一塊餅乾，打造學生英檢口說的穩定輸出流程

蔡宛臻 Johanne
 
老師們是不是也常常在教室裡遇到這些場景？
學生腦海裡有想法，開口卻「卡卡」。明明知道答案，開口卻卡半天：「Well…because…ya…」。頭腦跑得比嘴巴快，結果一緊張什麼都出不來。也有學生一邊想一邊講，想到什麼講什麼，理由、例子跳來跳去，變成東一句西一句。不然就是是簡單句講得出來，但內容像在灌白開水：「Because it’s good.」「Because it’s fun.」沒理由、沒例子，聽完只能說還好有講完。
口說考試其實不是在考背誦力，而是臨場整理想法的能力。學生需要的是一條「說話的順序」當作導航。照著順序走，即使緊張，內容還是說得出來。本篇文章以OREO模型作為教學主軸，協助學生建構語言產出邏輯。
 
OREO 應答架構：讓學生有話可說、有內容好說
O - Opinion：My favorite subject is English.
R - Reason：Because it is important and interesting.
E - Example：For example, I can talk to foreigners when I travel.
O - Opinion restate：That’s why I think English is very useful.

實用課堂活動設計
一、OREO 分層覺察練習
目的：
引導學生認識 OREO 四層結構，學習辨識每個句子在口說回答中的功能。
流程：
  1. 老師先出示完整範例，學生聽老師唸一遍。
  2. 接著讓學生閱讀全文，練習標記每一句是 O、R、E 還是 O。
  3. 完成後進行全班討論，思考是否可以加入更多細節。
“Please listen carefully. I will read a sample answer. Try to think: which sentence is the opinion? Which one is the reason? Which one is the example? And which one is the restatement?”
“Now, read the sentences again and label O, R, E, O.”
範例：
Question: What is your favorite holiday?
Answer:
  • My favorite holiday is Chinese New Year. (O)
  • Because I can spend time with my family and enjoy delicious food. (R)
  • For example, we have a big family dinner and exchange red envelopes. (E)
  • That’s why I love Chinese New Year the most. (O)
二、限時小組輪流回答
目的：
訓練學生在短時間內快速組織想法，完成完整結構的回答。
流程：
  1. 老師準備題目卡，每組輪流抽題。
  2. 每位學生有 30 秒準備、30-45 秒完成口說應答。
  3. 逐步去除提示卡，訓練獨立反應能力。
“Each group will pick one question card.”
“You have 30 seconds to think. Then, please give your answer using the OREO structure.”
“Try to speak for 30 to 45 seconds.”
範例：
Question: What is your favorite sport?
Answer:
  • My favorite sport is swimming. (O)
  • Because it helps me relax and stay healthy. (R)
  • For example, I swim at the sports center with my friends every weekend. (E)
  • That’s why I like swimming so much. (O)
三、錄音回放自我檢測
目的：
培養學生自我評估語流穩定性與內容完整性的能力。
流程：
  1. 學生錄音回答指定題目。
  2. 播放錄音，學生自我檢查語流、內容是否完整。
  3. 搭配簡單自評表進行反思。
“Now, please record your answer to the question.”
“After you listen to your recording, use the checklist to check your performance.”
“Focus on your fluency and details.”
範例：
Question: What do you usually do on weekends?
Answer:
  • On weekends, I usually go to the park. (O)
  • Because I can relax and exercise. (R)
  • For example, I ride my bike and walk my dog there every Saturday. (E)
  • That’s why I enjoy my weekends. (O)
活動四：加厚內容「五問法」
目的：
訓練學生在理由和舉例層次中加入更豐富細節，提升答案厚度。
流程：
  1. 老師先示範如何透過 5 個問題把答案撐厚。
  2. 學生兩人一組，一人負責主回答，一人負責依照五問法追問，完成延展內容練習。
“First, give your basic answer.”
“Then, your partner will ask you five questions to help you add details.”
“Answer each question and build a longer answer.”
範例：
Question: Talk about your favorite restaurant.
Expanded Answer:
  • My favorite restaurant is a Japanese sushi place because I love seafood.
  • I usually go there with my family about twice a month.
  • The last time we went was last Sunday.
  • It’s very close to my house, only a 10-minute walk.
  • The sushi is always fresh and delicious. That’s why I enjoy eating there.
