Abstract:	In the writing class, story summarizing may be an easier avenue for beginning EFL writers to construct their mental language into written form after reading an English story. The author employed the activity of story summarizing in the basic writing class and discussed its effects on beginning writers. In this study, it was the first time for students to take an English writing class. They were all enrolled at vocational schools before entering the college. Their majors were English and writing was one of their required courses. Halfway through the semester, the students were asked to conduct story summarizing when they were getting more accustomed to composing their writing in English. The author found that it was hard for beginning writers to complete a composition on an assigned topic, especially for EFL learners. Therefore, instead of creating a brand new writing, the author would give her students to read a short story and then reproduced it using their own words. All the reading texts presented in a paperless fashion were projected on the screen with a laptop computer. In the findings, although some students had difficulty in story summarizing, other students still had positive comments about the task. It is worth to further explore the effects of story summarizing on the EFL writing class and hopefully, obtain an effective fashion of summarizing techniques which effectively correspond with students’ competence. 對初學英文寫作的學生而言，將閱讀完的英文故事以摘要的方式將故事略述一次可以是一項較容易達成的寫作任務。作者在基礎寫作課堂上採用故事摘要的活動並探討其實施的效果。參與本研究的學生都是第一次上英文寫作課，他們大部分是高職畢業的學生，進入大學後主修應用英語而英文寫作是必修科目之一。當學期過一半且學生已經比較熟悉寫作時，他們開始以故事摘要的方式練習英文寫作。作者發現要求剛開始學習英文寫作的學生完成一篇指定的作文題目的文章很困難。因此，與其讓學生自行創作，不如讓學生閱讀一篇短篇的英文文章再以他們自己的文字將文章略述一遍。所有閱讀的文章都以無紙文章的方式，用筆記型電腦將文章投射在布幕上供學生閱讀。研究過程中雖然發現一些學生以故事摘要的方式練習寫作感到困難，但是許多學生卻認為此項活動對英文寫作能力的培養具有正面的效果。因此，故事摘要的功效值得做更進一步的研究，希望獲得更有效的摘要故事的技巧以符合學生個人的需求。
