摘要

在台灣，小學生多傾向利用課外時間到補習班加強英語能力，但即使是如此，仍然有學生補習效果不佳，無法達到預期學習目標，本研究針對這些英語低成就學生，於某一知名補習班的協助下成立補救教學，目的在藉由此補救教學措施改善學生的英語能力，以期能夠趕上其他學生的進度，重新回到原來的班級。研究中之教學概念經由探討與觀察此一特定班級，並且詳述此補教教學班級的運作與教學過程，結果顯示此課程確實有效的提升了學生的英語能力，參與的八個學生當中，一位學生於第六週後，因課程時間與其他課程衝突而無法參加，其餘有六位最後顯示進步達到70分以上，此補救教學模式可提供給台灣或其他以英語為外語的國家，欲設立補救教學課程之補習班或學校做為參考。

There is a tendency for Taiwanese elementary school students to reinforce their English in a cram school after regular school hours. However, there are still some students who constantly fail cram school classes. For this reason, the selected cram school set up a supplementary program to have these students gathered for an intensive training after regular English programs, which is what we called a remedial program. The aim of this article is to introduce a developmental approach to integrating remedial program in the process. The teaching concepts have also illustrated by investigating and observing a class in a selected cram school. In addition, how this program worked for underachieving students is explained in detail. The results showed this remedial program was significantly effective in assisting students in improving their English abilities. All students met the intended goal of the program and six students obtained growth with scores above 70%. It provided a model of the remedial program for underachieving students in cram schools or language schools in Taiwan or any countries learning English as a foreign language.
