摘要

本研究主要探討學生英文朗讀能力及在大班教學條件下，以錄音方式提昇英文朗讀能力的看法。二百十二位國立聯合大學的大一學生接受五次課堂錄音練習之後，接受問卷調查。問卷結果顯示有百分之六十的參與學生以默讀方式而非大聲朗讀方式學習英文。雖然他們知道朗讀英文對他們的聽力和發音的正確度有幫助，但是他們卻很少朗讀英文。他們認為：跟著老師讀英文、聽錄音帶、聽電子辭典的讀音，更重要的是練習，有助於朗讀的準確及流利。然而教師的引導與糾正更有助於朗讀品質的改進。

This study was undertaken to investigate students' oral reading proficiency as well as their perceptions of using tape recording as an alternative to improve oral reading proficiency in large classes. Two hundred and twelve technology students participated in this study. A survey was conducted after students had practiced tape recording their own oral reading five times in class. The survey illustrated that more than 60% of the participants have learned English in a silent way instead of reading out loud. They seldom read a sentence out loud, even though they realized that oral reading did help listening comprehension and the accuracy of pronunciation. They thought repeating after the teacher, listening to the tape or the recorded sound of the electronic dictionaries, and most important of all, practice would help improve their oral accuracy and fluency. What could substantially enhance the quality of their oral reading, in their opinion, was the teacher's correction and guidance.
