  • 研究指出,聆聽故事(Elley, 1989, 1991)和自由閱讀(Cho & Choi, 2008)對英語為外國語言(EFL)學童的字彙學習有正向助益。而聆聽故事後的補充活動更被認為是有效學習中不可或缺的一環(Kim, 2003)。然而,有些研究發現這些活動並不如預期的有效率(Mason & Krashen, 2004; Smith, 2011)。
    本研究旨在探討三種不同的英語故事教學方法對於國小三年級學童字彙習得的影響。這三種英語故事教學方法分別為:強調字彙的故事教學(S+W) (Mason, 2005, 2007)、故事教學搭配各式補充活動 (S+A) (Amiryousefie & Kassaian, 2010)、以及故事教學搭配自由閱讀(S) (Wang & Lee, 2007)。其中,初探研究為三個故事教學的短期研究,而主要研究則是為期一學期的長期研究。
    初探研究的研究對象為六十六位學童,在第一節課所有三組皆聆聽主要故事,但S+W組在說故事的過程中會強調關鍵字彙的學習。在接下來的兩堂課,S+A組複習主要故事並搭配各式補充活動,而其他兩組則是聆聽其他兩個故事並搭配使用英語圖書館進行自由閱讀。研究期間蒐集前後測及延宕測驗成績,了解字彙進步狀況;並進行課堂觀察、教學紀錄、問卷,以分析各組師生互動和學童對於不同故事教學方法的態度。結果顯示S+W組在字彙習得上表現最佳,在延宕測驗中,其效率為S+A組的八倍。至於S組,聆聽更多故事且師生有更多互動的狀況下,表現穩定且持續進步。
    主要研究的研究對象人數大約為初探研究的兩倍,共134名學童,其三種故事教學方法和初探研究相同。本次研究目的為探討長期的故事教學在學校課程上是否可行,以及其結果是否和初探研究所得相同。研究結果發現,由於S組在課堂中、自由閱讀和課後時間,對於故事教學有正向的態度與積極的閱讀習慣,因此此組在延宕測驗中的表現和S+A組並無顯著差異(P =0.813),其字彙學習效率更是S+A組的三倍。S+W組因為強調字彙,所以在短期研究上表現良好;但長期研究中顯示,沒有持續的閱讀習慣,並無法維持此項優勢。
    結論指出,故事教學補充活動的價值和意義必須重新檢視,教師對於教學時間的安排也必須重新思考。在課程規劃上,廣泛地運用繪本進行故事教學,能使學童在愉悅的學習環境中接收到更多可理解輸入(comprehensible input),並能更有效率地習得字彙。


    Research has shown that listening to stories (Elley, 1989, 1991) and free voluntary reading (Cho & Choi, 2008) have positive effects on vocabulary acquisition among EFL Children. The value of supplementary activities after storytelling has also caught great interest in the field, believed to be crucial for systematic teaching and learning (Kim, 2003). Some studies, however, found that these activities may not be as efficient as expected (Mason & Krashen, 2004; Smith, 2011).
    This study compared the effects and efficiency of three storytelling approaches on EFL third graders’ vocabulary acquisition: Storytelling with word focus (S+W) (Mason, 2005, 2007), storytelling followed by supplementary activities (S+A) (Amiryousefie & Kassaian, 2010), and followed by more stories and free reading (S) (Wang & Lee, 2007). The pilot study was a short term study with only three stories told to children, whereas the main study was a longer term study lasting a whole semester.
    In the first session of the pilot study, three classes including 66 students listened to the target story, but Group S+W also focused on the words to be tested later. In the following two sessions, Group S+A aimed at target story review and language exercises when the others listened to two more stories and read more books in the English library prepared for free reading. A pretest-posttest design involving a delay test was used. Classroom observation, teaching notes, and a self-developed questionnaire were conducted to examine children-instructor interaction and students’ attitudes toward the version of storytelling assigned to each group. The result showed that Group S+W had the highest vocabulary gain right after storytelling, and performed eight times better than Group S+A on word acquisition efficiency after a month. Furthermore, Group S students improved slightly but steadily, and had more time to hear different stories with more interaction.
    The main study was developed based on this three-story pilot study; now nine stories were told to participants twice more than in the pilot study (N = 134). In the main study, the same three approaches investigated in the pilot study were examined again. The purpose was to see if longer term of storytelling is feasible in a school-based curriculum and if the results obtained in the pilot study would be replicated. The major findings of the main study indicated that, because of the positive attitudes toward storytelling in class, during the free reading time, and after school, there was no significant difference between Group S+A and Group S (P=0.813) in the delayed test. Group S even had the best efficiency rate which is three times better than Group S+A. Group S+W might reinforce word acquisition in the short term; however, this advantage fades without a sustained reading habit in this long term experiment.
    Accordingly, the value of post-storytelling activities and practice must be reappraised. Teachers should reconsider class time arrangements and enhance storytelling by integrating picture books into the syllabus so as to help EFL children obtain more comprehensible input and acquire vocabulary words with better efficiency more pleasantly.
