摘要

本研究主要注重於描述及探討台灣大學生與美國母語人士經由同步與非同步討論與電腦視訊會議來學習英語文之情形。主要目的在於探究使用電腦視訊及其相關科技是否真能輔助語言學習，並瞭解參與學生及老師之觀點。 本研究的研究對象為淡江大學英文系一年級的學生，與美國大學進行之遠距交流，資料收集將包含每次視訊會議的學生回饋、教師意見、研究者會議記錄、線上討論區之互動語料與往來之電子郵件以深入探討本論文之研究問題。 本研究可提供未來遠距語言學習之參考資料，並提供更多值得研究之方向。

This study focused on the intercultural communication between Taiwanese college students and American native English speakers by means of synchronous and asynchronous technologies, such as videoconferencing and online discussion forum.
The researcher investigated the educational value, usefulness, and acceptability of technology-related language learning tools (i.e., online discussion board, videoconferencing), and to what extent these tools facilitated the Taiwanese adult language learners. In addition, the Taiwanese learners’ and instructors’ perceptions of the use of such kinds of instructional tools were also explored. The collected data included pre-and post- videoconferencing activities questionnaires, evaluation sheets after each videoconferencing activity, interview transcripts, video recordings, and the researcher observation journals. The results of this study were fruitful for educators in selecting and evaluating alternative learning tools to facilitate English language learning.
