溝通式教學法對技職體系護理學生學習動機的影響

Motivating TVES Nursing Students: Effects of CLT on Learner Motivation

本研究的目的為探索溝通式英語教學法對臺灣一所技職大學護理系學生學習動機的影響。由於此類研究並未曾針對該族群深入探討，本人關切是否此種西方的教學法適合已盛行傳統文法教學法數十年的臺灣。受測者為北臺灣一所技職大學163位護理系新生，在溝通式教學法實施前後，分別施以學習動機問卷。研究結果顯示，在教學法實施後，受測者的工具型動機增強了。本研究的結果呈現了教學上的含意，也就是任何教學法應做恰當的改變，以適應自己國家的教育情境，才能提昇學習動機，進而增進教學成效。

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of the communicative language teaching (CLT) approach on the learning motivation of technological and vocational Education System (TVES) nursing students in Taiwan. Given that CLT studies on Taiwan TVES nursing students' motivation have been largely unexplored, it is my concern whether and how the CLT approach would facilitate the learning process in Taiwan, where traditional grammar teaching pedagogy has been dominant for decades. The subjects were 163 freshmen from a vocational nursing university in northern Taiwan. Prior to and after CLT instruction, motivation questionnaires were conducted respectively. The findings showed that CLT instruction enhanced the subjects' instrumental motivation. The outcomes of the study have yielded pedagogical implications which suggest that changes could be made to suit their own specific contexts so as to raise learner motivation and ultimately facilitate L2 acquisition.
