中文摘要 |
本研究主旨在探討詞語搭配教學和上字彙解釋和例句對學習者字彙學習的影響。受測者是台中東大附中平均年齡十五歲的國中生,有兩班學生參與此項研究:一組學習單字的方法是詞語搭配教學,另外一組則是字彙解釋和例句並沒有詞語搭配。全部受測者接受三次後測.三次後測的題目的句子都不一樣是為了確保學生在不同語境中都可以使用目標單字 本研究的主要發現摘要如下: 1、 詞語搭配對學生的單字學習效果有顯著的影響,接受詞語搭配的組別在立即 測驗中的表現優於沒接受詞語搭配教學的組別 2、 在隔一個禮拜之後的第二次測驗和兩個禮拜的第三次測驗中,詞語搭 配對學生的單字學習效果的影響有漸漸趨緩,但是接受詞語搭配的 組別的表現還是優於沒接受詞語搭配教學的組別 3、 接受詞語教學搭配的學生多半對詞語教學搭配抱持正面的態度,也表 達高度的意願學習如何使用詞語搭配字典來幫助自己的字彙學習 總而言之,在國中的學習環境裡,以詞語搭配學習單字是可行而且必須的;老師應該讓學生多注意一個單字前後常出現的字,而不應該只給單字的母語解釋.未來研究可以繼續探討是否結合詞語搭配和字彙解釋和例句是否能對學生的單字學習有更正面的影響 |
英文摘要 |
This study aims to explore the effects of collocation instruction on Junior high students’ vocabulary learning. Two classes of junior high school students in Taichung participated in this study. The experimental group class received collocation instruction, while the control group received vocabulary glosses with example sentences instruction. Three vocabulary tests were administered to examine the effects of two types of instruction on participants’ performance in two sections: multiple choices and fill-in blanks The sentences in the three tests were different in order to ensure participants’ capacity to use the target words in different context. Results revealed that the group that received collocation instruction performed better than the control group in the immediate posttest. Even though the gap between the two groups’ performances on the second and third test was close, collocation instruction group performed slightly better. Overall, it is beneficial and feasible to teach collocation in junior high school. Teachers should direct students’ attention to words’ frequent collocates instead of their L1 translation only. Future studies can further probe the combined effects of collocation instruction and vocabulary glosses and example sentences on vocabulary learning. |
