Abstract:	本研究的主要目的在探討合作學習對商職學生英語口語表達能力的成效及商職學生對合作學習應用在英語會話課的看法。研究對象為商職二年級兩班學生共八十名，其中一班為實驗組41人，授以學生小組成就區分法(STAD), 小組遊戲競賽法(TGT), 及共同學習法(LT)三種合作學習法；另一班為控制組39人，授以傳統授課法。兩組所使用的教材相同，由研究者安排教學活動並親自授課。教學實驗為期一個學期。資料蒐集方式包括兩次學期成就測驗為前、後測，問卷調查表、及訪談。資料分析方式為量化的描述性統計及質化的內容分析法。歸納研究結果摘述如下：一．實驗組學生在後測表現上明顯優於控制組學生，且達到統計的顯著差異。二．從個別子項目來看，實驗組學生在文法項目與控制組學生相較下，並未有顯著差異外，其餘項目表現明顯高於控制組學生。三．由問卷及訪談來看，合作學習對學生學習動機、學習態度、人際關係、及減輕學習焦慮均有助益。四．針對合作學習應用在本研究中所發現的一些缺點和困難，提出討論以求因應策略。根據上述研究結果，提出教學上涵義的探討，及對未來研究提出建議。 The purpose of this study is to investigate how commercial vocational high school students perceive cooperative learning in terms of English oral performance, learning attitudes, social development and lowering of anxiety in speaking English. There were totally 80 students involved in this study. The experimental group was taught in cooperative learning for one semester with the methods of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD), Teams-Games-Tournaments (TGT), Learning Together (LT). The control group was taught in the traditional instruction. This study collected data from oral tasks, scores of pretest and posttest, questionnaire, and student interview to achieve methodological triangulation. The reliability and validity of the collected data were ensured by combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyze the data. The major findings of this study suggested that cooperative learning helped significantly to enhance the commercial vocational high school students` English oral performance , learning attitudes, social development and lowering of anxiety in speaking English. Besides, the problems of cooperative learning that emerged in students` responses and the researcher`s observation was stated in the conclusion. The study suggested that cooperative learning be integrated into the vocational high school English instruction in Taiwan. Pedagogical implications for the application of cooperative learning in EFL teaching were proposed. Finally, suggestions for future studies were recommended.
