Paper Abstract:
|
In view of students love for music and singing, the researcher integrated music with English learning by means of technology. The participants were 28 Aboriginal students in an Aboriginal high school in southern Taiwan. According to the purpose of the study, the research was about designing an English teaching model (SIR-KR) and exploring the issues of: (1) the principles in designing an online singing platform, (2) the effect of the platform in terms of increasing students vocabulary size. Collected data included ten revised English songs, vocabulary recognition test sheet, and students responses to the online singing platform. The data was computed and analyzed by means of descriptive analyses and paired samples t-test. The pre and posttest of their vocabulary size were analyzed quantitatively while the subjects responses to the online singing platform were analyzed qualitatively. The findings of the study are: (1) The subjects vocabulary size had increased to reach statistic level after the experiment. (2) All the students showed positive attitudes toward the effectiveness of the teaching model. The results of this study demonstrated students perspectives of their learning from this practicum, which has implications for future practice and further research. |
