近年來,隨著快速的國際化腳步,英文寫作在第二外語的習得上備受關切與注重,對高中生而言無論是升學或未來之生涯準備,英文書寫能力都是不可漠視的能力。
基於上述之原因,研究者遂著手參考相關的寫作教學書籍並參與大學入學考試中心英語文表達能力與全民英檢中級寫作測驗之評閱訓練,並以實務心得設計一套符合高中生的英文寫作教學實驗課程,期望英文寫作課不再是學生的夢魘與教師的沉重負擔。
壹、研究方法
(一) 本行動研究以國立新店高中八十六位高三的學生為本實驗教學之對象。以
研究者和國立台灣師範大學大蔡錫濤博士共同編製的高中英文作文態度量表,實施前測(90.9.14)和後測(實驗組:90.11.21,控制組:91.3.15)
(二) 以研究者自編的段落寫作和自由寫作教學活動設計問卷調查表和學生非結構式的訪談(實驗組:90.11.28, 控制組:91.3. 28) 作為本研究的輔助資料。
(三) 實施自由寫作之前測(實驗組和控制組:90.9.14),並請全民英檢中級寫作之評分員(國立新店高中張清秀老師和台北縣立安康完全中學劉淑惠老師)交互評閱學生作文,以求得客觀的寫作能力參照值。俟本研究課程結束,實施後測(實驗組:90.11.21, 控制組:91.3.15),並請全民英檢中級寫作之評分員:張老師和劉老師再次交互評閱學生作文以求得客觀的寫作能力參照值,以觀察學習者寫作能力是否增強。在評閱過程中,評分員對同一份作文試卷評閱分數不同時,則請第三位評分員再次評閱以示客觀公正。
貳、研究結果
(一) 任務取向的教學模式降低學習焦慮並促進學生的表達能力。
(二) 接受過過程寫作課程訓練的學生內在學習動機較強,寫作意願和自信心高於未接受過程寫作者。
(三) 學生英文作文常犯的錯誤是:
(1) 句型結構
(2) 用字
(3) 動詞和主詞的一致性、名詞和代名詞的一致性、名詞的單複數。
除以上顯著成效,本研究尚有以下幾點可為未來研究之進一步探討:
(一) 高中英文作文常犯錯誤之診斷。
(二) 同儕批閱在高文英文教學上之可行性與成效。
(三) 英文寫作課程的實施時間和其影響學生學習英文寫作之因素。
參、研究限制
由於本研究為實際教學情境中所進行之行動研究,因此本研究之限制即一般行動研究典型之限制。本研究僅以研究者所任教之兩個班級為對象,研究目的著重以學校本位課程之設計,探討學生在英語文寫作上遭遇的瓶頸,並以建構式取向的教學模式,引領學習者習得如何以英文適切地敘述事物、表達意見。因此,研究結果和發現雖具參考價值,若欲據以推論其在不同學校與不同程度學生之教學應用,尚需進ㄧ步探究。
Owing to its importance on Scholastic Aptitude English Test (SAET) or students’ future career needs, teaching writing in the EFL class has received more and more attention in recent years. The present research attempts to offer English teachers a useful and effective way to teach writing through investigating the effectiveness of process task-based writing curriculum.
Eighty-six students in the third year of National Hsin Tien Senior High School joined the study and a triangular approach was used as the methodology. The study have been tested through the statistical analysis of two kinds of questionnaires—The Writing Attitude Questionnaire and the Viewpoints of Writing Tasks, and two tests—Pre & Post Writing Proficiency Tests as well as one interview—semi-structured group interview. The conclusions noted: (1) Process writing reduces students’ anxiety while writing and facilitates students’ expression of ideas, (2) The Experiment Group shows higher intrinsic motivation, confidence, and willingness in writing composition, and (3) the major errors of students’ writing are related to sentence construction, word usage, agreement between verbs and subjects, between nouns and pronouns, and numerals. However, there are still some areas that need further investigation on: (1) the proper treatment of students’ errors, (2) the effectiveness to start peer revision in the senior high writing classroom, and (3) the crucial time to start writing instruction.
This study was conducted on a school-based and community-based writing curriculum executed only in one senior high school in Taipei County, Taiwan; therefore, the findings and conclusions might not apply to all senior highs in Taiwan. For wider implication and implementation, there should be further studies involving different students or different senior high schools.
