Toastmasters Clubs in Taiwanese Universities

臺灣的大學校園內的國際演講會

摘要


國際演講會致力於提升會員的溝通與領導技巧,它是在這方面的全球最大的非營利組織。臺灣的大學內的第一個國際演講會,是由國立臺灣大學於一九九七年設立。至今全臺各大學內已陸續設立了約二十個以英語為語言的國際演講會,其中十六個尚在正常營運中。由於多數學生加入此社團的主要目的是為了加強英語的表達能力,相信英語老師們會有興趣深入瞭解此社團的運作情形。國際演講會能有效的讓學生增進英語能力的原因之一,是採用了一些素被讚揚的語言學習理論,如「溝通學習」和「以學習者為中心」等。本研究旨在瞭解臺灣的大學校園內的國際演講會的實際運作情形,透過問卷整理出營運成功的要訣和遭遇的一些困難等。希望供英語老師們參考,並希望英語老師們盡力給予此社團最大的支持。

並列摘要


Toastmasters International is the largest non-profit international organization dedicated to enhancing communication and leadership skills. Taiwan’s first university Toastmasters Club (TMC) was chartered at National Taiwan University in 1997. Since then, about 20 university Toastmasters Clubs have been chartered in Taiwan, 16 of which are still up and running. The main reason university students join such clubs is to improve their English speaking; teachers of English may therefore be interested in knowing more about this type of club. Many Toastmasters Clubs have used approaches and methods taken from foreign language teaching, such as the communicative approach and learner-centered learning. The aim of this paper is to describe how university TMCs are run in Taiwan, and discuss the best ways for teachers to support campus TMCs.
