Book excerpt: 臺灣高中生的英文寫作能力大幅下降已經是不爭的事實。這可由每年大學指定科目考試中的英文作文皆有數萬考生得零分,和全民英檢中的寫作能力通過率甚低中看出端倪。再者,加上臺灣的高中英文老師大部分也把教英文寫作視為一件苦差事,兩個因素交互影響之下,著實令人不免擔憂將來我們的高中生是否能夠再提起筆寫一篇最基本的英文文章。在過去,學生在學習上的「犯錯」往往被認為是種罪惡(Sin),需除之而後快,並且極力避免再犯。但如今,「犯錯」在教育上卻傳達了另一項正面的訊息,它表示了學生是在應用已知的知識,加上其探索嘗試的精神,在建構一個屬於自己的學習過程。因此,學生的錯誤所代表的正是他們正在積極的在測試自己在「學習」上的假設。本書即針對目前臺灣高中生的英文寫作歷程作一番深入的探討。書中透過寫作樣本分析、問卷和訪談的方式來(一)歸類和計算出臺灣高中生常犯的英文寫作錯誤種類和頻率,並試圖提出可能造成犯錯的合理解釋;(二)分析學生對於其英文寫作過程中所犯之寫作錯誤的心理態度;(三)了解現職英文老師在傾聽完學生的想法和態度後的另一番見解。作者發現臺灣學生的英文寫作的確在語意的表達上不求甚解,甚至充滿中文化的使用和思考邏輯,在文法的使用精確度上也亟需加強,且內容上也嫌創意和深度不足。另外,也發現學生對於寫作「錯誤」的態度從以往的「欲除之而後快」逐漸轉化成是一種代表測試個人學習假設的必經歷程。這些發現著實可為現今的英文作文教學帶來另一種新視野、新態度和新方法。本書從台灣高中生的英文寫作錯誤中分析了錯誤的種類及原因,並探索了學生本身對寫作錯誤的態度及看法。期望提供英文老師和學生一個對「英文寫作錯誤」的另一層省思。【秀威資訊科技股份有限公司製作】

This book was released on 1994-03-25 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces teachers to techniques for exploring their own classroom experiences. The paperback edition introduces teachers to techniques for exploring their own classroom experiences. Numerous books deal with classroom observation and research, but this is the first to offer a carefully structured approach to self-observation and self-evaluation. Richards and Lockhart aim to develop a reflective approach to teaching, one in which teachers collect data about their own teaching; examine their attitudes, beliefs, and assumptions; and use the information they obtain as a basis for critical reflection on teaching practices. The approach is not linked to a particular method, but rather can be applied to a variety of methodologies and teaching situations. Each chapter includes questions and activities appropriate for group discussion or self-study.
