對非主修英語的大學生而言，大一英文是唯一的必修英文課。因此，大一英文對於提昇大學生的英文能力具有指標性的作用。為了解學生的需求和期望以達到大一英語學習的目標，課程的修正及教材教法上的創變的確有其急迫性。本研究利用問卷調查台南師範學院大一學生對於大一英文課程的期望。此外，課堂氣氛、學習動機、學習策略以及其他相關變數，例如主修、性別、多媒體學習、國外經驗、其他外語經驗等也同時討論以求其相關性。本研究結果發現：1. 課堂氣氛、學習動機和學習策略三者之間有顯著的相關性。2. 學生希望透過多媒體及電腦輔助教學來學習英文。3. 學生希望能同時加強英語聽說讀寫的能力，但以訓練聽和說的能力為優先。4. 學生若修習英語之外的外語或是對英語學習有自信心者，有較高的學習動機和較廣泛的學習策略。5. 女性較男性學生有較強的學習動機及較廣泛的學習策略。

Five hundred and six freshman of National Tainan Teachers College participated in the study about their expectations toward the freshmen English class. A survey included questions from the following aspects: classroom atmosphere, learning motivations, learning strategies and expectations toward the Freshman English Course were administered to the freshmen. Additional variables such as academic majors, genders, as well as overseas and other foreign language experiences were also examined and discussed in the study. In sum, the results of the study indicate: first, classroom atmosphere, learning motivation and learning strategies are strongly correlated. Second, freshmen like to learn English through multimedia materials and apply computer technology on learning. Third, students who had learned other foreign languages or were more confident had higher learning motivation and better learning strategies. Fourth, although most freshmen still believed in building language competence through all aspects of language training, improving speaking and listening abilities are their immediate goals. Therefore, in order to cultivate abilities in four language skills, how to practice listening and speaking skills with reading and writing focuses becomes an important task for English teachers. Finally, female students tend to have higher motivation and utilize more learning strategies on EFL learning.
