"近年來，讀寫教育由於科技之日新月異而有了極大的改變。閱讀文字已從傳統的紙本，發展成為結合網路閱讀及多媒體等溝通媒介的新讀寫素養 (new literacies)。而要跨越這個鴻溝，就是讓學生從原先的紙本閱讀，到鼓勵學生閱讀電子書。本計畫所指的電子書，即是以電子型態呈現之文字，可以透過網路閱讀(E-reading) 或電子閱讀器 (E-reader)來閱讀。這兩年期計畫，即研究學生閱讀電子書(E-books)的看法及所產生閱讀態度的轉變，也透過長期閱讀電子書提升外語學習。第一年的計畫旨在研究網路電子書對學生閱讀態度的影響。八十位來自北部國立大學大一英文的二班學生參與此研究。在為期四個月的實驗當中，學生們每週必須從預先選好的電子書書目中，至少挑選四本喜愛的書閱讀，並完成閱讀紀錄，上傳至研究者設計的閱讀網站與同儕分享，並接受訪談。參與同學也在實驗先後填寫閱讀態度量表，以紀錄其閱讀態度的轉變。本計畫亦透過質化與量化之工具蒐集資料，以了解電子書對第二外語學習者之態度之影響，以及其影響因子。而第一年的計畫結果，可做為第二年後續以電子閱讀器為媒介來閱讀電子書計畫的雛型。第二年的連續性計畫以大學生運用電子閱讀器閱讀電子書為例，來探討閱讀者與科技之互動及科技對於閱讀歷程之影響。重點著重於了解電子閱讀器之效能及對外語教學之效用，以及對外語學習者閱讀態度之改變。為了長期了解閱讀態度之轉變及其歷程，研究者會從參與第一年之計畫的學生當中挑選10 位不同主修、語言背景、網路閱讀態度的學生參與第二年的研究。透過前後測之閱讀量表、錄影之閱讀歷程、閱讀紀錄及訪談結果，研究者將一窺學生如何運用媒體輔助文字了解，以及探討電子閱讀器如何造成學生閱讀態度的轉變。期盼透過此長期研究可以更瞭解科技所帶來的新閱讀型態及提供未來新世代語言教學之建議。"
"Over the past decades, literacy education has changed in profound ways as new technologies infiltrate with the speed far beyond our imagination. Texts have moved beyond printed forms to encompassing online reading, online navigation and research, hypermedia interpretation, and many-to-many synchronous and asynchronous communication. One way to bridge the shift is to expand the limited text forms that students are exposed to and to engage students with electronic books, or E-books. E-books in this project refer to texts in an electronic format, which allow readers to reading online (E-reading) or to read with hand-held devices (E-reader). This two-year project aims to document participants’ changes of reading attitudes along with this new medium, to use online E-books as a tool to support and enhance EFL students’ learning, and to investigate students’ perspectives of this E-book program. The first year project will center on investigating students’ reading attitudes towards E-book reading on the Internet (E-reading). The participants are 80 freshmen drawn from two sections of an intermediate EFL reading course in a national university in northern Taiwan. During the four-month experiment, students will read at least 4 online E-books weekly from the reading list provided by the researchers, need to turn in their reading logs onto the online reading forum, and attend semi-structured interviews. An initial reading attitude questionnaire will be administered at the beginning and end of the experiment to demonstrate any attitude change. Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be employed to document students’ attitudes towards E-book reading online and their perceptions of this E-reading program. The results obtained from the first year will serve as a model for the E-reader project in the second year. The second year project examines how integration of technology supports the emergence of new literacies, within the context of an E-book reading program via hand-held E-readers in a college English classroom. Specific focuses are on the usability and usefulness of E-readers in language learning and their effects on EFL learners’ reading attitudes. To document students’ attitude change over time, the researchers will select 10 participants who are of different majors, with diverse language backgrounds, and show more or less positive attitudes towards E-reading, to join the four-month E-reader project. Students need to read E-books at home and post reading logs as they do in the first year study. The data from pre-post attitude questionnaire, video recordings of online reading processes, reading logs published by students in the online reading forum, and semi-structured interviews will shed new lights on how students approach online texts and how E-book reading affects their reading attitudes. It is hoped that this longitudinal study can provide deeper insights of the new e-literacy reading patterns and help better prepare students to meet the emerging literacy demands."
