摘要

本文主要在研究台灣技專學生英文新聞字彙學習策略之使用情形。參與者爲美和技術學院應用外語系學生。研究者利用楊致慧(2007)先前改編Schmitt (1997)字彙學習策略量表作爲研究工具，透過102份有效問卷進行分析得知：參與者偏好使用電子、雙語和網路字典作爲認識新聞英文字彙的策略；重覆練習及強記也是其所常使用的學習方式。此外，就讀於日間部的學生比週末進修學院的學生更常使用新聞英文字彙學習策略。至於在五項策略分類中，兩組策略使用的喜好則各有不同。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the journalistic vocabulary learning strategies by EFL college students in Taiwan. The participants were students in the department of applied foreign languages at Meiho Institute of Technology. The Journalistic Vocabulary Learning Strategy Scale (Yang, 2007) was used as the instrument. The data was analyzed with 102 valid samples through SPSS statistical software. The results showed that the participants in this study had affinity to use dictionaries, such as electronic, bilingual and web dictionaries. Repetition and rote memorization were also found as popular strategies among the participants. In addition, traditional students appeared to use overall strategy more often than non-traditional students did. As for five categories of strategies, preferences between the two groups differed.
