| Summary: | 碩士 === 銘傳大學 === 應用英語學系碩士在職專班 === 100 === This study mainly investigated the roles of two variables—different partial English immersion programs and length of learning—in Taiwanese elementary school EFL students’ listening and reading abilities. The participants of this study were 80 elementary school students randomly chosen from two different English immersion programs (40 from each) at a private language school in New Taipei City. All the participants were asked to take proficiency tests in listening and reading. The collected scores were computed and analyzed via SPSS along with the two examined variables collected from the participants. The results of this study showed that there were significant differences in both listening and reading test scores between the students in the two programs(F = 17, p < .001; F = 17, p < .001). Moreover, the duration of the participants’ English learning significantly correlated with their listening and reading scores (r = .627, p < 0.01; r = .585, p < 0.01). These findings suggested that different immersion programs and length of learning both assumed an important position in foreign language acquisition in the areas of listening and reading.
