  • 台南市從民國八十七年開始實施國小二到六年級英語教學,教育局為求教材的一貫性,招集了十名富教學經驗的國小英語教師並邀請數位大學教育相關系所的教授共同組成一個編輯團,Enjoy系列的自編英語教材第一冊於九十年誕生。本研究藉由內容活動的分析及問卷收集使用者的意見來評鑑本套教材,希望研究結果可供往後教材繼續編寫之參考,同時期讓老師們對Enjoy有更多的瞭解。
      本研究結果如下:
    1.Enjoy符合「溝通式語言教學」的準則,尤其在社
    會語言(sociolinguistic)及語談(discourse)方
    面。
    2.大多數教師皆能瞭解且認同Enjoy的編輯理念。
    3.大致上教師們認同Enjoy的設計,只是提出一些建議以供
    改進,例如教師手冊內的建議活動應該更實用一些、教
    具宜更多樣化以及減少各課句型的份量。
    4.普遍來說,學生喜歡這套教材。
    5.班級人數多寡對教學效果影響甚深。
    6.年經和缺乏教學經驗的老師較依賴教師指引。

    Tainan City started to implement elementary school English teaching since early 1998. The subjects are the students of grade two through grade six. Concerned about the consistency of textbook usage, the Educational Bureau of Tainan City Government invited ten experienced elementary school English teachers and some university professors of education to form an editorial board. In 2001, the first volume of this originally developed English textbook series, Enjoy, was born. This study aims to assess this textbook by analyzing its contents and activities and conducting a questionnaire survey to collect users’ perceptions of it. Hopefully, the findings of the study can provide some reference for the writing of further volumes and for a better understanding of Enjoy by teachers.
    The main findings of this study are summarized as following:
    1.Enjoy follows the principles of CLT, especially
    the sociolinguistic aspect and discourse aspect.
    2.The majority of the teachers understand and
    approve of Enjoy’s rationale.
    3.Generally speaking, the teachers approve of the
    design of Enjoy. Some suggestions given by the
    teachers for further improvement are that the
    suggested activities in the teachers’ manual
    should be more practical, teaching aids are
    expected to be more variable, and the amount of
    sentence patterns can be reduced in each lesson.
    4.Students like Enjoy in general.
    5.The size of the class has a great impact on
    English teaching and learning.
    6.Younger and inexperienced teachers tend to rely
    more heavily on the teachers’ guide.
