영문 초록

Exposure to English culture and an authentic English speaking environment has always been regarded as one of the key elements to successful English language teaming. As a result, an increasing number of students go to English speaking countries to learn thc language as well as to explore the culture. For those who cannot afford the high tuition fees abroad, the parents of the students try all means to send their children to bilingual primary schools. In order to resolve this problem, and inspired by the An-San English Village in Seoul, Taiwan launched its "one-day study tour"English learning program in 2007. Different situational classrooms, such as airport customs, a hotel, a restaurant etc., are set up and manned with native speakers to teach students appropriate conversations within those scenarios. With the aim of providing an authentic English speaking environment and cultural settings, the learning results are expected to be boosted to optimum levels. The following questions therefore arise; what are the learning impacts of the one-day study tour upon the improvements of students' English abilities and levels of learning interest? Can culture and language be taught and learned in one day? The purposes of this research are to find out the answers to these questions through the analysis of 561 questionnaires from the students.
