臺灣自1970年加入國際技能競賽迄今,每屆均有卓越的表現。經過激烈的全國賽所選拔出來的汽車技術職類國手,堪稱技壓群倫;然而面臨以英語為官方語言的國際技能競賽時,語言的隔閡對部分選手造成競賽的障礙,導致其競賽時產生焦慮感及不安定性,面對競賽的測驗項目以及來自國際裁判的提問,無法隨機應變、遇到非預期狀況時,缺乏臨場反應,使得選手無法真正發揮專業技能實力,這不僅是選手個人的遺憾,也是國家的損失。 本文的目的在建構一個英文語言溝通訓練模式(附錄2),增進臺灣選手在國際技能競賽過程中之英文口語溝通表達能力。以國際技能競賽的語言環境為指標,協助選手建構、組織技能競賽溝通時所需的基本英文字彙、文本、句型;教學概念主要採納兩種教學法: 後設認知教學法、跨語言溝通策略;佐以資訊融入教學的工具性輔助;訓練的執行模式兼容並蓄兩大原則: 英語教學,技能競賽溝通導向訓練,藉由教材的選用、教學場所配置的專業設備,以模擬國際技能競賽的實際狀況,以及角色扮演的方式來進行教學活動,依此模式訓練下,本職類於42參賽國中獲得銅牌獎。 為了記錄選手的學習歷程,本文收錄選手的英語學習日誌於附錄3內;在附錄4收錄選手遠赴國外參加技能競賽之後,針對本英語溝通訓練模式之學習成效,對選手及隨行教練進行個別訪談,著手資料的收集,以瞭解關於國際技能競賽的活動情況、選手本身參賽經驗的觀察與理解、以及競賽影響選手所產生的想法及感受,作為日後改善本訓練模式之參考。
