本文藉中國文化大學學生對一本英語閱讀課本(即 Mosaia Two: A Reading Skills Book )的一項問卷調查,探討英語閱讀課本有趣性的評估問題。 問卷調查將英語閱讀課本 有趣性的客觀因素(即教科書本身)與主觀因素(即使用者,包括學生與教師)列入考慮, 設計成十八個問題。問卷結果獲得英語閱讀課本有趣性的三項重大發現。最後,依據學生對 上述課本,所示最感興趣與最不感興趣的章次原因,歸納出三十三個問題,作為評估英語課 本有趣性的標準。
This paper uses a survey of Mosaic Two: A Reading Skills Book administered to the Chinese Culture University students to examine the evaluation of the interest level of EFL reading textbooks. Both the objective factor (i.e., the textbook per se) and the subjective factor (i.e., users, including the teacher and students) of the EFL reading textbooks are taken into account in questionnaire design. The results of the eighteen survey questions yield three valuable findings concerning the interest level of EFL reading textbooks. Finally, from students' statements of the reasons for the most and least interesting chapters of the above textbook, we construct two checklists of thirtythree three questions as criteria for evaluating the interest level of the EFL reading textbooooks.
