摘要
摘要本研究的目的是调查学生在高中英语课堂上使用图片故事3进行写作练习的看法。研究设计方法采用描述性定性技术。在写作课上,38名高中生被介绍给“照片故事女士3”进行写作练习。在课堂上使用应用程序后,学生们完成了一份调查问卷,并根据他们的写作水平选择了10名学生进行随访访谈。调查结果显示,大部分学生对使用照片故事小姐3作为写作工具持赞成态度。从调查中的一个选择题中获得的证据表明,大多数学生受益于使用Ms. Photo Story 3来提高他们的写作水平。此外,访谈数据显示,照片女士故事3对写作技能的发展有积极的影响。最后,10位受访者中有8位建议,在未来的写作课上可以利用照片故事3。进一步讨论采用Ms. Photo Story 3写作软件的好处,如提高学习者的动机和自主性,也表明这种软件可以成为英语课堂上有用的支持工具。关键词:照片女士故事,写作技巧,英语学习者。
