Abstract:	本文指出幽默為語言教師教學技巧中極為自然之一環，進而探討語文教師比其他學科教師應用更多幽默之假設。語文教師之所以傾向使用幽默，主因是學習外語的特殊心理需求，教師必須解除學生的學習壓力，以求最大的學習效果。本文針對中國文化大學大二修習「語文實習」學生，進行一項四個問題的問卷調查，結果發現：學生認為語文教師比其他學科教師使用更多的幽默。此項發現印證一個事實：幽默之潛在價值，有助於減少學習壓力與建立親和力。 This paper suggests that humor is a natural part of the language teacher's pedagogical technique, and it therefore offers for analysis the hypothesis that language instructors use a greater amount of humor in their teaching than do their colleagues who teach subject courses. The tendency toward humor and other affinity seeking behaviors is due largely to the unique psychological demands that must be dealt with when one is learning a foreign tongue, and the need for teachers to eliminate stress from the classroom before serious language acquisition can take place. To Prove the hypothesis, this paper examines responses from four survey questions asked of sophomores from a variety of language conversation classrooms at the Chinese Culture University. The results demonstrate student perceptions that language instructors do indeed use more humor in their classes than subject teachers. This finding points to the intrinsic value of using humor as a key to stress reduction and affinity building in the language acquisition classroom.
