台灣高中生英文寫作用字分析與教學 / A Study on Teaching Vocabulary for English Writing to Taiwanese High School Students

李芷涵, Lee, Chih Han Unknown Date (has links)
本研究旨在實驗一套單字教學活動是否能成功增加台灣高中生的寫作應用字彙。在實驗開始前,研究者先進行前測,採用了字彙知識自評表(Vocabulary Knowledge Scale)和一份作文題目以了解學生一開始的字彙知識及主要單字的使用情況。之後,研究者開始了為期十二週的教學活動,此活動分為三階段:呈現(Presentation)、練習(Practice)、應用(Production),每個階段皆採用不同的活動進行教學,並根據這四大原則來設計教導應用字彙的活動:刻意性、重複性、參與性、情境性。教學實驗過後,研究者進行後測以了解字彙知識的改變及主要單字的使用情況,並分析不同程度的學生作品,以了解學生實際的用字情況。 研究結果顯示,本教學活動能有效增進學生的辨識字彙能力及字彙的應用。字彙知識自評表顯示前後測分數有顯著性差異,在後測中,超過半數以上的單字進步到比前測更高的等級,而且有八個字進升到應用字彙的程度。百分之八十七的學生有把主要字彙用在他們的作文中,且正確的使用頻率及相關單字的使用也增加了,無論是新字或舊字,在後測的使用數量都是前測的兩倍。 / The current study experiments with a series of teaching activities for productive words to Taiwanese students at the senior high level. It aims to understand the changes of word knowledge and target word use after the experiment. In the beginning, a pre-test was administered with the help of two instruments, the Vocabulary Knowledge Scale and a writing prompt, to understand the students’ initial level. Then, the researcher conducted the teaching experiment for 12 weeks, which consisted of the Presentation, Practice, and Production stages. In each stage, the activities were designed based on four important principles for teaching productive words: intentional, repeated, involving, and contextualized. After the experiment, a post-test using the same instruments was carried out to analyze the changes of word knowledge and target word use. Moreover, individual writing products of different levels were analyzed to see the actual usage of words in the students’ writing. The results showed that the teaching experiment was effective in increasing the students’ receptive knowledge and productive use of the target words. The VKS scores of the pre- and post-test differed significantly. More than half of the words moved up to higher levels, and eight words moved to the productive level in the post-test. The students’ writing products also indicated a considerable increase in the use of target words in terms of the correct usages and related words. Eighty-seven percent of the students used the target words in the post-test. Moreover, the number of old and new words used doubled in the post-test.

Stavning i skolan : en studie av lärares uppfattning om stavningsundervisning och stavningsproblem i årskurs 4-9 / Spelling in school : a study of teachers' perceptions of the teaching of spelling and spelling problems in grades 4-9

Parnevall, Emelie, Pettersson, Sara January 2010 (has links)
Bakgrund: Vi har valt att titta på stavning utifrån två perspektiv. Det historiska perspektivet visar hur stavningen förändrats genom åren. Det är viktigt eftersom det än idag har betydelse för hur vi stavar. Nyare forskning visar olika forskares syn på stavning. En stor del i nyare forskning är skolverkets studie 2003 där de bland annat undersökt undervisningen i svenska och elevers kunskaper. Forskare visar att det finns yttre faktorer som påverkar vår stavning. Dialekter och datorn är två faktorer som påverkar stavningen både positivt och negativt. Stavning och skriftspråk har stor betydelse för varandra så vi har valt att plocka ut de delar som stämmer bäst överens med vår studie.   Syfte: Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka elevers stavningsproblem ur ett lärarperspektiv i årskurs fyra till nio. Utifrån syftet skapades följande två frågeställningar:   Finns det skillnader i stavningsundervisningen på de olika stadierna? Finns det skillnader i stavningsproblematiken mellan de olika stadierna?   Metod: Vi använder oss i vår uppsats av en kvantitativ metod som delvis består av kvalitativa frågor. Vi använder oss av en enkät undersökning som riktar sig till pedagoger i årskurs fyra till nio. Pedagogerna som svarat på enkäten arbetar i en Västsvensk kommun. Det är totalt 12 skolor, varav 9 F–sex-skolor och 3 sju–nio-skolor. 29 pedagoger medverkade i vår studie. Enkäten består av 17 frågor, varav 14 kvantitativa och 3 kvalitativa frågor. Resultatet har behandlats i tre omgångar. Vi delade upp varje stadie för sig innan vi gjorde en jämförande analys. Vi kategoriserade respondenternas svar och sedan försökt hitta likheter och skillnader i dessa.   Resultat: Resultatet behandlar stavning utifrån tre aspekter: Ordkunskap, inlärning och undervisning. Resultatet har delats upp i tre delar: årskurs 4–6, årskurs 7–9 och jämförande analys. Läsning, dialekter och kommunikationsverktyg har stor betydelse för elevers stavning. Läsning har positiv inverkan på stavning eftersom elever exponeras för ord. Oavsett elevers ålder kan man se att läsning spelar stor roll. Talspråk och skriftspråk har ibland en otydlig gräns. Elever stavar orden som de uttalas istället för att använda sig av skriftspråkets normer. Dialekter berikar vårt språk men kan samtidigt ses som en svårighet i stavningssammanhang. En stor del av vår vardag innebär kommunikation av olika slag. Barn och ungdomar kommunicerar bland annat genom sms och datorer. Vid denna typ av kommunikation använder de sig av ett förkortat språk. Dessa språk har stora influenser av talspråket men även av engelskan. Det har visat sig att elever använder sig av dessa språk även i skolan. Det påverkar deras stavning eftersom de hellre använder sig av dessa ord.

Target language captioned video for second language listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition

Cano, Clarissa Ysel 17 February 2015 (has links)
This report surveys existing literature in order to determine how best to implement target language captioned video in a classroom of a particular context: a Korean church in the U.S. whose members desire to improve their English language ability for the purpose of sharing the gospel of resurrection in English. In order to gain insight into the benefits and limitations of target language captioned video on second language listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition and thus how to use the learning tool optimally, literature is reviewed regarding word knowledge, processing strategies, and reported gains or effects of the use of captioned video. Then, incorporating the information gleaned from the literature, two sample lesson plans are presented utilizing the C-Channel English testimony videos as the primary tool for instruction. / text

Designing and implementing mobile-based interventions for enhancing English vocabulary in ODL

Shandu-Phetla, Thulile Pearl 06 1900 (has links)
Students in Open Distance Learning (ODL) face a myriad of challenges including a low proficiency in English. While research has identified vocabulary as important in improving language proficiency and the pertinent role of interaction in vocabulary development, there remains a dearth of research on how to enhance vocabulary in ODL, a context which is characterised by the distance between students and the institution. In searching for an intervention that would support vocabulary development, including interaction, while taking cognisance of the distance between students and lecturers, this study explored the use of mobile learning (mlearning). Because mlearning technologies offer ubiquitous flexibility and accessibility, they were deemed fit for purpose for ODL which is established on the principles of openness, flexibility and student‐centredness. Using the design‐based research (DBR) method within a pragmatic paradigm, this study designed, implemented and evaluated mobile‐based interventions for vocabulary development. The first phase of the study involved the analysis of the problem through a literature review. The literature and theoretical framework were used to ground the second phase of DBR, which included the development of the intervention prototype in the form of a mobile‐based vocabulary development app called VocUp. The intervention was implemented, tested and refined in three iteration stages, which formed the third phase of DBR. The iterations included a VocUp only stage, followed by a WhatsApp only stage, and ended with a VocUp plus WhatsApp stage. The last phase of DBR involved a reflection and a production of artefacts and guidelines for practice in ODL. Data were collected through interviews and WhatsApp chats from students registered for a first‐year English module. The results were 1) that vocabulary should be explicitly taught, allow for rehearsal opportunities and contain assessment while acknowledging the instrumental role of interaction; 2) mobile interventions should balance the pedagogic benefits with the technological qualities; and 3) the advantages and challenges of using WhatsApp and VocUp can be successfully combined into a hybrid model of both platforms. This study’s contribution to the body to knowledge includes the newly‐designed VocUp as an artefact; a revised model of the CoI theoretical framework called MODeL as well as principles guiding the application of the MODeL in authentic ODL contexts. / English Studies / D.
