| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | 本研究旨在探討臺灣的大學生連接詞的理解與使用。除比較大學生對「句內」及「句間」連接詞的使用外，所閱讀文章內容的熟悉與否是否影響其使用連接詞，以及英文能力與連接詞使用能力之間的相關性，也是本研究的重點所在。 | zh_TW |
| dc.description.abstract (摘要) | The present study was designed to investigate college-level Chinese students` use of English conjunctions at the intra- and inter-sentential levels, the interaction of content familiarity and use of conjunctions, and the relationship between English proficiency and ability to use conjunctions. It aimed at understanding their weakness in using conjunctions and in comprehending expository texts, and thus providing some pedagogical implications for teaching English conjunctions and reading comprehension. | en_US |
