摘要

教育部於八十八年七月至九十三年十二月實施「推動高級中學第二外語教育五年計畫」。這五年來全國高中參與學校含公私立自八十七年的十七校一百四班，到九十二年度一百四校五百六十三班，增加五倍之多。但是依據教育部公布的資料，國立高中開設第二外語選修課程的學校，自90學年度的27校，至91學年度的28校，再至92學年度的24校；班級總數則自176班至111班而至106班。班級數三年來逐年減少，其中有值得探討的地方。
本研究探討公立高中第二外語課程之執行現況以及第二外語與語文學習成效之間的交互作用影響。前者除與個案高中行政人員深度訪談外，並以全國國立高中為母體，藉由分層隨機抽樣的方式取得執行層面的資料，據以歸納分析；後者以個案高中九十二學年度選修第二外語的學生之第二外語和語文成績作統計分析，觀察其間之交互作用影響程度。研究發現計有五點，分述如下：
一、公立高中第二外語外籍師資普遍缺乏。
二、國立高中第二外語教育開設選修課程的比率上，城鄉具有顯著差異。
　　三、高中學生面臨大學多元入學考試壓力，對於非聯考科目的學習並不積極，因而影響第二外語課程的選修意願。
四、第二外語選修生的國文、英文成績、學年成績與第二外語成績之間皆有顯著相關。其中學年成績與第二外語成績的相關，不論法語、日語，皆高於國文、英文。
　　五、在國文、英文或各科綜合的學科成績表現上，比起高一來，未選修第二外語的學生高二成績有向上提昇的態勢，選修第二外語者則出現退步的情形。可見學生因顧慮功課而抗議第二外語列為必選有可以理解之處，選修第二外語確實可能加重功課上的負擔，為學生的另一個壓力來源。

A “Five-Years Scheme for Promoting the Second Foreign Language Education in High School” has been implemented since July of 1999 till December of 2004 driven by Department Of Education. During the five years, high schools over the country - including private and public high schools that joined in this scheme increased with a five times of growth in quantity from 104 classes of 17 schools in 1998 to 563 classes of 104 schools in 2003. However, according to the information from Department of Education, the number of national high schools that provided minor courses of the second foreign language decreased from 27 schools of 2001 to 28 schools of 2002 and then to 24 schools of 2003; and the sum of classes that took such courses also decreased from 176 to 111 then to 106 separately. Thus, there is the need for exploring the reason of the decrease year by year in number of classes that took such minor courses in recent three years.
This study is to explore both the implementing situation of providing the second foreign language courses and the interaction between the second foreign language and the learning achievement of language in public high schools. As to the former, a thorough interview with the administrative staffs of specified high schools was done for getting administrative information by randomly sampling from the population of national high schools all over the country to proceed epagogic analysis. As to the latter, a statistic analysis was done by adopting the scores in courses of both the second foreign language and the main languages (mother language and the first foreign language) from students who took minor course of the second foreign language in academic year of 2003 to see the effects of interaction between concerning factors, and the founding is as following:
1. Short of qualified foreign teachers for courses of the second foreign language is the common problem in public high schools.
2. According to national high school, there exists distinct difference between cities/towns and countries on ratio of providing minor courses of the second foreign language.
3. Under the pressure of entrance examination for university, students often have little or no interest in learning the subjects outside the area of such examination, therefore, the willing of student’s taking minor courses of the second foreign language will be affected.
4. The score in course of Chinese, English, and the score in entire academic year from students who took minor course of the second foreign language have a significant correlation with the score in course of the second foreign language. The score in course of the second foreign language will have much effect on the score in entire academic year than the score in course of Chinese or English.
5. According to the learning achievement in course of Chinese, English, or synthetic courses in entire academic year, when compared with the first year, students who did not take the minor course of the second foreign language tended to have better achievement than students who took such minor course at the second year. Students’ protest against putting the second foreign language in the line of major courses seems to be understandable, because taking the minor course of the second foreign language could be an additional burden and another source of pressure to students.
