However, junior high school students in Taiwan get few chances to learn argumentation due to the lack of argumentation learning in Chinese courses, so do they lack the competency of argument and logical thinking. Also, teachers have no extra time to teach argumentation because they pay more attention on following the progress of the curriculum. On the other hand, the change of teaching environments makes the lesson preparation harder. In this study, we are trying to deal with these problems. Based on the previous researches, we proposed a “Claim-Reason-Evidence” teaching model to help students first seize the structure once they read an argumentation essay. We also constructed a tutoring system with ICT to tie in this model to make chances for students to learn argumentation and learn in extracurricular time. Furthermore, teachers could easily do the preparation of the lesson through this system. From the view of the system development process, this is only a pilot study and thus we hope to obtain more and more suggestions to make this study better in the future. We based on the “Claim-Reason-Evidence” teaching model and the framework of the tutoring system to do the interviews and obtain the user experience. We interviewed six Chinese teachers teaching in junior high schools in Taiwan. At the same time, we investigated eighty-two 7th grade students about their opinions via questionnaires. Based on the teachers and the students’ comments, the “Claim-Reason-Evidence” teaching model is adequate to argumentation teaching and the tutoring system is also beneficial and useful to the students. Also, the tool we made for the lesson preparation is helpful. From the result of the interviews and questionnaires, all the opinions and comments were positive. However, the practical result should be verified through large-scale experiments.
