中文摘要
隨著電腦科技的進步，越來越多的多媒體光碟軟體被應用在外語的學習上。在此同時，老師和學生們通常會發現，要決定哪個光碟軟體是對其學習語言是比較有用時是困難的。
另一方面，自從高中英文教科書市場開放後，許多新的版本教科書也發行出來。為了達到新課程的要求，新版教科書提供了各式各樣的溝通式的活動，其目標是增加學生使用英文的機會。教科書出版商也提供了許多輔助教材，例如習作、錄音帶、CD、掛圖、多媒體光碟等等，這其中多媒體光碟是本研究的興趣所在。課本的內容被轉換成多媒體光碟。這些多媒體光碟通常宣稱能提供互動式的學習，並且能提昇學習者聽說讀寫的語言能力。本研究所關心並感興趣的是藉由一份設計良好的評估表以及自我報告的調查問卷，來檢核並評估由遠東圖書公司所發行的多媒體光碟，此光碟主要作為其所發行的教科書的補充教材，希望能探討出此光碟的優缺點。此外，一些有關多媒體光碟學習的議題也在本研究中有所討論。
我們希望這個研究能突顯出遠東這片多媒體光碟的優點與限制。此外，我們希望此研究能提供一些有用的建議給語言教師，以使他們能有效地使用多媒體光碟教材，作為其平時正規課程之外的補充以及指導學生在家使用所購買的軟體。最後，這個研究也能提供一些有用的建議給教科書出版商和軟體設計者。

ABSTRACT
With the advancement of computer technology, more and more multimedia CD-ROM software is applied to foreign language learning. At the same time, teachers and learners often find it difficult to decide which program is more useful.
On the other hand, since the opening up of the senior high school English textbook market, many new versions of textbooks have been published. To meet the requirements of the new curriculum, the new versions of textbooks provide various kinds of communicative activities aimed at increasing student opportunities to use English. Textbook publishers also provide many supplementary teaching materials, such as workbooks, tapes, CDs, wall charts, multimedia CD-ROMs, etc…. Among them, multimedia CD-ROMs are the interest of this study. The printed issues of the textbooks are transformed into multimedia CD-ROM titles. These multimedia CD-ROMs usually claim to provide interactive learning and enable learners to enhance their four language skills. The main concern and interest of this study is to review and evaluate the CD-ROM published by the Far East Book Company as the supplementary media to their textbooks through a well-designed checklist and a self-report survey questionnaire to find out its strengths and weaknesses. In addition, some issues on multimedia CD-ROM learning are also discussed.
It is expected that this study will highlight the strengths and limitations of the multimedia CD-ROM under evaluation. In addition, it is hoped that this study can offer some useful suggestions to language teachers so that they may effectively use multimedia CD-ROM courseware both as a supplement to their regular course offerings and guide students in home use of purchased software. Finally, this study will be able to provide textbook publishing companies and courseware designers with some useful suggestions.
