520 $a The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not Chinese students would improve English language skills better using two modifications of the Natural Approach--a communicative language teaching method--than with two modifications of the more traditional Chinese language method.
520 $a Improvement was measured by pretest and posttest results of two standardized examinations: the Second Language Oral Test of English and the Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency. The Analysis of Covariance was used to adjust for differences in pretest levels.
520 $a Using a survey instrument developed by the researcher, the study examined the motivation levels of students prior to the beginning of instruction. Upon the completion of instruction, the study used a course evaluation to assess the opinions of the participating subjects regarding the value of these different instructional methods.
520 $a The subjects wee randomly assigned to four treatment groups: (a) the more traditional Chinese teaching method with only five minutes of each hour devoted to communicative activities (TC5CA), (b) the more traditional Chinese teaching method with 10 to 15 minutes of each hour devoted to communicative activities (TC10CA), (c) the Natural Approach with only 5 minutes of each hour devoted to activities associated with the more traditional Chinese method (NA5TC), and (d) the Natural Approach with 10 to 15 minutes of each hour devoted to activities associated with the more traditional Chinese teaching method (NA10TC).
520 $a Findings specific to the research hypotheses are briefly presented as follows: (a) significant improvement of English oral skills among subjects tended to favor the Natural Approach methods; (b) significant improvement of English written language skills occurred in subjects attending the traditional and the Natural Approach methods; and (c) females of NA5TC preferred the Natural Approach significantly more than the males did.
