摘要
網際網路出現以來，憑藉其強大能力，已大幅提升外語教室內之科技輔助學習條件。網際網路現已成為向學習者傳遞知識之要角。整合科技於課程及學習活動之利用似乎已成為EFL方面之新興典範與學習方向。
因此，本研究之目的在於探討EFL職前教師對於在教學中使用英語學習網站之觀點。研究中挑出三個受歡迎之英語學習網站為本計劃教材設計及語言教學之主要資源。研究參與者為十位參與服務學習課程之職前教師；參與者於電腦教室對偏遠地區弱勢國小學童進行每週一次之一對一線上指導。為評估學習網站之妥適性，特別建立一組英語學習網站評估標準。收集資料包括英語學習網站評估單、訪談筆錄、研究員觀察筆記及參與研究之十位職前教師的教學省思。研究中採用混合式方法，以描述性統計進行網站評估單之量化分析。教學省思、觀察筆記及訪談筆錄則以要點分析取得質化資料。
即使電腦設備問題偶爾會干擾線上學習的樂趣，但本研究結果顯示英語學習網站不僅有其助益，更有利於職前教師將線上教材整合於課程。同時，受試職前教師對於在未來職場中利用網站輔助教學更展現積極態度。因此，只要透過謹慎選擇與運用，英文網站實可為語言學習與教學之有力工具。建議之標準亦可作為語言教師與學習者選擇網站時之有用參考。

ABSTRACT
The advent of the Internet with its robust capacity has greatly advanced the status of technology-enhanced learning in the foreign language classroom. The Internet has played a crucial role in delivering knowledge to learners (Ali, 2003; Ng, 2006). The use of integrated technology in the curriculum and in learning activities seems to have become a new paradigm and learning in the EFL context.
Thus, the aim of this research was to investigate EFL pre-service teachers’ perceptions of implementing English learning websites in teaching. Three popular English learning websites were singled out as one of the major resources to be used for materials design and language teaching in this project. The participants were ten pre-service teachers enrolled in a service learning course; they were required to carry out weekly one-on-one on-line tutoring in a computer lab to disadvantaged primary school students in a remote area. To evaluate the appropriateness of the learning websites, a set of evaluative criteria for English learning websites were also established. The collected data involved evaluative sheets for English learning websites, interview transcripts, the researcher observation notes and teaching reflections from ten pre-service teachers participating in this study. A mixed approach was employed in the study. The quantitative analysis of the evaluative sheets on the websites was conducted through descriptive statistics. Main-point analysis was used for qualitative data from teaching reflections, observation notes and interviews.
Although technical problems had sometimes interrupted the joy of learning on-line, results of this research revealed that English learning websites were not only helpful, but beneficial for pre-service teachers to integrate online materials into the class. Meanwhile, the participated teachers showed positive attitudes towards the use of websites in facilitating teaching in their future career. It is suggested that English websites, once carefully selected and employed, can be powerful for language learning and teaching. The proposed criteria can also serve as a good reference for the selection of websites for language teachers and learners.
