摘要

本研究旨在探討科技大學英語閱讀能力高及低者英語學習策略使用之不同。本研究以119位中台灣某一科技大學之不同系科大一學生為研究對象，並採行量的研究方法，進行英語學習策略之問卷施測及英語閱讀能力測驗檢定。研究結果顯示，閱讀能力較高的大一學生使用英語學習策略之頻率高於閱讀能力較差的大一學生。其中，有四項主要學習策略及15個分項策略之使用頻率不同皆達到顯著水準。本研究最後將進一步討論學習策略使用與閱讀能力不同的可能性，並且提供未來研究之建議。

This study explored the differences between high and low reading proficiency students in terms of language learning strategies in Taiwanese context. A total of 119 freshmen with various majors in one university in central Taiwan participated in the present study. With the use of the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning Questionnaire (SILL) and the administration of the reading section of the General English Proficiency Test (GEPT), the results indicated that high English reading proficiency students had a significantly higher average frequency in overall strategy use in four strategy categories than did low English reading proficiency counterparts. Specifically, high English proficiency students used 15 strategies significantly more frequently than low English proficiency counterparts. Such differences were discussed; meanwhile, suggestions for further research were provided at the end of the study.
