| 摘要: | This is a report of an exploratory study focused on investigating what speech acts patterns Taiwanese students performed and how their L2 literacy skills and cross-cultural awareness developed when they interacted with their American counterparts through the use of the e-mail. The pilot study was conducted as a mini version of my official research; therefore, the research questions were also based on the ones proposed in my dissertation proposal.
The research site was located in a college in the northeastern United States. The participants were divided into two groups: four Taiwanese and four American students. The pilot study lasted for ten weeks. There were a total of twenty five e-mail entries collected from the participants. I classified the entries into four categories: topic interests, speech act patterns, cultural awareness, and literacy skills. In my findings, one remarkably different speech act between Taiwanese and American students was encouragement. Regardless of the cultural differences, it seems that American students are more prone to supplying encouraging expressions than Taiwanese students. Also, the study reinforced the idea that building a good relationship between the researcher and participants is very important. One major difficulty had to do with how to request the participants to follow the guideline of sending their e-mail messages regularly. Because the researcher’s lack of physical contact with participants, both the Taiwanese and American students did not send their e-mail messages on a weekly basis.
Although certain difficulties appeared in this study, it nevertheless will serve as a useful experience for me to conduct an official research project. After all, extending research in this forum was one of the principle purposes for carrying out this study. |
