摘要

英語畢業公演對於主修英語的學生而言是相當常見的活動。然而，有很少的研究著重於畢業公演對於學生在學習英語認知上的改變。因此，本研究旨在探討學生對於英語學習的認知在自我意識、動機、熟練度、以及信心等方面，受到排練畢業公演的影響。本研究以問卷、訪談以及學生對於畢業公演排演五個月以來的省思等方式，對七位主修英語的台灣大四學生進行研究。
研究結果顯示，一些學生的動機有所提升，他們覺得自己的英文變得較流利、發音也變得較佳。此外，他們對於自己的英語發音以及能夠在公開場合說英文的信心也有所提升。另外，適當的建議和不斷的練習就某方面來說，對學生有正面的影響。
總而言之，英語畢業公演除了可以用來訓練學生的英語發音以外，他們的英語口說也能因此變得較流利。除此之外，畢業公演也能增進學生的信心以及他們學習英語的動機。

An English graduation play is very common all-inclusive activity for English-majored students. However, there are a few studies which focus on the effect of a graduation play toward students’ perception change on English learning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how students’ perception on English learning was influenced, in range of awareness, motivation, proficiency and confidence by doing the rehearsal for a graduation play. The participants were seven English-majored senior university students in Taiwan. During the five months of the rehearsal, the questionnaires, semi-structured interviews and reflections of the rehearsal were carried out for the data collection. The result shows that the perception change was seen on some parts. The participants were aware of the important elements for speaking English by watching others’ speaking in the rehearsal. Some participants’ motivation was promoted. They felt they can speak more smoothly and their pronunciation became better. In addition, their confidence in pronunciation and public speaking were promoted. Noticing about English issues, receiving appropriate advice and repeated practice for the performance affected the participants’ perception in some positive way. From the result, a graduation play can be used to train students’ pronunciation and speaking fluency in an organized speech, and facilitate their motivation on learning English and build their confidence.
