| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東教育大學 === 英語學系 === 99 === To explore the effects of computer-assisted vocabulary teaching as a remedial approach for vocational high school English students who are underachievers in terms of English ability, this study aims to explore different techniques of vocabulary instruction. Involved in this study are 69 participants from a vocational high on
Taiwan: 34 students in the experimental group and 35 counterparts of the same English proficiency level in the control group. The experimental class receive computer-assisted vocabulary teaching while the control class receive traditional in-the-classroom (or explicit) vocabulary instruction.
Important data of statistical relevance are collected through interviews, observations, and motivational questionnaires while quantitative analysis is done primarily through the pretest, treatment, and the posttest. Results indicate that the computer-assisted vocabulary teaching (CAVT) contributes to a more positive attitude and better response from subjects, leading to a more significant vocabulary growth. It is hoped that the results of the study will shed light on the practice of the vocabulary teaching and learning in the vocational high school level in Taiwan.
