摘要

The purpose of this study was to investigate the voices of 15 college students (F: 13; M: 2) who participated in the Recycling English Songs/Lyrics Activity (RESLA) within an undergraduate English language classroom in Taiwan. Two research questions were proposed to guide the study: (a) How did the college students respond to the RESLA from the perspective of English acquisition? and (b) How did the college students respond to the RESLA from the perspective of critical thinking? Data were collected via an anonymous questionnaire and through the participants' written reflection papers. The results of the study indicated that (a) the RESLA was able to help the participants stimulate their English acquisition and develop their critical thinking, and (b) the RESLA benefited the participants in their critical thinking more than their English language acquisition. The results obtained via the questionnaire were further supported in the students' reflection papers.
