摘要

英語繪本教學於全世界已行之有年，許多研究探討學生對於英語繪本之學習與反應；然而，甚少研究論及教師使用英語繪本之教學經驗，特別是在英語為第二語言或英語為外語的環境中。本研究旨在探討一名國小實習教師的教學經驗，在台灣一所國小中使用英語繪本教學所面臨的正向經驗與挑戰。本研究執行時間為一學期，並以質性研究呈現。研究資料蒐集包含課堂觀察、訪談、教案及教學省思。
　　研究結果顯示，實習教師於英語繪本教學中所知覺的正向經驗為：（1）建立教師自信；（2）增加師生互動；（3）激勵教師創新教學；（4）轉變教師角色。此外，實習教師於英語繪本教學中所面臨的挑戰為：（1）英語繪本之選擇；（2）英語繪本之內容；（3）教材種類之呈現；（4）個體學生之參與度。最後，根據上述研究結果，本研究提出一些方向與建議，包括選擇適當英語繪本、設計英語繪本相關之活動、提供開放式討論問題及促進教師專業成長，給未來有志於英語繪本教學之教師作為參考。

Teaching English picture books has long been practiced around the world. Much research has focused on the learning and reactions to English picture books from learners’ points of view. However, there has been relatively little research to investigate teachers’ experiences of teaching English picture books, particularly in ESL (English as a Second Language)/ EFL (English as a Foreign Language) context. The purpose of this case study was designed to explore one student teacher’s teaching experiences during the practicum, hoping to shed light on the positive experiences and challenges of teaching English picture books which a student teacher encountered in an elementary school in Taiwan. This case study was undertaken as a qualitative research, carried out for one semester. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, lesson plans, and teaching reflections.
　　The findings revealed that the student teacher perceived the positive experiences of teaching English picture books, which included (1) constructing the teacher’s confidence; (2) enhancing interaction between the teacher and students; (3) stimulating the teacher’s creative teaching; and (4) transferring the teacher’s role. On the other hand, the student teacher encountered some challenges of teaching English picture books, which included (1) the selection of English picture books; (2) the content of English picture books; (3) the presentation of teaching materials; and (4) the participation of individual student. Finally, several implications were drawn based on the findings of this study, including choosing appropriate English picture books, designing activities related to English picture books, supplying open-ended discussion questions, and facilitating a teacher’s professional growth.
