在台灣，多數的大學在大一設有必修的英文課程，可是很多非以英語為專業的學生，因為不了解學習英語的重要性，以至於在課堂中的學習動機低落。本研究是為了調查如果在大一英文課程使用教科書中重覆閱讀的訓練技巧，是否能夠改善學生的閱讀速度？本研究實驗結果顯示：接受重複閱讀訓練的實驗班級，學生進步情況較另一班未接受訓練者佳。但是，由於所使用的文章越來越難，實驗組的學生並無法察覺他們的閱讀能力其實是有進步的。本文最後針對這些發現提出對英語教學的建議。

Most universities in Taiwan require students to take a Freshmen English course. However, in non-English major classes, motivation is generally low as students still do not realize the importance of English for their studies. This study explored if students in such a class would improve their reading rate when applying the repeated reading strategy using a regular textbook for EFL students. The results showed that although students improved their reading rate, they could not notice their improvements due to the increasing difficulty of the reading passages in the textbook. Compared to the beginning of the study, reading rate was lower at the end of the second semester. Improvements were only visible when comparing students' reading rate with that of the control group. Thus the high increase of difficulty in the reading passages of the textbook overshadowed students' improvements. Implications of these results are discussed.
