本研究旨在探討英語繪本教學應用在字母拼讀教學,對國小二年級學童英語學習成就(聲韻覺識、認字與拼字)之影響,及瞭解此種教學對高學習成就學生與低學習成就學生在字母拼讀學習之影響差異。 本研究以準實驗(quasi-experiment design)進行,以隨機分組的方式,選取台中市某一國小兩班二年級學童,一班為實驗組,一班為控制組,皆進行英語學習成就測驗之前測,並依施測結果各自選出高學習成就與低學習成就之學生,共四組。實驗組以英語繪本的方式進行每週40分鐘,為期十二週之字母拼讀教學,而控制組則進行一般字母拼讀教學。兩組皆由研究者擔任教學。實驗課程完成後,四組同學均需接受英語學習成就測驗之後測(聲韻覺識、認字與拼字能力測驗)。測量結果以描述統計與二因子變異數進行統計分析。主要之研究發現如下: 一、 在字母拼讀學習成就測驗之表現,不論是在總分與三層面(聲韻覺識、認字、拼字)上,接受英語繪本字母拼讀教學法之學生,其表現皆優於接受一般字母拼讀教學法之學生。 二、 兩種不同的教學法,對學生「聲韻覺識」與「認字」能力有顯著的差異,顯示英語繪本字母拼讀教學對學生聲韻覺識及認字能力皆有明顯的教學效果;然而不同的教學法,對學生「拼字能力」表現無顯著的差異,顯示英語繪本字母拼讀與一般字母拼讀對拼字能力的教學成效,無顯著的差異。 三、 先備學習成就的高與低會顯著地影響字母拼讀學習成就表現,包含三層面:聲韻覺識、認字及拼字能力。對於高先備學習成就學生而言,不論是接受英語繪本字母拼讀教學或是一般字母拼讀教學,其字母拼讀學習成就的表現並未達顯著差異,且皆顯著地優於低先備學習成就的學生。 四、 對於低先備學習成就學生而言,英語繪本字母拼讀教學對於其在「聲韻覺識」及「認字」的表現皆顯著優於一般字母拼讀教學。但在「拼字」的表現,不論是接受英語繪本字母拼讀教學或是一般字母拼讀教學,「拼字」的表現並未達顯著差異。英語繪本字母拼讀教學對提昇「拼字」能力未達顯著之效果。 最後,研究者根據本研究結果,對國小英語教師與學校行政提出一些建議,以作為教師在英語教學方面以及未來相關研究之參考。
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of English picture books on second graders’ phonics-learning and to understand different effects between high and low English achievers. Using the quasi-experimental design, two 2nd grade classes from an elementary school in Taichung City were randomized chosen. One of the classes was assigned to the experimental group who received picture-books phonics instruction which lasted twelve weeks, 40 minutes per week, while the other class was assigned to the control group who received traditional phonics instruction. By pretest, students from both two classes were divined into four groups according to their English levels. After the 12-week long instruction, four groups were tested on English phonological awareness, English word recognition and word spelling. The data collected from the study were analyzed by descriptive statistics and two-way analysis of variance to examine the effects. The main findings of the study are listed below: 1.The experimental group had greater performances than the control group on all of the phonics-learning elements. 2.Picture-books phonics instruction improves students’ phonological awareness and word recognition significantly. However, it didn’t have significant effects on their+ word spelling. 3.For high English achievers, their phoics learning achievements were significantly higher than lower level students. However, whether they received picture-books phonics instruction or traditional phonics instruction made no significant differences between their achievements. 4.For low English achievers, picture-books phonics instruction was more effective significantly than traditional phonics instruction on their phonological awareness and word recognition. However, phonics instruction with picture-books did not enhance their word spelling significantly.
