concrete task experiential learning and the pursuit for goal-oriented success, along with joyful song listening and playful task activities. This research also investigates the effects of these song listening tasks on the improvement of listening vocabulary and perceptual skills of the participants as well as their appraisals toward the designed tasks: time-rehearsing, segmenting, and lip-syncing. The effects of these song listening tasks are consolidated from the participants’ improved listening test scores from the elementary GEPT Listening Test, the Perception of Spoken English Test, and the Target Lexical Listening Test, their enhanced learning motivation and involved task performance, and their affirmed appraisals about their task fondness and the task usefulness. Furthermore, this study documents the design, implementation, and evaluation of such a song listening task-based syllabus in a digital language lab, which demonstrates an integration of second language (L2) listening instruction, task-based learning and teaching (TBLT), and computer assisted language learning (CALL). The design-based research (DBR) perspectives are also adopted to explain the role of the computer-mediated context to the innovative task construction; in addition, the task features which facilitate listening skills development and stimulate learning experience are identified by the appraisal components of song fondness and easiness, task playfulness and easiness, and task usefulness. Thus, the designed listening tasks can be shared and applied to other similar learning contexts.
