本研究调查了在英语作为外语的课堂上使用增强型开放教育资源(OER)视频是否能提高大学生的多元文化能力，并调查了他们对开放教育资源的认知。这项研究是在台湾一所公立大学的两个普通英语班上的65名学生参与的。为了培养学生的多元文化能力和英语技能，采用了两个TED演讲的视频，这些演讲带有不同的跨文化主题。对于每一个视频，学生们在课前观看了一份演示文稿，并在班会上与同龄人讨论。从跨文化能力量表、OER感知调查和干预后访谈中收集的数据被分析以解决研究问题。结果表明，OER干预对学生交际策略的使用和跨文化接触的专心准备有很大的帮助。这项干预也加强了他们对开放式教育资源教育价值的信念。在研究结果的基础上，本文讨论了教学启示，以期为如何将开放式教育资源整合到英语课程中来促进学生的多元文化能力提供一些启示。
This study investigated whether applying enhanced open educational resource (OER) videos in English-as-a-Foreign-Language (EFL) classes could improve university students' multicultural competence, and it also explored their perceptions of OERs. The study was implemented with 65 students who were enrolled in two General English classes at a public university in Taiwan. Videos of two TED Talks that carried different multicultural themes were adopted for the purpose of developing the students' multicultural competence and English skills. For each of the videos, the students watched a presentation before class and discussed it with their peers in the class meeting. Data collected from an Intercultural Competence Scale, OER Perception Survey, and post-intervention interviews were analyzed to address the research issues. Results showed that the OER intervention was particularly helpful to the students' use of communicative strategies and attentive preparation for multicultural encounters. The intervention also reinforced their beliefs in the educational value of OERs. Based on the results, pedagogical implications are discussed to provide insights into how to integrate OERs into EFL curricula to facilitate students’ multicultural competence.
