任務型教學運用於外語教材教法課程中之成效：實習教師之觀點
The Effectiveness of Task-Based Approach in a Foreign Language Teaching Methods Course: From the Perspectives of Student Teachers
摘要
外語教材教法課程是外語師資專業訓練中重要的必修課程之ㄧ，透過理論和實務並重的任務型教學活動給予實習老師完整的訓練。本研究的目的旨在探究運用任務型教學於外語教材教法課程中的成效，主要藉由實習教師的教材教法測驗成果及他們對這些任務型教學活動的觀點來探討。此外，本研究亦調查幾個可能會影響這些實習教師在任務型教學活動中表現的因素。本研究所探討的任務型教學活動共有五種：設計教案、教學法理論口頭報告、課堂試教、檢討討論、自我反省與評量。 參與此研究的對象是修習台灣某研究所的外語教材教法課程的實習教師，共有十六位。研究資料蒐集包含問卷、紙筆測驗、口語教材教法測驗及訪談。在資料分析方面，本研究採用質化與量化的分析方法。主要的研究結果顯示，這五種任務型教學活動確實能夠幫助實習教師對教學法有較深的理解，而且大部分的實習教師對於這些任務型教學活動都持有正向的態度，並認為它們是教材教法課程中不可或缺的活動。另外，他們認為會影響他們活動表現的最大因素是對教學法的熟悉程度。這些研究結果幫助教師訓練者與師資培育機構對這些任務型教學活動的成效有深刻的了解。最後，此研究也提出一些方向與建議，給未來有志於研究任務型教學結合師資培育的研究者，以及教材教法課程設計者作為參考。

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using task-based approach in a Foreign Language Teaching Methods Course in terms of the student teachers’ performance on teaching methods/approaches tests and their perspectives toward the in-class teaching tasks. In addition, the factors that would influence the task performance were discussed. Participants in this study were student teachers who enrolled in the course in a graduate program in Taiwan. The data collection involved a questionnaire, written and oral teaching methods/approaches tests, and interviews. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used for data analyses. The major findings showed that the in-class teaching tasks did help the student teachers develop better understanding of the teaching methods/approaches. Most of the participants held positive attitudes toward the in-class teaching tasks that they believe were indispensable in the teaching methods course. Moreover, they considered the factor that would influence their task performance the most was the degree of the familiarity with the teaching method/approach. The results of the study help the teacher trainers and teacher training program gain insights into the in-class teaching tasks and their effectiveness in the teaching methodology course.
