摘要
由於文法翻譯法以及考試導向的學習方法使台灣大學生在英文口說方面往往沒有好的表現(Lin, 1995)。近期的研究指出使用同步網路文字溝通能促進英文口說的學習，本研究旨在使用兩種變數分別是學習成果及科技接受模式探討通訊軟體LINE用於增進英文口說能力的成效，研究對象為35名台灣中部某科技大學應用英語系學生，運用LINE線上群組討論每週一個主題的方式進行，本研究採用量化及質性的研究方法，並採用多種管道蒐集數據包含學期初及學期末的多益口說模擬測驗(前後測)、每週LINE的聊天紀錄、課後問卷、學生對於線上群組討論的想法、半結構式訪談及課室觀察，前後測的分數使用t檢定分析，問卷使用敘述性統計分析，質性數據使用內容分析法分析，研究結果指出，使用LINE線上群組討論幫助學生增進英文口說能力，除此之外，學生的英文單字能力及閱讀能力也提升了。針對未來研究提出相關的建議。第一，研究者可針對學生的英語能力將學生分為高分組及低分組；第二、研究者可以結合口語練習與LINE線上群組討論以幫助英文口語能力更加提升。 關鍵字：EFL、英文口說能力、LINE、線上群組討論、學習成效、科技接受模型、同步網路文字溝通

Because of the implementation of grammar-translation teaching method and test-oriented English as Foreign Language (EFL) learning, Taiwanese university students are not motivated and competent in English speaking (Lin, 1995). Recent studies conducted on text-based SCMC have suggested that it may facilitate learning processes and is beneficial to enhance English speaking skills. This study aimed to investigate the effect of using LINE as a conversation tool to enhance the English speaking skills in an EFL classroom by looking into two variables: learning outcomes and technology acceptance. The participants were 35 EFL students in a technological university in Central Taiwan. They were instructed to use LINE to discuss English topics in an online chatting group specifically created for this research weekly. The data was collected through the scores of pre- and post-test of two sets of TOEIC simulation speaking tests, the chat logs, the end of term survey, the opinions of the participants, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations by the researcher. The scores of TOEIC simulation speaking tests were analyzed by t-test and the survey was analyzed by descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. Content analysis was used for analyzing qualitative data. The results showed that it is helpful for students to improve their speaking skills by using LINE as a conversation tool. It also helped improve students’ vocabularies and reading skills. It is suggested that future studies divide students into high-achievement and low-achievement groups, and combine oral practice with an online group chatting as course activities.
