    論文摘要：
    本研究旨在探討如何在課堂中朗讀英語童詩以增加學生自行閱讀的興趣。在本研究中，教師以自身為示範，在完成學校考試進度教學之餘，在課堂中朗讀謝爾•希爾弗斯坦的幽默童詩，並邀請學生一同朗讀，以增加學生對英文課外讀物的興趣,進而希望學生能在空閒時間自行閱讀英文文學，不但可增強英文能力也可培養終生閱讀的習慣；教師並在課堂朗讀後進行與童詩相關之活動及文法練習，以增加學生的上課興趣及英文能力。實驗後並探討這些措施對提升學生英文閱讀興趣及英文能力是否具有正面效果，進而研究受試學生對所選內容、教學法所做的回應。
    本研究對象是三十六位台北縣的一所國民中學九年級的學生，所有受試學生在十二星期內，利用課堂上的空餘時間，一起和老師及同學朗誦老師所選的英語童詩，並錄製自己朗誦童詩的錄音帶。本實驗所選的教材，是聞名國際的謝爾•希爾弗斯坦的十七首幽默及具有想像力的童詩。每首詩長度不一，非常適合在課堂中的空餘時間與學生分享，彈性運用。由於本實驗旨在培養學生閱讀興趣，故不宜以紙筆考試給予學生壓力，而破壞享受閱讀的胃口。透過教師在課堂上的觀察和學生的問卷資料分析結果發現，朗讀法確有引起學生閱讀英文興趣的正面效果。
    本研究主要發現如下：
    1. 大部分的學生表示透過配合朗讀童詩的活動，對他們的字彙認識及文法
    能力增加很有幫助，尤其是口語的流利度和發音更是有明顯進步。
    2. 大部分的學生認為在課堂聽老師朗讀以及與同學一起朗讀童詩是愉快的經驗，並能夠無壓力的享受閱讀的樂趣，而不必擔心考試。
    3. 大部分的學生喜愛朗讀老師所選的十七首謝爾•希爾弗斯坦的幽默童詩。閱讀他的詩總能為課堂帶來歡笑。他們表示以後有空閒時間也會自己閱讀此類文章。
    4. 大部分的學生表示課外閱讀可增進英文能力，他們從沒想到學英文可以如此快樂及有趣。藉著朗讀十七首謝爾•希爾弗斯坦童詩，他們認為自己的眼界更寬廣了。
    5. 全部的學生均表示詩裡有很多不認識的單字，大部分的學生會在課堂上聆聽老師的講解並做筆記。
    6. 紙筆測驗造成學生重分數表現，而不敢開口大方說英文。教師可以藉著評量學生在課堂中的朗讀，創造學生多開口說英文及不怕犯錯的機會。
    根據以上研究結果，本研究者提出三點有關透過朗讀法引起學生主動閱讀
    英文的動機的建議：
    1. 國中英語教師可以在課堂上朗讀幽默輕鬆及符合學生程度的教材以加強學生閱讀英文的動機。
    2. 國中英語教師可藉由朗誦時的聲音表情傳達出自己對閱讀英文的熱情，進而感染學生，讓學生也喜愛閱讀。
    3. 國中英語教師除了可藉由朗讀引起興趣外，更可以指導學生認識字彙方法，以加強閱讀能力，使閱讀的習慣更持之以恆。
    雖然此研究仍有諸多待改進的空間，但本研究結果確實證明了朗讀幽默的英語童詩確實有助於引起學生閱讀英文的興趣和動機，進而養成自己閱讀英文的好習慣。
