摘要

許多研究顯示,在英語為外國語言的教室中實施以文化導向為中心的教學對學習者而言不僅在語言方面有正向的成效,在文化認知上更有良好的提升。然而,文化教學對於英語補救教學成效的影響則有待觀察。本研究旨在探討文化教材融入英語補救教學對台灣英語低成就之國中學生之成效,包含學生在英語能力學習上整體及個別項目的成就,以及學生對於文化教學的學習態度及想法。本研究之參與者為12位台灣北部某所國中之國一學生,這些學生105學年上學期的英語課程不及格(總成績45到59之間)。此研究為期10周,從民國106年四月八日至民國106年六月十日止,共實施了12堂英語融入文化教學的補救課程。課程的教師即為本研究之研究者。所蒐集之資料包含學生英文測驗之前、後測、學習態度問卷調查、焦點團體訪談、以及學生所寫的周記。研究者在蒐集到資料後,透過前、後測來比較學生在授課後學業成就上的進展;問卷用來評估文化教材對學生學習態度上的影響;焦點團體訪談及學生周記之資料提供了學生對於文化教材融入補救教學中的深入看法。研究結果顯示,文化教材融入英語補救教學不僅對學生之學業進展及學習態度上有明顯正向之影響,此種教學方式亦可提供其他英語教師參考,能夠提供符合低成就學生需求之補救課程,並有效地運用創新的自編教材做為授課內容。

關鍵字: 文化、英語為外國語言、學習態度、學習成就、補救教學


ABSTRACT (English)

It is well-documented that cultural-oriented instructions work well in English as Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms not just linguistically, but also culturally. However, how culture teaching can affect the outcome of English remedial instructions remains to be seen. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the integration of culture teaching into a remedial English course to a group of junior high school low achievers, including the students’ overall learning achievement along with their learning attitudes toward the instructions. Twelve seventh graders who have failed the English subject in the first semester of the 2016-17 school year with the grade from 45 to 59 comprised the participants of this study. 12 remedial English cultural-oriented instructions were carried out by the researcher during a period of 10 weeks from April 8th, 2017 to June 10th, 2017. The data collected in this study were pre- and post-tests, learning attitude questionnaires, focus group interviews and participants’ weekly journals. Findings were reported from data collected through the assessment of the pre-test and the post-test to determine the progress and compare the achievement levels from before and after the instruction. Questionnaires were used to assess the effect upon learning attitudes toward the use of cultural-oriented materials. Finally, focus group interviews and weekly journals were used to provide a more in-depth understanding of the participants’ thoughts on cultural-oriented materials and their implications in a remedial instruction. The results were significantly positive. It also enhanced the notion that EFL teachers can teach low-achieving students effectively by designing materials that utilize innovative approaches aim to best fit the needs of the students.

Key words: Culture, EFL, learning attitudes, learning achievement, remedial instruction
