第二節 未來研究發展方向
根據本研究的發現,及所歸納的結論,提出以下幾項建議及未來研究發展方 向,期能使電腦輔助英文發音訓練更為有效,也能推廣至更多不同的學習環境。
一、訓練課程方面:
由於本研究的訓練內容鎖定在國內常見的英文母音上,而其實子音的部分也 是國內學生常犯的發音問題,若在將來的研究能將子音的發音訓練也納入其中,
就可以使英文發音的訓練更為完善。
而根據句子題型的細部探討發現,語調為所有面向(發音、語調、流暢度)
中最低分,代表學生對於句子的語調部分較難以掌握,未來的研究可針對更多不 同情境的句子加強練習。
二、訓練對象方面:
由於本研究的對象為發音已固化的研究生,而研究生的特質就是太過忙碌而 無法接受長期且固定的傳統發音訓練課程,所以本研究透過電腦的輔助,主要強 調短時間和個人化的訓練機制(每天只花二十分鐘)來改善英文發音問題,而將 來或許可以把研究對象設定為更加忙碌的上班族,探討本研究方法的訓練成效。
三、系統工具方面
根據問卷的結果顯示,大多的學習者還是希望能有電腦即時的回饋,如此才 能立即知道該改善的地方,而也有學生提到系統可以加上圖片或發音方法,來說 明如何發出正確的發音,並針對上下傳的機制作改善,省去等待上下載的時間。

信度考驗方法採用「重測信度法」,也就是同性質的測驗內容(前測以及 第一次後測)在不同的時間點實施,而對象為同一群人。誤差來源為時間取 樣,結果Pearson Correlation >0.70,達到顯著相關,代表本研究的測驗為高信 度;另外測驗的題目取自李輝華(民93)和黃自來(民72)所著的書籍,測 驗的方法以及評量方法則根據相關文獻以及理論發展出來,所以具高效度。
