本研究之目的在於評量中文與英文之「聲韻覺識」（phonological awareness）能力，以探討幼兒在不同英語教學法下的學習效果。「年齡」與「教學法」對「聲韻覺識」能力影響的差異。研究對象，為接受不同英語教學法的學前幼兒（大班生與中班生），一者採固定時間進行英語教學，定位英語為語言學習教材之一，稱之為M系統；一為採全時間教英語的機構，且定位英語為學習其他科目的媒介，稱之為W系統。測驗工具乃參酌胡潔芳教授提供之「聲韻覺識測驗」，經改編後共分八項分測驗--「中文音節刪除、英文音節刪除、中文音素刪除、英文音素刪除、中文音節替代、英文音節替代、中文音素替代與英文音素替代」。研究資料除了測驗成績之外，尚有教學現場之觀察資料，及兩系統之主管與教師之訪談文本，以了解不同英語教學法在教學內涵上之實質差異。 研究結果顯示，中文聲韻覺識能力，有「年齡」的差異，大班生表現優於中班生；「教學法」的差異，發生在中文「音素覺識」，M系統幼兒優於W系統。英文聲韻覺識能力，有「年齡」上的差異，大班生優於中班生，但無教學法上的差異。加測「注音符號」測驗，結果顯示有「年齡」與「教學法」上的差異，大班生比中班生好，M系統幼兒比W系統幼兒好，比較兩系統教學內涵的差異後，顯示M系統幼兒中文聲韻覺識能力表現較佳與「注音符號」教學有關；英文聲韻覺識能力無教學法上的差異，英文教學時間長短不影響聲韻覺識能力。研究結果似乎指出，真正影響中文與英文聲韻覺識能力發展的是年齡。 由於「聲韻覺識能力」的重要性，幼兒英語教學與學習，以培養「聲韻覺識」能力為出發點的教學內容應該要被參考，但基於年齡的限制，聲韻覺識教學，並不急於小班時期或中班初期開始。關於聲韻覺識的教學，文中另有討論。 關鍵詞：英語教學法，學前幼兒，聲韻覺識 / The purpose of this study is to investigate English learning effect of young children in Taiwan by means of examining the influence of age and English teaching approaches on young children’s phonological awareness in Chinese and in English. The participants consisted of the age of preschool (average five years old) and kindergarten (average six years old) children who are accepted different English language teaching approach in two schools. One school was called M school where young children were taught English partial time and English was one kind of language teaching materials. The other was called W school where young children were taught all time and learn everything in English. The results indicate that the age significantly affects on young children’s phonological awareness in Chinese and the teaching approach significantly affects on young children’s phonemic awareness in Chinese. The age significantly affects on young children’s phonological awareness in English. These results of this study seem to reveal that the main factor affecting on the development of young children’s phonological awareness in Chinese and in English is age. Due to the importance of phonological awareness, it should be to consider that English language teaching for young children could begin by training phonological awareness. However, based on the development of young children, it is not instant to train the capacity of phonological awareness in English language teaching. About the teaching of phonological awareness was discussed in the text. Keyword: English teaching approaches, young children, phonological awareness

論文提要內容： 本研究旨在探討字彙分析教學對台灣高中生學習生字、強化已習得之單字和推測字意三方面之影響。本研究結果希望對英文老師在教單字上有很大的啟示作用和幫助。 共有146位仁愛高中二年級學生參與這項研究，他們被分為實驗組和控制組；學期初，受試者接受英文能力測驗和單字前測，依據英文能力測驗成績，實驗組和控制組又細分為高低分兩組群。受試者在接受單字前測後，施以不同之單字教學：實驗組之教學方法包含字彙分析而控制組則否。18週後，他們接受單字後測。除接受後測外，實驗組還接受問卷調查和訪談。 研究結果顯示實驗組在學習生字、強化已習得之單字和推測字意三方面之進步均大於控制組。在學習生字方面的進步，實驗組和控制組平均數差異檢定已達到顯著水準（t = 2.777, p = .006）。此外，以英文程度而言，在學習生字、強化已習得之單字和推測字意三方面，高分組表現均優於低分組；在學習生字方面的進步，實驗高分組和控制組高分平均數差異檢定已達到顯著水準（t = .4529, p = .000）；低分組群則否（t = .249, p = .804）。經問卷調查分析和訪談，實驗組對字彙分析教學大部分持正面看法，高低分組群看法也大致上相似；在字尾使用、利用字首、字根、字尾推測字義和字彙分析法強化已習得單字三方面，高分組較低分組持更肯定之看法。本文根據研究結果，提出英語教學上之應用以及未來研究之建議。 / Abstract The purpose of the study is to explore the effect of Word Analysis Instruction on Taiwanese senior high school students’ vocabulary acquisition in learning new words, in consolidating previously learned words, and in inferring word meanings. It is hoped that the results of the study can give suggestions and inspirations to English teachers in vocabulary development. Involved in this study were 146 second graders at Jen-ai Senior High School. They were divided into the experimental and the control groups. At the beginning of the semester, all subjects took an English proficiency test and a vocabulary pretest. According to their scores in the English proficiency test, they were further divided into high and low proficiency levels. After the vocabulary pre-test, the experiment began. The experimental and the control groups received different vocabulary instructions: the instruction of the former involved word analysis, but that of the latter did not. After 18 weeks, all of the subjects took a vocabulary post-test. In addition to the vocabulary test, the experimental group was also asked to fill in a questionnaire. Later, some interviews were conducted. The results of the studies reveal that the experimental group made more progress than the control group in acquiring new words, in consolidating previously learned words, and in inferring word meanings. With regard to acquiring new words, the former significantly outperformed the latter (t = 2.777, p = .006). Besides, in terms of proficiency levels, the experimental high subgroup made more progress than the experimental low one. Regarding learning new words, the experimental high subgroup significantly outperformed the control one (t = .4529, p = .000), but there was no statistical difference between the low proficiency subgroups (t = .249, p = .804). Also, the questionnaire and interview results show that most of the subjects in the experimental group were positive about Word Analysis Instruction and that the high and low proficiency levels share similar points of view; in use of suffixes and vocabulary consolidation, high proficiency subjects tend to hold a more positive view than low proficiency ones. Based on the above results, some pedagogical implications for English teachers and suggestions are provided at the end of the study.

在英語寫作教學上，長久以來對於範文的使用，有很大的爭議。有些學者認為學習者可以透過分析與模仿範文的結構學會英文的組織結構；另一方面，有些學者則認為寫作是複雜的，非直線的過程，應包含了構思、寫作、修改、重寫等活動，範文的使用會阻礙學生自主思考。因此，在此提出一套寫作教學法，融合上述兩派的優點，透過範文使學生熟悉英文的修辭結構，同時以同儕修改、重寫、教師回饋等活動來輔助寫作的過程。本研究的目的是探討以範文演示法教學對高中生寫作的成效。 研究對象是台北縣某所高中39位三年級學生。主要研究工具包括：用以評估學生寫作能力的前後測寫作、兩份問卷用以調查學生對於英文寫作之結構的認知，及最後進行訪談以了解教學成效。研究過程分為三個步驟：(1)前測---前測寫作及問卷。根據大考中心的英文寫作標準，以前測成績將學生分成中等能力組(MPG)和低能力組(LPG)，以調查寫作教學對不同程度學生的影響。問卷則是調查學生之寫作習慣，及對英文寫作之認知。(2)教學實驗---為期十週的寫作教學 ，教學主題為記敘文及因果關係的寫作。(3)後測---後測寫作問卷與訪談，透過後測寫作以檢視學生之寫作成效；問卷與訪談則是為了進一步了解學生對英文寫作教學課程之觀感。 研究結過發現，此教學實驗對學生的英文寫作有正面影響。尤其在寫作結構及整體寫作品質方面，有明顯進步。此外，低能力組的進步大於中等能力組，而學生也反映，在上完英文寫作課後，對英文寫作較有信心。 / In the history of English writing pedagogy, there has long been a dispute over the use of models in English writing. Some researchers propose that learners can learn English organizational structures through the analysis and imitation of organization and logical arrangement in model paragraphs or essays. On the other hand, some process-oriented researchers argue that the use of models will prevent students from thinking on their own. An integrated approach was thus proposed to incorporate the strengths of the two approaches. Models were used to familiarize students with the rhetorical organization in English written discourse. In the meantime, peer-editing, revision and teacher feedback were used to facilitate the writing process. The present study examines the effects of model-based instruction in organization on the writing of senior high school students. Thirty-nine subjects, who were senior high students in the third year, participated in this study. A pretest writing was used before the instruction to group the subjects into different proficiency levels according to the criterion set by the College Entrance Examination Center (CEEC). Two proficiency groups, namely, the middle proficiency group (M.P.G) and low proficiency group (L.P.G), were found among the subjects. A Writing Habit questionnaire was applied to investigate the subjects’ conception and habits about writing before the instruction. Then, a ten-week model-based writing instruction was conducted on all the participants in the study. Description and cause-effect writing were the two genres for instruction. After the instruction, a post-test writing was conducted to compare with the pre-test to examine whether students had made progress in their writing after the instruction. The Response Questionnaire and three in-depth interviews were conducted to further explore students’ perception and attitude toward the model-based writing. The results of the study reveal that the instruction helps to improve students’ abilities to organize ideas more effectively and logically. The significant increase in scores on overall writing quality in the posttest also show that the model-based writing instruction helps to yield higher quality in students’ overall writing. In addition, subjects in the L.P.G. seem to make more progress than those in the M.P.G. Moreover, the subjects seem to have more confidence in writing after the treatment.

在全球化快速的腳步之下，英語教育逐漸受到非英語系國家的重視。各國政府紛紛將英語納入國小必修課程之中。為了提升孩童英語能力，各國更是積極引進外籍教師。因此，外籍教師的教學開始受到關注(Arva & Medgyes, 2000; Barratt & Kontra, 2000)。然而，許多國內研究皆顯示引進外籍教師的成效無法完全彰顯。其原因除了外師缺乏教學經驗與技巧之外，外師的流動率也是主因之一(林怡瑾,2002;周美瑜,2005;溫智雄,2006;陳錦芬,2007)。本研究以個案研究方式探討一位美籍英語教師，Bert，在台超過十四年的英語教學經驗以及其教學現況。本研究採取質性研究法，透過訪談、教室觀察與文件分析收集資料，並討論三個議題：(1)Bert的教學經驗及其影響，(2)Bert的教室教學、教學成效以及教學問題，(3)Bert在台所遇到之困難。本研究結果顯示Bert豐富的教學經驗、認真的教學態度、以及積極的面對困難的個性使得他能成功在台灣長期從事英語教學。最後，依據本研究結果，針於在台外籍英語教師以及政策制定者，進一步提供相關建議，以作為未來外籍教師在英語教學專業成長上，以及政府外籍教師引進政策制定及修訂之參考。 / With the rapid pace of globalization, many Asian governments have introduced English education to elementary school curriculum with the recognition of the importance of English. Meanwhile, many native English-speaking teachers (NESTs) have also been recruited to teach local students to enhance their English competence. However, many studies indicate that the effect of recruiting NESTs has been reduced because of NESTs’ insufficient professional knowledge and their high turnover rate (Lin, 2002; Chou, 2005; Wen, 2006; Chen, 2007). Thus, the purpose of this research is to investigate the teaching of one American English teacher, Bert, who has taught English in Taiwan for over fourteen years. A qualitative research method was adopted in this case study. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observation and document analysis to discuss three issues concerning Bert’s teaching experience: (a) his past teaching experience, (b) his current classroom practices, teaching effectiveness, teaching problems and (c) the difficulties he encountered in Taiwan. The study concluded that although Bert began his teaching with insufficient EFL teaching knowledge and skills, his rich experience, serious teaching attitude and his positive personality toward the difficulties he encountered in Taiwan have enabled him to successfully teach English in Taiwan. Finally, pedagogical implications and suggestions derived from the discussions were offered to the NESTs in Taiwan for professional growth and to the government for policy-making.

我國自1978年解嚴以降，修憲一直是我國民主化發展中最為重要的途徑。 而每一次的修憲皆對我國的政治、經濟、社會等層面產生極大的影響，也塑造出我國的政治文化。 自1950年代末期，Almond首次以「政治文化」(political culture)作為研究主題後，五十多年來，無論國內外，政治文化之研究已是重要的研究方向。 一般政治文化研究多著墨在人民的政治態度與取向；相對而言，「政治菁英的政治文化」的相關研究上卻付之闕如。在我國政治發展的歷程中，政治菁英扮演了重要的角色，尤其在威權轉型之後，他們對於國家重要制度的建立及政府體制的革新等，深深影響著我國之國家發展的走向。 故本文以政治菁英為主體，利用政治文化指標，從歷次修憲中探究政治菁英所表現出的政治文化類型，並深入探討政治菁英在修憲歷程中所扮演的角色與影響的層面。

本研究旨在探討兩位國中英語教師閱讀教學信念及其課堂教學，同時分析師生課堂互動如何影響教師的課堂閱讀教學。過去研究顯示出學生對於教師的信念及教學有很大的影響，但課堂上的師生互動如何影響教師教學卻需要進一步的研究。本研究採取質性個案研究，研究過程採取訪談教師及學生和課堂觀察兩位教師的教學為主要資料蒐集來源。結果顯示教師所聲稱的閱讀教學信念與其實際課堂教學確有差異之處，而學生因素包括: (1) 學生課堂參與 (2) 學生對教授內容的理解 (3) 學生英語程度差異 (4) 學生考試壓力均影響教師調整課堂教學的內容。然而教師信念與實際教學差異卻反映了教師信念因應個別教學情境而改變的本質，同時透過教師信念研究亦凸顯了教師於課堂中真正扮演的角色。文末進一步提出相關建議，以期能作為在職教師及未來研究參考。 / The purposes of the present study are to investigate two junior high school English teachers’ beliefs and practices on reading instruction and how the teacher-student interaction in class impacts teachers’ reading instruction behaviors. Previous studies have shown the impacts of student issues on the teachers’ beliefs, but how exactly these issues interact with teachers’ in-class practices demands further investigation. The case study research, that is semi-structured interviews with participating teachers and students and classroom observations, was adopted in the present study. The results reveal that there are indeed discrepancies between the teachers’ claimed pedagogical beliefs and their in-class actions, and students’ in-class participation, their comprehension of teachers’ instruction, their diverse English proficiency levels and their examination pressure all present challenges to shape teachers’ actions in class. Nevertheless, these discrepancies between teachers’ beliefs and practice in turn reveal the situated nature of teachers’ beliefs, which help teachers develop more contextualized adjustments to meet their individual teaching contexts. Moreover, the investigation of teachers’ pedagogical beliefs make the instruction roles they play explicit. Finally, it is expected that the findings of the present study offer a new perspective to understand teachers’ beliefs and practices and provide pedagogical implications for in-service teaching profession.

在英文為第二語言和為外語的領域中，學習者的期待扮演著重要的角色，進而影響學習者對於新學習任務的觀感。隨著科技的演進，電腦輔助語言學習提供了英文學習者一個嶄新的學習環境，也影響了學習者的期待。然而，低英語學習成就者在線上英文補救課程的期待卻鮮少被探究。 本研究目的為探討低英文學習成就者之期待與其對於線上學習之經驗與看法。本研究的參與者為三位英文低學習成就者。這三位參與者皆為大學一年級的女學生且參加學校提供的線上英文補救教學。本研究使用問卷、英文能力測驗和訪談來挑選適合的被研究者與收集資料。所得到的資訊將會以質性的方式分析並呈現參與研究者的期待、期待之轉變和對線上學習的經驗與看法。 研究結果顯示出不同類型的自我期待影響學習者對線上學習的期待。擁有自我增值類型的自我期待之被研究者傾向於規範自己和期待英文能力進步；擁有自我貶抑類型的自我期待之被研究者傾向於對課程內容設計與同儕學習期待多一點；擁有適當自我評估類型的自我期待之被研究者對於自我學習管理良好且調整自己的學習狀態以適應新的線上學習環境，獲得更好的學習成效。此外，一些相關的議題也對被研究者有相當的影響，例如：面子、焦慮、自我效能、學習團體等。根據研究結果，有四項聲明可以被提出：第一，線上學習者對於面子相當在意；第二，不同自我期待之線上學習者對於焦慮有不同的處理方式；第三，對於線上學習來說，自主學習能力是很重要的。最後，並不是每一位線上學習者皆需要學習社群。 總而言之，線上學習者的內在因素與外在的學習行為是密不可分的。被研究者的線上學習行為與經驗皆被其期待影響。在語言教育者著重於教室內的學習現象的同時，社會文化因素也是需要被納入考量的重要的議題。 / In the field of ESL and EFL, learners’ expectations play a significant role and affect learners’ perception toward upcoming learning tasks. With the advance of technology, the computer assisted language learning provides English learners with alternative learning context, influencing the learners’ expectations. However, low achievers’ expectations in the online remedial English program are rarely investigated. The present study aimed at exploring the pattern of low achievers’ expectations and presenting the experience and perception of low achievers learning online. Participants were 3 English low achievers in a university. All of them were female freshmen and attended the online remedial English course offered by the university. Questionnaires, proficiency tests, and semi-structured interviews were administered to select participants and collect data. Later, the elicited information will be analyzed in a qualitative ways to display the expectations towards the online remedial English course, expectation shift, perceptions and experiences of online learning. The results showed that different types of the self-expectation influenced the learning expectations toward online learning. The participants with self-enhancement tended to regulate herself and expect to improve English proficiency more; the one with self-derogation inclined to expect course design and peer learning more; the one with appropriate self-appraisement regulated herself well and accustomed herself to the alternative online learning context for better learning results. Moreover, some issues played an important role to the three participants, including face, anxiety, self-efficacy, and a sense of learning community. Based on the results of this study, four assertions were proposed. First, face issues were of high concerns of these online learners. Second, learners with different types of self-expectation may treat anxiety in diverse ways. Third, self-regulatory efficacy was important to online learning. Finally, developing a learning community might not be welcomed by all the online learners. To sum up, online learners’ internal factors and external learning behavior were interwoven. The online experiences and performances of the three participants were affected by their expectations. As language educators focus on the learning phenomena in the classroom, the socio-cultural factors are other significant issues needed to be taken into consideration.

英法海底隧道為BOT工程的重要參考指標，惟於1994年宣布通車營運以來，歐洲隧道公司始終存在著嚴重的財務困難，歷經1995-1998年及2005-2007年兩次的財務重整，終於2009年首次宣布發放股利，財務狀況由虧轉盈。 本研究旨在探討歐洲隧道公司如何進行財務重整及成敗的因素，於文獻回顧分別介紹公司重整之方法及攸關重整成敗的因素，遂分別介紹歐洲隧道公司第一、二次重整計畫之內容，主要討論重整重要紀事彙整、財務發生困難原因、重整歷程、重整計畫內容分析、重整前、後之重要財務資料彙集以及近年財務狀況分析，及評析歐洲隧道公司之重整策略。 本研究結果顯示，歐洲隧道公司兩次重整主要皆採「以債作股」的方式，以「重整成功」的定義觀之，雖於第一次重整 (1995-1998年) 後，未能立即轉虧為盈，但已減輕虧損的情況，且亦因第一次的重整將債務減少12億英鎊，使得2005年再度爆發財務危機而進行第二次重整 (2005-2007年) 時，能在英法海底隧道產業前景看好，營運穩定成長之下，公司的主要債權人為金融機構，利益關係人有效協商並取得共識，爭取往來銀行的支持，以債作股方式，確保公司能繼續維持營運，積極募集新的資金，於第二次重整後，財務狀況明顯改善，還重新在巴黎和倫敦證券交易所申請股票上市，恢復股票交易的流通性。本研究認為歐洲隧道公司歷經兩次重整，順利成功再生，相當符合重整成功的定義。 最後，經由英法海底隧道實際案例之分析，推論英法政府堅不出資及不融資保證為促使歐洲隧道公司自救的重要關鍵，及BOT專案財務計畫準確預估的重要性。歐洲隧道公司自救及英法政府的堅守原則，為世界各國在進行BOT專案時，同為政府及特許公司深值借鏡的佳例。

我國現行法對於公司董事責任係以形式認定為之，然而在目前公司實務上有許多不具有董事頭銜卻具有經營實權之人，其責任為何，是我國長久以來懸而未決的問題。在我國增訂實質董事規範的呼聲由來已久，如何認定實質董事及界定其責任範圍卻因影響層面廣大，難以達成共識而遲遲無法修訂草案通過，因此如何制定實質董事之規範實有研究必要。 經濟部版草案規定實質董事之構成要件為「實際執行董事職務」或「經常指揮董事執行業務」之人。立法委員所提出草案版本之構成要件，其一為「實質上執行董事職務」之人，其二為「直接或間接控制公司之人事、財務或業務經營」之人。 實質董事之立法目的乃是使實際享有董事經營實權之人負起相關之經營責任。立法委員版草案所提出的「直接或間接控制公司之人事、財務或業務經營」之人，對公司雖然必定享有某種控制地位，但實質董事之立法，係規範不具董事身份之人，卻享有董事之職權者，使其負起相關的經營責任。立法委員版草案對於非「實質上執行董事職務」之人，則以「直接或間接控制公司之人事、財務或業務經營」來判斷，即必須達到對公司已經享有控制地位，始將之納入規範的範圍。如此一來，對於未以自身實質執行董事職務，卻利用其他影響力於幕後指揮董事參與公司經營者，因未達對公司享有控制地位的要件，而可能無法完全納入規範範圍。 我國經濟部版草案規範，實質董事負有公司法23條之善良管理人注意義務及忠實義務，是否應包括其他具體規範即有疑問。例如忠實義務主要所要解決的乃是公司負責人與公司間產生的利益衝突問題，違反忠實義務的效果，不必然使公司受有損害，因此規範實質董事負有23條之責任，若僅限於損害賠償責任，實際上不一定能使實質董事負有忠實義務之責任。就此本文認為，實質董事負有23條之責任，應包括其他具體規範。

The concern over test consequence has inspired research into the wider impact of language tests and testing policies, but few studies have examined this subject in the context of Taiwan. With the goal of enhancing Taiwan’s global competitiveness by upgrading manpower quality, the central government implemented a 2002 policy to develop the English proficiency of civil servants by recognizing passing marks on approved English language proficiency tests as a promotion criterion. This thesis reports on a research study that adopted a multi-method approach to assess the testing policy’s impact on test-takers and analyze the rationale and consequences of revisions to the policy that were implemented between 2002 and the 2011. A survey of 282 civil servants working in the banking, economics, and finance sectors yielded data about the participants’ self-assessment of their English proficiency and workplace need for the language, English study and test-taking experience, impressions of English proficiency tests, and assessment of the effectiveness of the testing policy. Statistical analysis of the test impression and policy effectiveness data revealed significant correlation between positive assessments of the policy’s impact and the perceived fairness of the testing policy, the policy’s influence on motivation to study English, and the participants’ intrinsic interest in improving their English. Interviews with officials involved in formulating and implementing the testing policy and a review of government documents related to the policy provided data that were incorporated into the Geelhoed-Schouwstra policy analysis framework and facilitated the identification of factors that influenced the outcomes of the testing policy. The results of this study of an English language testing policy help to clarify who the test-takers and test users are, how and why tests are being used, and what the consequences of test use are.
