The research is designed to follow the single-subject experiment with an “Alternating Treatment Design”. The subjects of this study are three elementary school students. The teaching material used is created using the “unlimited computer system” software, and will be used in conjunction with the “unlimited input device”. The evaluating materials used are based on the flash cards created by other researchers. The independent variables in this study are the traditional CAI and nursery rhyme CAI. The dependent variable is the percentage of correct questions answered by subjects in the test. The research is divided into three sub-researches. Each sub-research is in turn divided into three stages: the teaching stage, the testing stage, and the maintenance stage. In order to advance into the next stage from any stage, the subject has to correctly answer at least 80 percent of all the questions in two tests. The results of this research show that nursery rhyme CAI resulted in more effective and efficient learning in reading, word choice, and overall categories. In the phrase choice category, the learning is comparable in both teaching methods.
