摘要

近年來利用電子書提升第二語言學習日漸廣泛，但現存研究還未能找出最佳數位內容的呈現模式以及不同閱讀輔助對學習行為與成效之影響。因此，本研究以眼動追蹤法（eye-tracking）針對52位英語為第二語之高階學習者在兩種呈現模式（同時呈現、序列呈現）與六種閱讀輔助（三種局部理解：字彙字義註解、重點字彙剖析（包含型、義、語用資訊）、註腳；三種整體理解：插圖、資訊圖表、照片）不同閱讀情境下的眼動行為進行分析。本研究發現，當以第二語學習者以字彙習得為閱讀目的時，他們會花更多凝視時間聚焦在重點字彙剖析與字彙字意註解上；但是第二語學習者以理解為閱讀目的時，則花更多的凝視時間在插圖分析上。此外，序列呈現模式（數位內容逐步呈現）則引導第二語學習者花更多的凝視時間，聚焦在重點字彙剖析上；這也代表在此模式下，受試者比較注意局部輔助資訊，閱讀目地也偏向以字彙習得為主。整體而言，本研究證明電子書學習第二外語之有效性，同時也發現在兩種電子語料呈現模式和不同閱讀目的下，六種多媒體輔助對閱讀行為的影響有相對顯著的差異。最後，根據本研究成果，本論文提出針對教師、電子書使用者以及電子書出版商對於閱讀教學之建議、並針對未來研究提供建議。

Abstract

Employing the eye-tracking technology, this study probed the online reading behaviors of advanced L2 English learners reading for vocabulary acquisition and comprehension. Fifty-two university students with advanced L2 (English) proficiency read an e-book containing six types of multimedia supports for either vocabulary acquisition or comprehension. The six multimedia supports consisted of three micro-level supports that provided information about specific words (glosses, vocabulary focus, and footnotes), and three macro-level supports that provided global or background information (illustrations, infographics, and photos). The participants read the e-book under two input presentation modes frequently seen in instructional e-books: 1) simultaneous mode: where digital input and supports were presented at the same time; and 2) sequential mode: where the digital content and supports were incrementally presented. Analyses of the participants' total fixation duration showed that vocabulary focus and glosses were significantly fixated on when reading for vocabulary acquisition, and illustrations were more intensely fixated on when reading for comprehension. Additionally, vocabulary focus received significantly higher total fixation duration when the digital content was incrementally presented. This suggests that reading under the sequential presentation mode has the potency to guide L2 learners' conscious attention toward micro-level supports that encompass lexical form, meaning, and use. This study confirmed the effectiveness of multimedia learning, while illustrating significant distinctions between the relative contributions of micro-level and macro-level multimedia supports under different literacy purposes and presentation modes. Based on the findings of this study, L2 learners' online e-book reading behaviors and pedagogical implications are discussed.
