摘要

長期以來課堂上運用角色扮演活動來增進語言學習之目的，而且這樣的強化學習教學方式經常被使用，但是對於其效果或是否達到教學目標卻未真正的評量過。本論文透過研究課堂上所運用的角色扮演活動，探討衡量第二外語學習者最有效益之標準。首先將全幕話劇表演所產生之相關因素分門別類，再個別運用這些衡量標準於課堂一系列的短劇角色扮演之中，期能推斷出最有效的步驟與方法，使其套用於第二外語課堂中最普遍使用的活動之上。每一次的角色扮演皆不僅以前測和後測來評估學習者習得字彙與內容的程度，學習者亦必須填寫問卷調查。角色扮演活動的效益性隨著參與者之理解度與學習動機有所變動，而達到更深入了解課堂角色扮演有效的衡量標準及第二外語之學習方式。

The use of role play in the classroom for the purpose of language learning and practice has long been practiced. In many cases this learning/reinforcing methodology is done on a regular basis but is not truly examined as to its effectiveness or for the purpose of gauging different approaches for best application in regard to the teaching goals sought. This study examines role-play in the second language classroom to discover the most effective criteria for utilizing this activity. Having identified and categorized relevant factors from full-Iength drama presentations and then applying those criteria separately to a series of shorter classroom role-plays this research helps to determine if there is a useful comparison of the two different types of presentations and then in finding the most effective concerns, procedures, and methodologies for the small in-class role play based on the much more complex and long full-length play. For the purposes of gauging the effectiveness of each role play, each is accompanied by a pretest and a posttest to determine vocabulary and content acquisition as well as participant surveys. Effectiveness of the variations of role-play activity is correlated with participant perceptions and motivation levels to arrive at a more in-depth knowledge of effective role play criteria and methodology in the ESL classroom.
