教程設計:啟發台灣國中生英語會話能力

Abstract

中文摘要

台灣基本教育將英語規劃為兒童學習領域中極為重要的一環，基本課綱隨社會變化及需求而更動，為求給孩子最好的學習環境與動力。然而課綱雖以學生自主學習、興趣及動機為主要提升英語能力為導向，但以研究者經歷來說，似乎並沒有太大的效果。在英語四大能力聽、說、讀、寫中，尤以口說、寫作能力最為弱勢。研究者以自身經驗與工作環境比擬，其實口說能力在國中階段就漸漸被師生遺忘，因缺乏練習和經驗而對口說感到恐懼。

為此，本研究欲探討，如何使現下國中學生輕鬆，且具動力的接觸、學習英文口說，進而結合所學，運用課本及自創教具，由研究者試去策畫一系列的國中生適用課程，以啟發他們的英語會話能力，對於開口說英文不再感到陌生及壓力，並且進行試驗，這樣的學習方法對於國中生是否有效。

經課堂訓練及問卷分析後，研究結果如下： 1. 於興趣中學習，學生在課堂中能夠有效學習英語口說 2. 學生不再對英語口說感到陌生 3. 對於自己的英文感到更加有自信
