Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 98 === Many undergraduates in Taiwan have to read original English text book, but with poor English ability, they often have difficult ability to understand the content in. Students adopt a lot of methods to improve their vocabulary, such as using the electronic dictionary to search difficult words and translating those words into Chinese to remind them. Lots of students give up reading English text books or spend too much time in searching vocabularies because they have so many unfamiliar words in the books. This study wants to improve this situation by proposing a new Computer-Assisted Language Learning system. With this system, we can provide a faster word-searching function for students, and store the words which are often-searched to help students review those words quickly. Our research tries to shorten students‟ reading time and enrich their vocabularies. Through experiments, this study has learners used the proposed system to probe whether this system improve students‟ English ability in reading and learning. Using questionnaires, we want to find out students‟ perceived usefulness, ease of use, and intention of continue to use in this system. The result shows that our system improves students in words learning and saves a lot of words-searching time. Many students are willing to use our system for their further learning of English text books.
