學習成效評估及具體執行成果
 

本課程開設於本校夜間進修部大一英文系，課程設計以溝通式文法(communicative grammar)及錯誤分析(error analysis)方式整理英語語法及文體，以區別於學生於中學時代所學之基礎文法。

針對進修部學生多數為在職進修及夜間學習時間短促情形，本課程進行方式以課堂講解、合作學習方式研討英語文法及寫作技巧為主，並以課後教學網提供學生觀摩習作、線上討論、及蒐尋網路相關資源。本課程之執行成效如下:
 

  1. 多元多向式的學習模式 -- 受限於傳統之文法及寫作課程無法在課程進行中達到充分溝通及相互觀摩目的，經由本課程溝通式教學方式及網課討論可補救進修部學生夜間學習時間之不足，大大增加學生之學習機會。藉由網課留言版及討論區設置，教師嘗試自單向課堂講授到師生雙向、多向交談式的多元化學習方式，使得教學互動性增強，有助教師於課堂檢視學生學習效果、課後追蹤學生網上學習次數。
  2. 語文教學與教學資源科技整合 -- 本計劃結合校內日、夜間部英文系、電算中心、視聽教學中心各項軟、硬體教學資源，使學生有機會運用多種媒體學習語言，提供進修部學生全方位學習機會。經由電腦軟體運用，協助學生基礎文法結構與拼字之校正，讓學生認識其個人易犯語法錯誤，除可提高文章正確度，更使得其樂於寫作而不會苦於害怕犯錯。
  3. 積極提供學生課外學習機會 — 藉由參與線上寫作學習教室及加入討論群方式，學生可依需求即時向教師或學者請益、溝通、研討。對於不熟悉或複雜之題型，學生亦可藉本計劃設置之網頁及連結網站依需求選取、切換單元以為自我練習、評量測驗，強化學習效果。以88年上學期為例，除課堂學習外，學生平均參予課後學習網次數超過35次強。
  4. 英文思考能力及表達方式之成效 -- 學習以合作學習、peer review、線上即時交談等方式交換文法與寫作學習心得，學生因有真正的讀者而加強寫作動機與學習責任感。藉由文法專題報告訓練學生分析及綜合能力，並引導學生發掘和思考問題；比較與往年同課程之報告，本課程執行期間即發現學生運用大量課堂介紹網路資源作為題材，呈現更多元學習觀點且極具創意。
  5. 本課程內容期望建構發展之目標 --
      6. a. 語言學習認知及正確態度 (LANGUAGE AWARENESS)
      b. 寫作過程與思考模式
      c. 主題句與文章主旨
      d. 文句結構分析、完整句
      e. 動詞時態、語態、語氣
      f. 語言一致性 (AGREEMENT & PRONOUN REFERENCE)
      g. 轉折語運用與標點符號運用
      h. 修飾辭運用 (MODIFIERS)
      i. 各種文體分析與寫作技巧
      j. KEY PAL及網路資源運用
      k. 語言教學法發展過程與文法教學之定位
      l. 英語句型結構分析與中英語法差異
      m. 文法教法與整合式英語教學
      n. 語用功能與錯

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to take the Grammar & Writing Practice Course! This course aims to help you to develop a feeling of self-confidence and competence in English, to increase your flexibility in use of syntax, and to show you how to build on your strengths to create unified and coherent paragraphs by using writing strategies. Throughout the program you will read, write, and share ideas with your classmates; peer discussion groups, inter-class exchanges, websites visit, class writing projects, and revision workshops are all alternatives. All the activities are designed to help you enjoy writing as a process of movement, discovery, and communication. Do not worry about making mistakes -- you can learn from your mistakes!

Remember this -- PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! The best way to improve your writing ability is to write, write, and write some more. Please let me know how I can help you with questions or problems that you may have. We are all in this together! I hope you try your best to follow the course and enjoy your learning!
