  • 近年來,傳統教材與創意輔助教材的結合已然成為趨勢,本研究之目的主要 係探討研究生於口譯課程中,將卡通動畫作為其輔助教材之相關應用情形。過去 雖已有許多研究針對各種應用於口譯訓練的教材進行探討,然目前對於將卡通動 畫作為口譯訓練的輔助教材之相關研究甚少。本研究即透過回答以下兩個研究問 題,彌補此領域之研究缺口:(1)學生在口譯課程中對於卡通動畫的看法為何? (2)卡通動畫如何影響學生的學習動機與表現?本研究之研究對象為十三名來 自臺灣北部一所科技大學之碩士課程口譯班主修英文的學生,輔助教材則為一美 國成人科幻情境喜劇系列動畫『瑞克和莫蒂』。本研究係採混合方法分析多個來 源的數據,包含半結構式訪談、基於 ARCS 動機模式(注意力、相關性、信心、 滿意度)所設計之線上問卷,並將期中、期末評鑑分別作為本研究之前、後測。 研究結果指出,將卡通動畫作為輔助教材應用於口譯課程中,不僅可成功緩解口 譯課程中的緊張氛圍,甚至有效提高學生於課堂上的注意力,進而使學生對自身 更具信心,並因此有更好的口譯表現。


    A trend towards combining traditional teaching materials with creative supplementary educational materials emerges in recent years. The purpose of the study is to investigate the application of using animated cartoon as supplementary teaching materials in the interpretation class on graduate students. Previous studies have proposed the use of various materials in interpreter training. However, very few of them have investigated the use of animated cartoon as supplementary teaching materials in students’ interpreting training. To bridge this gap, two research questions are proposed: (1) What were the students’ perceptions of animated cartoons in an interpreting class? (2) How did animated cartoon influence students’ motivation and performance? The series “Rick and Morty”, an American adult animated science fiction sitcom, was chosen as the supplementary teaching materials in this study. Thirteen English major students from an interpretation class of an MA program at a university of science and technology in Northern Taiwan participated in this class design. A mixed-method was applied to collect and analyze the data from multiple sources including a semi-structured interview, an online questionnaire which was designed based on ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction) model of motivational theories, mid-term and final exam, which was applied as pre-test and post-test in the study. The results indicated that applying animated cartoon as supplementary teaching materials in an interpretation class not only successfully released the nervous atmosphere during the class but also significantly raised students’ attention in interpreting, therefore, leading students to have more confidence in themselves and hence perform better.
