The subjects of this study were 944 students from ten different junior high schools in Taipei. They were required to fill in the questionnaires designed by the researcher. Later, the questionnaires were collected and used for data analysis. The major findings of this study are summarized as follows: (1) Most of the students do use SLM. In many students’ views, the chief advantage of using SLM is to facilitate their English abilities. While, the majority of them use it mainly because of the tests or finishing their homework. The reason why they don’t like it because it adds to their extra burdens. (2) Students have very limited time to utilize SLM partly because there are assignments from other courses at school and partly because most of them have to go to cram school at night. (3) Most teachers explain the key points of SLM in detail. Many students hope that the teachers can utilize the textbooks as the major teaching materials, and SLM as supplementary ones. (4) More students consider the most effective way of teaching reading is that the teacher leads the whole class to read line by line, explains the grammatical rules in detail and checks the answers to the reading comprehension questions. (5) Girls, the seventh graders, those who took the elementary level of GEPT and the ones whose parents pay much attention to their English education are most likely to use SLM diligently. Girl students are more active than boys in learning English and they would rather learn things step by step. Boy students, on the contrary, are more passive in learning English and they prefer more flexible instruction and cooperative learning. (6) Students’English language proficiency level is in proportion to their strong intrinsic motivation, positive learning attitudes, efficient ways of learning English, and parents’ concern. Based on the main findings of this study, some suggestions are provided. 1. English teachers should select proper and appropriate SLM and make the best use of it to bring its merits into full play. They should teach according to students’ varied abilities to stimulate their interests in learning automatically. In addition, they are suggested to provide students with appropriate reading strategies to make them become independent readers in learning English. 2. Parents should pay more attention to their children and make proper requests for their learning English. They had better be in tune with the school English education; teachers and parents should cooperate with each other. 3. Publishers are advised to put more emphasis on quality instead of quantity in the content of TKS. The ELM publishers are suggested to invite related TESOL experts as advisors and experienced teachers to form an editorial team and make them introduce essential grammatical points and related vocabulary information systematically. There is the need to publish more graded English supplementary reading comprehension tests according to word frequency. In addition, the quality of the test items should be improved so as to be able to measure students’ analytical, synthetic, applied, and critical abilities.英文課外閱讀英文補充教材參考書英語學習雜誌英文課外閱讀測驗廣泛閱讀精讀English outside reading materialsEnglish supplementary learning materialsTsan Kao ShuEnglish learning magazinesEnglish reading comprehension testsExtensive readingIntensive reading
