| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 管理研究所 === 89 === For many years now, the standard of English amongst high school students has not been very satisfactory, and there has been a severe lack of interest during English lessons, more than sisty percent of the student population have no confidence in their comprehension of the English language, and more than fifty eight percent of the student population spent less than two hours a week on English outside of curricular time. Due to the belief that the proficiency of English amongst students is rather low, coupled with the fact that the content of academic material that is to be taught is rather massive, English teachers try to rush lessons as fast as they can. As a result, students pay little attention to their teachers, and end up doing other things during lesson time. The atmosphere in the classroom is one of boredom, and the resultant rate of student performance is, of course, unsatisfactory.

One group was involved in the learning organization, while the other group gave lessons as normal, the results of the tests on this two groups were compared every month, and interviews were carried out with the various parties involved. These steps were taken to locate a conclusion regarding the assumptions in the experiment. The experiment utilized the analysis of reason, trustworthiness, and repetition as the basis of its research, as well as to find the desired answers:
It was discovered, that the more participation that the high school English teachers put into the learning organization, the better were the results of the students under their change
