過去廿年來，有為數不少的研究致力於英聽的教、學、或者是測驗。這種現象也許代表著英聽在外語學習上日益重要，但這等程度的成長與品質提升，倘若與閱讀、寫作等其他語言技巧比較起來，仍有不足之感慨。 有鑑於此，本研究以貢獻英聽相關研究為出發點，探討台北市國中生於英聽能力方面有何學習之需求。除了了解國中學生到底希望學習或增進哪些英聽能力，本研究亦試著探討這樣的需求是否與學生的性別或學生入國中前所已經習得的英聽能力有任何顯著關聯。研究方法採用問卷方式，內容依據Richards於1983年所提出的兩大項（會話方面與學術方面）共計51種（前者33種，後者18種）的英聽能力，針對台北ㄧ所國中全部的八年級生進行研究。受測對象對每項英聽能力的重要性給予評分（1~5分），所得結果再以T檢驗及ANOVA找出學生於英聽能力上到底有何需求或可能的影響因素。 研究結果顯示：(1) 學術方面的英聽能力需求高於會話方面；(2)「能跟得上不同的授課方式：口說、聽、視聽」的需求度最高；(3) 最被認為重要的會話方面英聽能力則是「能辨別英語中音位相對但意思不同的音」；(4)「高」英聽能力群組的學生比「中」或「低」英聽能力群組的學生在不管會話方面還是學術方面都有較多需求；(5) 女學生在會話方面或學術方面也比男學生有較多需求。 / Over the past two decades, a great deal of attention has been devoted to the teaching, learning, and testing of foreign language listening ability. This increased attention is due (at least in part) to the realization of the importance of listening in language learning (Rubin, 1994). While there is an increased research focusing on English listening, there is still much work that needs to be done. The present study, therefore, aimed at assessing the English listening needs of junior high school students in Taipei, investigating their English conversational and academic listening abilities. In addition, the study also examined the differences in listening needs between the students with different levels of English listening proficiency or with different genders. In this study, the questionnaire utilized was based on Richards’ (1983) proposition of the taxonomy of listening skills. It consisted of two major need types, including 51 listening abilities altogether—33 conversational listening abilities and 18 academic ones. The scale of importance and its frequency counting are the ways of measurement and comparison. As for the participants, 208 eighth-graders of all the classes from a junior high school in Taipei took part in this study, with 202 successfully completing the questionnaire form. Finally, t-tests and ANOVA were both used to analyze the quantitative data and to find out the possible patterns of the students’ thoughts in terms of the English listening needs. The study completed, the results first indicated that junior high school students had more needs for academic listening than for conversational one. The most important English listening need was the academic ability to follow different modes of lecturing: spoken, audio, audio-visual, whereas the most need for conversational listening abilities was being able to discriminate among the distinctive sounds of the target language. The results then demonstrated that students with high level of English listening proficiency had significantly more needs for both conversational and academic listening than either the ‘intermediate’ or the ‘low’ proficiency participants. Finally, it was discovered that female listeners, no matter for academic or conversational listening abilities, had more needs than males.

在臺灣，教授高中英語聽講課的老師常要苦思尋索如何選用教材與方法以引起學生的學習動機。研究者發現一些老師偶爾會在課堂中運用戲劇技巧，例如角色扮演以誘發學生的學習興趣。是以引發研究者的研究動機：嘗試應用一套有系統、有效又完整的「戲劇教學法」順利推進課程。 是以，研究者採用國立政治大學英國語文學系教師研究團隊在政大實小所進行的英語戲劇教學模式，在英語聽講課進行一學期的實驗教學行動研究。亟盼透過本研究成果提供不熟悉戲劇教學或擔心戲劇教學費時的英語教師們，一種非傳統式的英語聽講課。 本研究採質性研究，研究對象為32名高中一年級學生，研究者依上述教學研究模式設計15週的教學活動，研究資料採集研究者的上課觀察、錄影、學生回饋單、三份問卷、學生公演錄影及後測，加以分析整理出研究結果。 研究結果發現97%的學生喜歡此種戲劇實驗教學，特別是經過戲劇教學中劇本創作和不斷的演練、.及公演，學生的學習動機、語言能力、創造力及其它技能如布景服裝設計也因而增進。而此種課程可融合「語言教學」、「多元智慧」及「合作學習」等教學方法，提升學生的學習動機及語言能力，並可激發學生在戲劇表演及英語表達應用上的創造力。值得推廣。 / In Taiwan, English listening and speaking classes often trouble many English teachers with having to choose proper teaching materials or class activities to motivate students. The researcher observed some current teachers occasionally used some dramatic techniques, such as role play to elevate students’ interest. This motivated the present researcher to employ a more comprehensive and systematic drama teaching strategy in this course. Therefore, the researcher applied the model that was conducted in National Chengchi University Experimental Elementary School by a team of researchers at the English Department of the National Chengchi University to do this experimental drama teaching. The present research aims to provide the English teachers who are not good at drama teaching or view drama teaching as time consuming with a favorable, non-traditional method in the listening and speaking course. The participants included in this research were 32 students of the 10th grade. The researcher designed a 15-week course activities based on the NCCU model. A qualitative research method was utilized in this research. Data from the researcher’s observation, videotaping, students’ reflection, three questionnaires, students’ work, the formal performance videotaping and a post test were collected and analyzed to assess the effects of this action research. The findings indicated 97% of students liked this experimental drama teaching. Especially, through script creation, rehearsals and the formal performance, students’ learning motivation, four skills of language learning, creativity and other skills such as property and costume designs, were elevated. This course can integrate language learning, multiple intelligence theory, and cooperative learning theories to motivate and strengthen students’ proficiency and creativity in using English as a second language. Drama teaching in listening and speaking course is worthy of recommendation. .

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.

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。
