摘要

本研究旨在探討讀者劇場對大學生的英語學習動機以及英語閱讀流暢度的影響。針對69位大學生在讀者劇場以及相關戲劇課程的活動引導下，對於學習英語的動機與英語文章的閱讀流暢度是否有增進的效果；更進而探討兩項變數之間相關係數。本研究主要使用Pintrich以及DeGroot (1990)的 「學習動機導向策略量表(MSLQ)以及前後測閱讀測驗來蒐集各種數據資料。本研究結果顯示讀者劇場對於英語學習動機有顯著的正面影響,而在閱讀流暢度方面對於大學生卻沒有幫助。學習動機與閱讀流暢卻沒有顯著的相互影響。因此，讀者劇場在英語教學領域著實提供一個更有趣的教學方法，以供未來更多的研究者與教學者參考。

Different ESL teaching methods have already been studied to enhance students’ learning motivations and improve their reading fluency. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Reader’s Theater (RT) on college students’ learning motivation and reading fluency. 69 college students were recruited to complete a questionnaire, Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), which was adapted from Pintrich and Smith Mekeachie (1989), and two reading fluency tests. The results showed that learners’ learning motivation was enhanced after RT; reading fluency was not improved after RT; no correlation between learning motivation and reading fluency was found in the research.
