本研究在探討英語電子繪本教學對於國小學生在認字表現以及學習態度的影響。此研究以54位來自台中市四年級英語低成就的小學生為研究對象，他們分別來自7個不同的班級，這54位學生被分成實驗組跟對照組，兩組無論在數量、性別、背景以及認字表現上皆相似。實驗組實施電子繪本教學而對照組則實施紙本繪本教學，每週上課一次，經過16週的教學後，兩組皆進行認字表現測驗及施以英語學習態度問卷。蒐集測驗及問卷所得的資料以獨立樣本t檢定及相對樣本t檢定來進行統計分析，研究結果顯示實驗組及對照組在認字表現及學習態度皆有顯著差異，電子繪本組在認字表現測驗成績比紙本繪本組好，而且英語低成就學生在電子繪本教學後，學習態度有正向的改變。希望實驗的結果能幫助老師提升學生的認字能力並且廣泛推行英語電子繪本教學。最後，研究者根據實驗的結果，對未來研究方向提出一些建議。 / This study investigated the effects of the electronic storybook instruction on the word recognition performance of elementary school students. Additionally, the effects of the electronic storybook instruction on students’ English learning attitudes were explored. Fifty four fourth-grade underachievers selected from seven classes at an elementary school in Taichung City were the participants of this study. The participants were divided into two groups and they were matched based on the numbers, gender, background, and word recognition performance. The control group received picture book instruction, while the experimental group took electronic storybook instruction once a week. The Word Recognition Test and Learning Attitude Questionnaire were administered to both groups after the 16-week instruction. The data collected from pre-test, post-test, pre-questionnaire, and post-questionnaire were analyzed by an independent samples t test and a paired samples t test. The results showed there were significant differences between the two groups in their word recognition performance and English learning attitudes. The results presented that the underachievers receiving electronic storybook instruction performed significantly better than those who received picture book instruction on word recognition performance. Moreover, it was found that electronic storybook instruction positively changed the underachievers’ English learning attitudes. It is hoped that the findings will help teachers improve students’ word recognition ability and promote the widely adoption of electronic storybooks. Based on the findings of this study, some suggestions for the future research were offered at last.

本研究之目的在探討親子共讀對幼兒閱讀能力之影響。使用自編之家長與幼兒共同閱讀問卷，收集有關親子共讀、家長及幼兒背景資料；本研究之幼兒閱讀能力，指幼兒認字能力、故事理解力、聲韻覺識能力，認字與故事理解力方面採用楊怡婷（1995）改編之故事及自編之理解能力測驗，聲韻覺識能力則採用呂珮菁（2004）聲韻覺識測驗，幼兒閱讀能力之資料皆至園所對幼兒施測而得。首先，分析背景資料對幼兒閱讀能力之影響，再比較有無親子共讀家庭中，分別在幼兒在閱讀能力上造成之差異；最後，針對前述有差異的閱讀能力，深入探討具有親子共讀的家庭裡，共讀的互動方式與閱讀能力間的關係。 研究結果為: 性別對幼兒的閱讀能力並沒有影響。亦發現學英語的幼兒在聲韻覺識作業細項中的中文聲母刪除作業及英文音素刪除作業表現較佳。在家長教育程度與職業在幼兒閱讀能力上沒有顯著差異。關於有無親子共讀對幼兒閱讀能力之影響，結果為：具有親子共讀的幼兒在故事理解力表現較無親子共讀者顯著為佳。 針對故事理解能力，家長共讀與此能力間的相關行為有：對於故事內容進行描述教導與推論教導，其中，描述教導的具體行為有「給予描述或指名」、「要求孩子描述或指名」、「要求孩子預測劇情」、「戲劇化表達」；推論教導的具體行為有「常問為什麼」、「與孩子討論因果關係」，這些都可以增進幼兒對故事的瞭解以及作出高層次認知的思考，基於研究結果之建議，文中有詳細討論。 / This thesis investigates the influence of parent to the literacy of their young child through sharing books with their child. Parents were requested to fill out the questionnaires about joint book reading and children were assessed their literacy which includes word recognition, story comprehension, and phonological awareness. The sample (n= 53) included 40 patents who have joint book reading and 13 parents who do not. The first step of this thesis is to compare with children literacy between children whose parents have joint book reading and children whose parents do not. Children with sharing book by parents only have better achievement in story comprehension than those who without joint book reading. Thus, the second step of this thesis is to find out what kind of parents’ utterances during joint book reading is related to the story comprehension of children and these utterances may improve the story comprehension of children. The utterances which are related to the story comprehension of children are following: 1. Labels: Parents request or provide character identification, labeling of objects, and so on. 2. Descriptions: Parents request or provide an explanation of plot information and focus on what has happened or is happening. Inference: Parents request predictions about why has happened in the story and discuss the causality in the story with their children.

本論文主旨在探討以廣泛閱讀方式將電子書運用於國中英語補救教學的課程，對於英語補救教學學生在辨認字義、閱讀理解與英語閱讀態度的影響。文中亦探討學生在實行課程當中所面臨的困難與挑戰，以及對此課程之看法。本研究以六位來自新北市八年級英語補救教學學生為研究對象，每週上課一次為期26週，課程分兩階段進行。第一階段為上學期16週，採學生個人閱讀方式；第二階段則為下學期10週，加入同儕閱讀夥伴方式閱讀。兩階段課程之前後，分別以英語測驗作為前後測。而在本研究開始前及結束後，均對學生進行閱讀態度的量測，使用工具為Yamashita (2013)的第二語言閱讀態度量表。在全部課程結束後，所有學生須填寫關於本課程的問卷。 研究結果顯示在第二階段加入閱讀夥伴後，學生在辨認字義上有顯著進步。在閱讀理解方面則成效不明顯。而且，此課程對於補救教學學生在英語閱讀態度有正面影響。根據研究結果，本研究建議國中英語教師可妥善安排閱讀夥伴，以電子書廣泛閱 讀方式融入補救教學來提升學生的認字能力與英語學習態度。此外，本研究亦提供教師教學現場以及未來研究方向之建議。 / This study aims to investigate how e-book extensive reading as a remedial program (EERRP) affects English remedial learners’ word recognition, reading comprehension, and reading attitudes towards English. It also attempts to explore the difficulties and challenges met by the remedial students and their responses to the EERRP. Six eighth-grade remedial students at a junior high school in New Taipei City were participants in this study. The 26-week program was divided into two stages with one class period every week. Stage 1 included individual reading for the first 16 weeks and Stage 2 included pair reading with reading partners for the remaining 10 weeks. The Test of English Word Recognition and Reading Comprehension was administered to the remedial students as pre-test and post-test in both stages. The degree of changes in reading attitude was assessed by using the reading attitude scale (Yamashita, 2013) before and after the EERRP. At the end of the program, a post-study questionnaire was administered to each of the participants. The results showed that there was a significant difference in word recognition skills after the inclusion of reading partners in Stage 2. The effect was not quite as good for reading comprehension. Moreover, it was found that the EERRP had positive effects on the attitudes of the struggling EFL readers towards reading English. Based upon the findings, it is suggested that junior high school English teachers can make good use of reading partners and employ the EERRP to facilitate the word recognition skills and enhance the attitudes towards learning of struggling students. Pedagogical implications and suggestions for future studies are presented as well.

本研究旨在探討英文童謠教學對台灣國小英語學習低成就學童對英語的音素覺識、認字、拼字能力、以及英語學習態度的影響。實驗分兩階段進行。第一階段進行小規模的前測作為正式研究的準備，先行測試選用的英語童謠是否適切、教學活動是否可行，以及低成就學童在音素覺識與學習態度是否因此改善等等，並根據初探結果規劃正式實驗。第二階段的正式實驗，除音素覺識與學習態度外，更進一步探討英文童謠教學對認字及拼字能力的影響。 在正式實驗中，實驗對象為桃園市某國小36名四年級的學習低成就學童(學業表現為後百分之十)。研究者將此36名學童隨機平均分配為兩組；實驗組及對照組兩組，各18名學生。對實驗組施以平衡閱讀「由整體到細部」(whole-to-parts)架構設計的英文童謠教學，將音素覺識及字母拼讀法(phonics)等技巧訓練自然地融入有趣的英文童謠情境中；而對照組則單獨採用字母拼讀教學，循序教授字母與音的對應關係。實驗組及對照組每週均有兩節英語補救教學，每節課40分鐘，持續十二週。兩組學生在教學前後各施以前測及後測，內容包括音素覺識測驗、認字測驗、拼字測驗，以及英語學習態度問卷調查，以評量受試者在早期讀寫技巧上的發展，及學習態度上的改變情形。 同組組內前後測比較結果顯示，在十二週實驗教學後，實驗組及對照組二組學生在音素覺識、認字及拼字能力三方面，均有顯著的進步。然而，只有實驗組學生對英語學習的態度有顯著的正向改變，對照組學生則無。此外，兩組組間比較結果發現，雖然在實驗前，兩組學生英語拼讀能力相當，對英語的看法也類似，但經實驗教學後，兩組的後測成績有非常明顯的差異，實驗組學生在音素覺識、認字、拼字能力的進步幅度，以及學習態度各方面，均顯著優於對照組。 以上研究結果顯示，運用英文童謠進行補救教學確實極為有效，不但能增進台灣英語低成就學童的早期讀寫技巧，且能改善其學習英語的態度。本研究之結果及教學建議，可供未來國小補救教學相關研究之參考。 / The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of nursery rhyme instruction on Taiwanese elementary school EFL underachievers with regard to their development on phonemic awareness, word recognition and spelling abilities, and their attitudinal changes toward learning English. The present study was conducted in two stages. A small-scale pilot study was first carried out as a preparation for the formal study. The feasibility of nursery rhyme instruction and the effects of this instruction on phonemic awareness and learning attitudes were tested on seven EFL underachievers preliminary to the formal study. In the second stage, a formal study which followed closely the design of the pilot study, further explored the effects of nursery rhyme instruction on word recognition and spelling abilities. In the formal study, thirty-six fourth grade underachievers (whose academic performances were at the bottom 10 percent) with deficient phonemic awareness were screened for this study. The experimental group and the control group were evenly matched with eighteen students each. The experimental group received nursery rhyme instruction using the “whole-to-parts” framework of balanced reading within which training in skills including phonemic awareness and phonics is embedded into the context of children’s literature. The eighteen subjects in the matched control group received explicit phonics instruction wherein the isolated sound-letter correspondences were sequenced and taught explicitly and systematically. To assess their development in early literacy skills, all subjects took the pretests and posttests of phonemic awareness, word recognition and spelling. Moreover, to measure their attitudinal changes toward learning English, they were administered the attitude questionnaires before and after the remedial instruction. Data was collected from early-September until early-December, 2006, covering twenty four 40-minute class periods for each group. Comparison of within-group performance indicated that both the experimental group and the control group made significant post- over pretest improvements in phonemic awareness, word recognition and spelling abilities. However, only the experimental group had a significant positive change on their attitudes toward English. In addition, at the onset of the study, both groups started with equivalent early literacy skills, and held similar attitudes toward English learning. However, posttest scores revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in phonemic awareness skills, word recognition and spelling abilities. Significant differences can also be found in their attitudes towards learning English. The findings from this study indicate that a remedial instruction utilizing nursery rhymes can effectively help Taiwanese EFL underachievers improve their early literacy skills, and more significantly, their learning attitudes towards English. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications and suggestions for further studies are provided.

本研究之目的在於比較蒙特梭利語文教育與全語言教育對不同年齡幼兒閱讀能力影響之差異。研究對象為接受蒙特梭利教育與全語言教育的中班與大班學前幼兒。研究者選取兩所位於台北市且實施蒙特梭利與全語言教育之幼稚園，依照這些受試者的年齡、家庭社經地位、在園時間、入園時間及畢保德圖畫詞彙測驗分數等條件後，進行配對選取，最後選取的總受試幼兒共58名。本研究中之幼兒閱讀能力指幼兒聲韻覺識能力、認字量與閱讀理解能力。研究工具在聲韻覺識測驗上採用侯淑柔、林佩蓉（2007）所編製之聲韻覺識測驗中之得分，認字與閱讀理解力採用楊怡婷（1995）改編之故事及自編之理解能力測驗，幼兒閱讀能力之資料皆至幼稚園對幼兒施測而得。 研究結果顯示，幼兒閱讀能力，有「年齡」的差異，大班生優於中班生；幼兒閱讀能力有「教學法」的差異，接受蒙特梭利教學的幼兒在閱讀能力的表現上優於全語言教育的幼兒；在「年齡」與「教學法」的交互作用上並無顯著之差異。而單獨進行大班幼兒閱讀能力的差異檢定發現，大班幼兒在聲韻覺識上的表現呈現顯著差異，接受蒙特梭利教學的幼兒在閱讀能力的表現上優於全語言教育的幼兒，而在認字和閱讀理解上則無顯著差異；在中班幼兒閱讀能力的差異檢定結果，中班幼兒閱讀能力表現無論在聲韻覺識、認字量和閱讀理解上皆無顯著差異。此外，針對所有閱讀能力測驗結果進行相關分析後，發現聲韻覺識、認字量和閱讀理解兩兩之間皆具有顯著之相關，而在控制聲韻覺識變項之後，認字和閱讀理解呈現顯著的高度相關，而控制認字變項之後，聲韻覺識和閱讀理解之間的關係便消失了，足見認字在幼兒閱讀能力中所佔之重要角色。 / The purpose of this study was to compare the literacy of young children who attended Montessori or Whole Language education program. Their literacy which includes word recognition, reading comprehension, and phonological awareness. The sample (n=58) consisted of the pre-kindergarten (age 4-5, n=26) and kindergarten (age 5-6, n=32). Schools were selected base on grossly similar school profiles on Taipei city. To control and match age, socioeconomic status (SES), the score of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised of the children whose attended different programs. Results of the study showed significant difference on “age” and “education program” : The children in the kindergarten whose literacy was better than the children in the pre- kindergarten；the children attended Montessori education program whose literacy was better than the children attended Whole Language education program. Significant different on “phonological awareness” : The children in the kindergarten of the Montessori education program whose phonological awareness was higher than the children in the pre- kindergarten of the Whole Language education program, but no significant difference on “word recognition” and “reading comprehension”. The children in the pre-kindergarten between Montessori education program and Whole Language education program showed no significant difference on “word recognition” and “reading comprehension” and “phonological awareness”.
