5.  To analyze whether college students can make progression on tourism English under instruction of Anchor-Cognitive Method (ACM).  To explore how teachers can help tourism students to learn tourism English under instruction of Anchor-Cognitive Method (ACM). Study Purpose

6. LITERATURE REVIEW

7. Cognitive Theory  Cognitive Theory is an useful tool in assisting students with learning problems.  It provides a structure for learning when a task can’t be completed through a series of steps.

8.  The most influential exponent of cognitivist was Swiss educational psychologist Jean Piaget. Cognitive Theory Jean Piaget The father of cognitive theory 尚‧皮亞傑 - 認知理論之父

15. Seven design rules for guiding Anchored Instruction  Choosing an appropriate anchor  Developing shared expertise around the anchor  Expanding the anchor Anchored Instructions

16.  Using knowledge as tools for problem solving  Teaching with the anchor  Merging the anchor with literacy experiences  Allowing student exploration Anchored Instructions

17. STUDY METHOD

18. Target  There are 43 students participate this particular intensive English program.  A 4-month long intensive experimental project (IEP) was planed and executived in a middle- size university school.  ACM was designed and applied to use by the research team.

19. Plan and Teacher  A teacher alongs with 8 TA was invited to conduct this program.  43 students divided into 5 groups.

21. CURRICULUM

23. Five Steps to Evaluate and Teach  Articles  Vocabularies  Anchor Point : Students’ needs  Test Mission  Test Evaluation

24. Lesson one-Introduction to Taiwan

26. Anchor (Students’ needs) Task-Based Method: performance Supposed a student is a tour guide, he is required to bring a sight-seeing group from foreign countries to introduce Taiwan. (in general information)

27. Test Mission 1.Where is Taiwan? 2.How big is it? 3.What does Taiwan have too much of ? 4.Name of the biggest mountain in Taiwan. 5.What kind of climate does Taiwan have? 6.Why do Taiwanese people go to hot springs?

28. Test Evaluation Listening (Input knowledge) - Grammar (Vocabulary usage and Sentence structure) -Comprehension (Error correction) Expression (Output knowledge) -Speaking (Fluency, accuracy and phrase)

29. Assessment of Expression Fluency / AccuracyScore Speech natural and continuous; no unnatural pauses80-100 Speech generally natural and continuous; only slight stumbling or unnatural pauses 60-80 Definite stumbling, but manages to rephrase or continue40-60 Speech frequently hesitant and jerky; sentences may be left uncompleted 20-40 Little or no communication; very hesitant; and very difficult to understand 0-20 Ranking of Students’ Achievement

30. Assessment of Expression VocabularyScore Uses vocabulary very accurately and extensively (for given levels) 80-100 Uses range of vocabulary accurately60-80 Occasionally lacks needed words; predominantly accurate usage 40-60 Frequently lacks needed words; frequent inaccurate usage20-40 Poor vocabulary0-20 Ranking of Students’ Achievement

31. Assessment of Expression GrammarScore Grammar almost always correct80-100 Most grammar correct; some minor structural errors60-80 Many grammar correct; some significant structural errors40-60 Some grammar correct; definite structural problems20-40 Little or no language produced; mistakes in basic structural problems 0-20 Ranking of Students’ Achievement

32. Assessment of Expression ComprehensibilityScore Entirely comprehensible80-100 Almost entirely comprehensible; no misunderstandings60-80 Some errors, but mostly comprehensible; occasionally misunderstands tester's questions 40-60 Many errors, about half incomprehensible20-40 Impossible to comprehend0-20 Ranking of Students’ Achievement

33. STUDY ANALYSIS

34. Statistic Analysis  Descriptive Statistic ( 敘述統計 )  Independent T-test (pre-test vs. post-test) ( 獨立 T 檢定 )  Accessing P-value ( 檢視顯著值 )

35. Difference Post – pre test 28.15< 0.05 1.03 Post – pre test

36. Difference Post – pre test 13.2 < 0.05 0.3 Post – pre test

37. 78.1 –49.95= 28.15 p-value = 0.000 <0.05 T – test (pre-test vs. post-test) Significant difference on the field of listening comprehension.

38. 64.2 – 51= 13.2 p-value = 0.000< 0.05 T – test (pre-test vs. post-test) Significant difference on the field of speaking expression.

39. CONCLUSION

40. Speaking and Listening  Anchor-Cognitive Method enables students to learn English in a very easy and convenient manner.  Anchor-Cognitive Method presents various functions that traditional teaching does not. Conclusion

41. Motivation  The curriculum can be based on students’ practical needs and ability.  Anchor-Cognitive Method offers the choices for users to study.  Anchor-Cognitive Method allows learning in students’ own preferred setting, location or facilities.
