碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 網路學習科技研究所 === 96 === In this study, we proposed a scene-based film concordancer, called KWIS （Key-Words-In-Scene）, to provide semantic level video sequences which contain more sufficient contextual clues for assisting English colloquialism comprehension. Moreover, the process of indexing is automation in the system. In addition, we conducted an experiment to evaluate the KWIS-based concordancer and compare to the traditional KWIC-based one by using English colloquialism test. We also used the questionnaires to survey learners’ satisfaction in terms of Technology Acceptance Model and system quality. The results of the experiment are shown as follows. First, using KWIS-based concordancer is useful for colloquialism comprehension. Second, KWIS-based concordancer is more helpful than KWIC-based one in colloquialism comprehension. Third, the learners’ satisfaction is all positive.
