词汇呈现方式对英语词汇学习影响的实证研究

Empirical research on the presentation models' effects on English vocabulary learning

本研究采用拉丁方实验方法探讨不同词汇呈现方式在英语词汇教学中的效果。研究结果表明,词汇表、图片/动画/影像、附带语境三种呈现方式对词汇学习与短时记忆的影响没有显著差异,对词汇长时记忆的影响则表现为词汇接受性知识和产出性知识的获取效果不同,且对不同词性词汇学习的影响也不完全相同。总体而言,图片/动画/影像呈现方式对词汇记忆与输出的效果明显,词汇表和附带语境呈现方式的影响没有显著差异。

This study examines the effects of different presentation models in English vocabulary teaching and learn- ing by means of the Latin Square Design experiment. The study results reveal that the three presentation models, namely literal meaning, pictures/comics/videos, and incidental acquisition context, produce no different effects on the short-term memory of the target words, but they produce different effects on the long-term retention of the recep- tive knowledge and productive knowledge of the target words. The three presentation models also show different effects on the retention of nouns, verbs and adjectives. The study proves that in general, the presentation model of pictures/ comics/videos has desirable effects on the memory and retention of words, while the other two presentation models have no significantly different effects.
