網際網路溝通式活動在英語教學上之應用 / A survey study of computer-mediated communication activities for EFL/ESL teaching

李玉嫈, Li, Yu-Ying Unknown Date (has links)
在網際網路眾多功能當中,溝通是重要的活動之一,網際網路溝通式活動包含了電子郵件,電子布告欄等。網際網路溝通式活動具備的一些特性,例如互動性,以及真實語言與情境的使用使得網際網路溝通式活動在英語教學上漸漸成為重要的輔助工具。本篇論文旨在從英語教學理論與應用兩方面探討網際網路溝通式活動於英語教學上之應用。在理論層面,本論文主要從溝通式教學法,以及其他英語教學上重要的理論依據來剖析網際網路溝通式活動。在實際應用方面,本論文對於國內外老師運用網際網路溝通式活動的情形作了一個調查研究。從理論與應用情形的調查結果發現,網際網路溝通式活動對於英語教學確實有其正面意義,不過結果也顯示在應用的過程中亦有一些問題存在,如何解決這些問題以及如何設計良好的網際網路教學活動以促使網際網路溝通式活動能成為有效的教學輔助工具則必須更多的教師與專家們共同努力研究。 / With the rapid development of the computer technology, the computer network has been widely introduced into everyday life around the world. Communication is an important function provided by the Internet. The computer-mediated communication (CMC) system provides an interactive and communicative environment for users to share ideas and exchange messages. Due to the various characteristics, the CMC system has gradually become an important facilitator in EFL/ESL education. In the study, the CMC system is investigated from the theoretical base and the practical aspect. In the theoretical aspect, the CMC system is thought to be effective in facilitating EFL/ESL education from the latest EFL/ESL theories or approaches. In the practical aspect, a survey is designed to investigate the implementation of the CMC system around the world and in Taiwan. The results of the survey show that in face of various CMC tools, many college teachers in Taiwan still have little idea about them, and the CMC activities that are implemented in Taiwan seem to be fewer and lack of variety when compared with those around the world. As for the benefits and problems of the CMC activities for EFL/ESL teaching, most teachers think that the CMC activities have brought many benefits in facilitating EFL/ESL teaching, but some problems still exist so as to decrease the effect of teaching. From the general discussion, some suggestions and implications for EFL/ESL teaching are proposed in the study.

臺灣大學生對英語連接詞的理解與使用之研究 / A Study on College-Level Chinese Students' Use of English Conjunctions and Their Reading Comprehension

吳卓勳, Wu, Jwo Shiun Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在探討臺灣的大學生連接詞的理解與使用。除比較大學生對「句內」及「句間」連接詞的使用外,所閱讀文章內容的熟悉與否是否影響其使用連接詞,以及英文能力與連接詞使用能力之間的相關性,也是本研究的重點所在。   一百三十五位國立臺灣工業技術學院大一學生參與此研究。其測驗結果顯示:(一)英文能力愈強者,使用連接詞的能力也愈強;(二)「句間」連接詞比「句內」連接詞較難理解使用;(三)對文章內容的熟悉並未顯著幫助受試者選用正確連接詞。 / The present study was designed to investigate college-level Chinese students' use of English conjunctions at the intra- and inter-sentential levels, the interaction of content familiarity and use of conjunctions, and the relationship between English proficiency and ability to use conjunctions. It aimed at understanding their weakness in using conjunctions and in comprehending expository texts, and thus providing some pedagogical implications for teaching English conjunctions and reading comprehension.   One hundred and thirty-five freshmen at National Taiwan Institute of Technology participated in the present study. One hundred and three of them were engineering majors and thirty-two of them were business majors. They were given a simulated TOEFL test and a conjunction test. The conjunction test was composed of a sentence-completion test, which was designed to test subjects' ability to use conjunctions within sentences (intrasentential), and a three-passage rational multiple-choice cloze, which was designed to measure subjects' ability to use conjunctions in extended discourses (intersentential) and the interaction of content familiarity and the ability to use conjunctions.   The results showed that (1) college-level Chinese students were more competent in using English conjunctions at the intrasentential level than at the intersentential level, (2) most of the subjects did not seem to comprehend logical development better and thus did not use conjunctions more accurately in content-familiar texts than in content unfamiliar texts, and (3) subjects with higher level of English proficiency exhibited greater ability in using conjunctions both intrasententially and intersententially.

不同英語教學法下學前幼兒的聲韻覺識能力

呂珮菁, Lu, Pei-ching Unknown Date (has links)
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

字彙分析教學對高中生單字習得影響之研究 / A Study of the Effect of Word Analysis Instruction on Vocabulary Acquisition in a Taiwanese Senior High School

徐鍬鳳, Hsu, Chiou-feng Unknown Date (has links)
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.

一位美籍英語教師在台灣的教學經驗 / An American English Teacher's Teaching Experience in Taiwan

呂佳儒, Lu, Chia Ju Unknown Date (has links)
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.

國中英語教師閱讀教學信念與實踐:兩位教師之個案研究 / Junior high school EFL teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and practices on reading instruction: a case study

陳瑋芳 Unknown Date (has links)
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.
