摘要

本研究研究目的乃是調查台中縣、苗栗縣教師們對九十學年度選用之教科書，使用一年後的滿意程度，並了解其九十一學年度教材選用情形。此外，有鑒於多數的研究都是以了解英語教師選用教材時所考量的主觀因素為研究目的，探討教師的選擇行為。少有研究針對教科書內容做分析比較。因此本研究另一研究目的乃是了解教科書開放審定制後，國小英語教科書的「內容」是否多元化，以及教科書之間的差異性是否隨著教科書內容的延續而遞減等議題。本研究乃選取台中縣使用率排名前五名的教科書，就其字彙總數、字母拼讀的涵蓋範圍、主題、句型等方面比較分析。分析比較的結果顯示，各教科書於字彙總數、字母拼讀的涵蓋範圍、主題、句型等方面都存在著差異。教科書的多元化雖是達成政府當初開放教材編寫的目標。但教科書多元化所帶來的影響及問題：如在各校英語課時數大同小異的情況下，教科書字彙量主題、句型等方面的差異性，不但關係著教師教學進度的安排，各校學生學習的內容差異，甚至未來與國中英語教學銜接等問題。所影響之層面甚廣，應於予正視，作妥善完備的規劃。

Textbook selection is essential in language teaching. Ever since the Ministry of Education proposed the educational reform, starting English education from grade 5, the number of ELT textbooks has been increasing. To better understand teachers' rationale for textbook selection and to help teachers select a suitable textbook from the many available, one needs to examine not only the criteria that teachers follow in selecting a textbook (i.e., how) but also the contents of the textbook that teachers selected (i.e., what). However, relatively little research has been done to analyze and compare the content of different textbooks. The purpose of this study is four-fold: 1) to survey teachers' satisfaction level with the textbooks used in the academic year 2001, 2) to understand the decision-making process of elementary English teachers in selecting a textbook for the academic year 2002, 3) to find out the most popular ELT textbooks used in Taichung and Miao-li County in the academic year 2002, and 4) to analyze and compare the content of five ELT textbooks. It was found that while teachers seem to have a consensus on the relative weight each criterion carries, the textbooks chosen by teachers are not identical. Moreover, the analysis of five selected textbooks shows differences in the total number of vocabulary covered, sentence patterns and themes covered among textbooks.
