    • 英語以往只特定在英語國家，例如美國。然而，因為全球化，英語已演變成通用語(ELF)，且英語為通用語的角色已經開始對教育有了影響。先前研究多著重在高等教育在ELF情境下的學術目的，但卻少有研究將重點放在中等教育。中等教育的學生，尤其是高中生，即將進入大學面臨ELF的環境，因此讓他們熟悉ELF是有必要的。此研究的目的是去探索高中生在接觸不同英語型式後對於英語看法是如何，且去看他們在ELF情境的聽力之下，是否能夠拓展他們的眼界。
    本研究採混合研究，結果透過量化和質性分析相佐呈現。資料來自於台灣南部68位高中生並將之分成實驗組和控制組。實驗組透過6週的實驗來學習不同的英語特色，這些英語特色的訂定是根據Kachru (1985)所提出的英語三圈分類，然而控制組則是沒有進行任何特定實驗。
    本研究主要結果歸納如下: (1) 6週的實驗對於實驗組的受試者在ELF聽力理解上有顯著的影響; (2) 6週的實驗對於實驗組的受試者在觀點上也有影響，尤其是在英語未來趨勢和對自身英語能力的自信;(3) 透過訪談，有關受訪者在面對ELF時更深層的自我看法會提出討論。最後，本研究也提供可能的教學應用建議。

    English used to be specific to English-speaking countries such as the U.S.; however, it has evolved to become the new lingua franca due to globalization, and the lingua franca role of English has already started to influence education. Previous studies focused on the tertiary education for academic purposes in ELF context; nonetheless, few studies have put an emphasis on the secondary education. Students on the secondary education, especially in senior high school, are entering colleges to encounter the ELF environment, so it is necessary to make them acquainted with ELF. The aim of the study is to explore high school students‘ perspectives towards English after their exposures to different varieties of English, and to see whether they would expand their spectrums in ELF listening context.
    Mixed methodology was employed in this study. The results were triangulated in terms of quantitative and qualitative analyses. Data were gathered from 68 participants, divided into the experimental and control group, in a senior high school in southern Taiwan. The experimental group went through six-week intervention to learn different English features based on three circles of English (Kachru, 1985), whereas there was no specific treatment for the control group.
    The major findings are summarized as follows. First, the six-week treatment was effective on the ELF listening comprehension in the experimental group. Second, the treatment was also effective on the participants’ general perspectives, especially in future trend of English and self-confidence in English proficiency. Finally, insightful information about their self-perceptions in face of ELF collected through interviews was discussed. At last, possible pedagogical implications are also discussed at the end.
