The study aims to investigate the effects of whole language picture book teaching on first graders’ English word recognition. The participants are from an elementary school in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, serving as the experimental group and the control group respectively. The experimental group received whole language picture book teaching and the control group learned the words in semantic sets. Data were collected via a self-designed English Word Recognition Test, a questionnaire and interviews. The pre-test and the post-test were submitted to Independent- Sample t-Test to compare the effects between groups, as well as the Paired-Sample t-Test to compare the differences within each group. The findings are as follows: 1.Both groups made progress on English word recognition, while their results did not reach the statistical significant differences. 2.There was a statistical significant difference in the experimental group, which means whole language picture book teaching had positive effects on the first graders’ English word recognition. 3.All the students in the experimental group had positive feedbacks on whole language picture book teaching. Finally, based on the research results. some suggestions for English teaching and further studies were offered.
