| 摘要: | 隨著科技日新月異，行動科技開始蓬勃發展，許多研究者著手研究如何將其導入教育領域當中，原因在於行動科技有著許多優勢，例如便攜性，多媒體工具，網路功能，而本研究選擇將其應用於英文學習領域之中。研究發現台灣英文學習環境並無太多機會讓學習者進行聽與說的練習，導致學習者口說能力的低落，所以本研究將利用行動科技的特性以及情境學習為學習者提供練習口說的環境。
因此，為對應國中學習者的英文教學，本研究開發了一套SmartVpen系統，主要功能為識別學習者的口說語音並給予準確率的回饋，以及通過雲端資料庫辨識學習者的練習問句並給予適當的回答。本研究主要探討的目的為三組學習者的學習成效和學習行為差異，三組學習者分別為實驗組、控制組1和控制組2，其中實驗組使用本研究所開發的SmartVpen進行活動，而控制組1僅使用Android內建功能進行活動，最後的控制組2則是無科技介入的傳統教學。研究對象為八年級的學習者，參與研究人數為69人，時間為期6週。
研究結果顯示使用本研究系統的學習者，不管是英文的理解還是英文的口說能力方面都明顯好於其他學習者，進一步探究其學習行為，發現準確率對於英文口說能力最具相關性以及預測力，換句話說，本研究系統能有效提升學習者的口說能力，尤其以語音辨識準確率的回饋最為有效，因為學習者會為了達到最高準確率，而進行反覆練習，達到精熟學習的效果。另一方面，發現學習者在真實情境中進行對話練習的次數會多於非真實情境當中，因為學習者對於遠離教室這種單一情境，前往不同情境，是感到新奇有趣的，藉此引發學習者練習的動機，由此可知在真實情境中進行智慧對話練習對於學習者口說能力的提升是一項重要因素。
;With the rapid development of technology, a variety of mobile devices have come out. Many researchers have started to study how to implement mobile devices into the field of education. The reason is that mobile devices have many advantages, such as portability, multimedia tools, and network. It is found that there are not many opportunities for learners to practice listening and speaking in Taiwan′s English learning environment, which leads to the decline of learners′ oral ability. Therefore, this study will provide learners with an environment to practice oral speaking by taking advantage of the characteristics of mobile devices and situational learning.
For English teaching of junior high school students, this study developed a system, SmartVpen. The main function is to identify learners′ oral speech and give accurate feedback and to identify learners′ exercise questions and give appropriate answers through the cloud database. For the purpose of this study mainly discusses three groups of learners′ differences in learning and learning behavior, three groups of learners to the experimental group and control group 1 and control group 2, respectively, in which the experimental group using SmartVpen this institute development activities, and the control group 1 only using Android built-in function of activity, the control group 2 is no involvement of the traditional teaching of science and technology. The subjects of the study were eighth-grade learners with 69 participants over six weeks.
Research results show that the use of the system of learners, whether in the understanding of the English or English speaking ability is much better than any other learners, to further explore their learning behavior, found that the accuracy for speak English the most correlation and predictive, in other words, this study system can effectively promote learners′ spoken ability, especially with the feedback of the speech recognition accuracy is the most effective, because learners in order to achieve the highest accuracy, and to carry on the practice, to achieve the effect of mastery learning. On the other hand, it is found that learners practice more dialogues in the real situation than in the non-real situation, because learners are novel and interesting to get rid of the single situation in the classroom, thus triggering learners′ motivation to practice. It can be seen that practicing intelligent dialogue in an authentic environment an important factor to improve learners′ speak ability. |
