  • 本研究旨在探究國中階段以英語為外國語的青少年學習者的聽力焦慮、聽力策略運用與聽力表現之間的關係。研究對象為台北地區三所國中共二百一十一名學生;研究工具共三項:有聽力焦慮量表、聽力策略問卷與聽力測驗。研究方法為量化分析。
    研究結果有:
    一、台北地區國中階段英語學習者的聽力焦慮為中等。
    二、補償策略是學生最常使用的聽力策略,最少使用的是情感策略。
    三、低焦慮的學生比起高焦慮學生使用更多聽力策略,尤其以補償與記憶策略最為明顯。
    四、低焦慮的學生在聽力測驗表現較高焦慮學生為佳,特別是在圖片題與對話題文類。
    五、經相關關係分析後發現:聽力焦慮與(一)整體聽力表現、(二)在對話題文類的聽力表現、(三)整體聽力策略運用、(四)補償、記憶、後設認知三類的聽力策略運用,呈現負相關。
    六、學生的聽力焦慮可以預測其聽力表現。
    本研究亦同時討論到給英語教學人員與課程及測驗設計者的一些建議:建議英語教學人員將後設認知策略教學與聽力輔助融入教學,如此可以期待提升學生的聽力表現與降低其聽力焦慮。對於聽力課程設計人員的建議則是編寫與設計後設認知策略教學活動與真實英語聽力輸入於課程內。對英語測驗設計者的建議則是以圖片題文類取代單句問答文類。


    The present study explores the relationships among anxiety, strategy employment, performance, as well as performance in three text types on listening among adolescent EFL learners in junior high schools in Taipei area. A total of 211 students were recruited in the study in which the foreign language listening anxiety scale (FLLAS), a listening strategy questionnaire, and a listening comprehension test were implemented. Data collected were analyzed via SPSS 17.0 with execution of T tests, a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and a multiple regression analysis.
    Results of the study showed that: (1) Students in the Taipei area possessed moderate listening anxiety; (2) Compensation strategies were the most frequently utilized listening strategies among students, and affective strategies were reported the least applied ones; (3) Students of low anxiety significantly utilized more listening strategies than students of high anxiety, especially compensation and memory strategies; (4) Students of low anxiety performed significantly better than students of high anxiety, particularly in the text types of picture questions and conversations; (5) Listening anxiety was found to negatively correlated with (a) overall listening performance, (b) listening performance in conversation texts, (c) overall strategy utilization, and (d) employment of compensation, memory, and metacognitive listening strategies; (6) Listening anxiety of a learner could be regarded as a predictor for his/her listening performance.
    Suggestions for language practitioners and listening curriculum and assessment designers were also discussed in the present study. Metacognitive instruction and listening support were suggested to language practitioners to facilitate performance and alleviate anxiety of learners. To listening curriculum designers, metacognitive strategy instruction and authentic listening input were intimated. Picture questions (statements with visual aids) were suggested to listening assessment designers as an ideal replacement for the text type of statements.
