For college students, oral expression is one of the most important abilities, and “Speaking and Communication Skills” is a highly practical course. The goal of the course is to enable learners to have the ability to speak and communicate. The research question had two aspects: First, what was the teaching mode of the “Speaking and Communication Skills” course based on the experiential learning cycle? Second, what was the professional knowledge development of learners before and after participating in this course? The research participants were 50 students taking the “Speech and Communication Skills” course at a university in the North District. This study adopted the action research method. Qualitative research tools included learner data sheets, homework, feedback sheets, etc. Quantitative research tools included a speech and communication professional knowledge self-assessment scale, a speech anxiety scale, etc., to understand the development of the learner's oral expression knowledge. There were two research results: First, the curriculum model of “Speaking and Communication Skills” was established. From quantitative data, it was found that after the learners participate in this course, there was a significant difference between the pre- and post-tests of speaking and communication professional knowledge and speech anxiety, showing that the learning effect was significantly better than before the implementation, and that speech anxiety was significantly lower than before the implementation. According to qualitative data, learners could improve their professional knowledge through experience. |
