本計畫期望逾越一般大專院校之電影賞析課程所著重之媒體教育基本目標,將電影所涵蓋之科技、人文與藝術三層面延伸運用於英語教學中。藉由電影媒體所呈現之人事物,來探討影音媒體背後所隱藏之週邊文化、所意涵之社會表象、與人類心裡深層的意念,運用建構式之教學概念,以主題式的探討,從電影製作的角度與美學概念來分析社會、心理、文化各層面的問題。以全英語之溝通與授課方式,來提昇同學英文聽說讀寫之綜合語言能力,並創造科技輔助英語教學之新策略。
本計畫分為三大部分。第一部份從英語教學理論談電影媒體於課堂上之運用,從視聽教學法與溝通教學法之相異理論基礎,設計專題式教案,探討多媒體教學教案與教學策略。第二部分則以建構科技輔助之教學環境與製作數位化教材為目標,將多媒體教材整合成輔助式或獨立式學習內容,運用網路資源,開發資訊融入教學之新模式與策略。第三部份則以行動研究為主軸,推動反思教學。實施數位化教材之評量與教學成效評估,並間接探討人文藝術教育之落實與影響。
This project is aimed at making media education not just the common objective and functionality of most film study courses but also a means for language acquisition, synergistically combining these allied themes. Cultural implications, social phenomena, and psychological status that are embedded in the images and sounds of movies through the presentation of both living people and inanimate objects are to be brought into wide-ranging discussions in classes where the focus is on language. In addition to the assistance of technology and newly developed strategies in computer-mediated education, the use of constructivist pedagogy in guiding students to creatively analyze the mechanics and aesthetics of cinematography will enhance students’ language proficiencies in various levels beyond that which would be achieved solely by traditional language classes.
There are three phases of this project. The first phase is to develop lesson plans with the use of one hundred movies and multimedia based on various language acquisition theories including audio-visual teaching methods and communicative approaches. The second phase is to develop digital materials and construct technology-enhanced educational environments for supplementary purposes. Renovated learning models and teaching strategies for information-mediated language education will be examined during the evaluation of digital materials. The third phase is to conduct action research and reflective practices to explore the educational effectiveness, making the knowledge obtained practical, i.e. usable by others in the field of education. The teaching of humanity and art will be carried out in the process and the observation of the corresponding effects will be conducted.
