教師和產業界人士對英語畢業門檻的觀點以一所科技大學為例

The perspectives of teachers and commercial circles on Exit English Examination based on a university of science and technology

本研究旨在探討教師和產業界人士對英語畢業門檻的觀點，以某科技大學為例，採焦點團體法來蒐集資料，邀請某科技大學的8位教師含兼任行政職務，而產業界人士則邀請6位職場主管。研究結果為1. 制定的英語畢業門檻，有71%贊成有29%不贊成，贊成者認為設立英語畢業門檻對提升學校整體的英文能力有幫助，反對者認為學生若是程度差，設立英語畢業門檻，對學生是個折磨，因門檻過高通過無望，無法引起其學習英文的動機，尤其非英語相關科系的同學。2.依據英語畢業門檻的規定，該校學生必須參與校外的英檢考試兩次，才得以參加校內的「補救措施」，而造成學生的負擔，但有75%的老師還是支持這一項畢業門檻規定3. 制定的英語畢業門檻，可能會造成「考試領導教學」，在本研究中老師們和產業界人士幾乎都認為考試會領導教學，但對此卻持「正面的態度」。4. 87.5%的老師皆認為學校的「補救措施」，對英文程度差或是考不過的學生是毫無幫助的，且浪費人力及資源，只是開後門而且並沒有什麼約束力。研究者針對研究的結果提出建議，提供學校相關人員及對研究英語畢業門檻的學者參考，希望有助於日後技職校院英語畢業門檻的制定與施行。

The research aimed to investigate the perspectives of teachers andcommercial circles on Exit English Exam (EEE) based on a university of science and technology. The researcher made use of Focus Group Interview to collect the information. In the research the researcher interviewed the 8 faculties, and some of them are also administrators and 6 commercial circles. The finds indicated (1) 71% participants approved of enacting the EEE, but 29% of them opposed it. The proponents believed that setting up the EEE can be beneficial to the English ability of the students. On the contrary, in the opinion of opponents to have the EEE is just a torture to the students .The benchmark is too high for them to pass and discourages them, especially for the non-English related department students. ( 2) According to the EEE, the students are eligible to join the remedial measure unless they have taken the required exam outside the school twice. It may cause the heavy financial burden to the students. However, in the research up to 75% of the faculties still considered that it is necessary for the students to follow the code.(3) Enacting the EEE may cause ＂teaching to the test ＂, but the participants all had a positive attitude toward it.( 4) 87.5% faculties believed that the remedial measure is useless for the low English level students. It is just a waste and a loophole. Finally, according to the result of the research, the researcher came up with some suggestions for the reference of the EEE related faculties in the school and the researchers interested in the EEE field. The researcher hopes the research will be conducive to the Institution of Science and Technology to enact and Keywords: Exit English Exam (EEE), Focus Group Interview, remedial measure,University of Science and Technology implement the EEE in the future.
