此研究旨在探討台灣大學生在高中時期的寫作經驗及其所接受的中英文寫作訓練，目的在探討1)大學生之高中中文寫作經驗，2)高中英文寫作經驗及3)中英文寫作經驗的相似及相異點。 本研究之對象為中部某大學九十六名修習大一英文寫作課程之學生。本研究使用問卷及訪談以收集學生中英文寫作經驗之相關資料。而研究結果顯示多數參與本研究之學生在高中時期接受的中文與英文寫作訓練是有限的，有近一半的學生為了準備大學升學考試而參加校外的密集寫作訓練課程。此外，此研究發現，相較於閱讀教學，寫作在一般中文及英文課程裡較不被重視。再者，課堂中所提供的寫作活動及寫作技巧的訓練，也偏重於準備大學升學考試之取向。就文體的練習而言，在中英文課堂中多限於描寫文及敘述文。最後，研究發現中英文教師與學生在寫作上皆最重視主旨及文章之整體結構。然而在課程當中，教師提供在文章結構之訓練也是有限的，尤其就英文寫作而言。最後，根據研究發現，本研究亦就教育上之意涵，提出教學上的建議。 This study investigated university students’ prior Chinese and English writing experiences and instruction they received in senior high school in Taiwan. It was designed to explore: 1) students’ Chinese writing experiences, 2) students’ English writing experiences, and 3) similarities and differences between Chinese and English writing experiences. Ninety-six English majors from six sections of Freshman English Composition at a university in central Taiwan participated in the study. Descriptions of students’ writing experiences were acquired with the help of the questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews. Results of this study showed that firstly, the majority of the participants received limited English and Chinese writing instruction, in senior high school. Nearly half of the participants received intensive writing training outside of regular school classes to prepare for timed English writing on university entrance exams. Secondly, writing was found to be less-emphasized in both Chinese and English regular classes in comparison to reading. Thirdly, writing activities and skills taught in classes aimed to prepare students for the university entrance examination. Genre practices were limited to descriptive and narrative writing in both Chinese and English writing classes. Last, the development of main ideas and the overall organization were perceived by students as important features of writing emphasized by Chinese and English teachers; however, there was no explicit instruction on organization, especially for English writing. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications and research limitations were discussed.
