九年一貫國中英語教學活動設計之研究

Abstract

九年一貫為近年台灣教育之一大改革，此九年一貫課程對英語教學影響至鉅。民國九十年九月起，英文首度成為國小五年級的正式課程，一些地區（如台北市）甚至將英語課程提前到小學三年級實施。再者，部編本教科書的廢除，使得教科書得以開放民間廠商編訂、出版。如此一來，在不同的區域的學生，可能在不同的年級開始學習不同的教科書，導致國中英語教師對於必須要面臨差異性極大的學至感到十分憂心。\r\n 本研究致力於發展一套九年一貫課程中設計英語教學活動之可行模式，並探索根據此模式所設計之英語教學活動是否能引起學生動機，加強溝通能力，強化英文能力，發展多元智慧，弭平學生問的差異性？並探討學生對於這樣的活動的反應如何？\r\n 本研究採質性研究方式，研究對象為33名國申生研究者依所研究的模式設計出六個活動計劃，每一活動計劃中含數個小型活動，研究資料採集自兩份問卷，經常性的訪談、學習單、回饋單及自評互評表，再加以分析整理出研究結果。結果發現這些活動皆能引起學生的學習動機與興趣，學生的反應也很正面。\r\n 本研究結果、與所設計之教學活動可供九年一貫課程之國中英語教師採用與參考。

The 9-Year Consecutive Curriculum is a big educational reform in Taiwan. It has had great impact on the English teaching since it was effective. In September 2001, English for the first time began to be a required course at fifth grade level in primary school.
