Abstract

Abstract Previous research on phrasal verbs has focused on the effectiveness of exercises requiring learners to provide the missing particle for a given verb. However, this research does not address other common exercise formats, such as those requiring learners to complete entire phrasal verbs. This study aims to bridge this gap by exploring such an exercise format and its two principal implementations. The participants were 134 Japanese EFL learners. Both exercise setups present the definition and initial letter of a phrasal verb as a prompt. In the guessing method, students attempt to fill in the missing phrasal verb based solely on the prompt and then receive corrective feedback. In contrast, in the error-free retrieval method, students study the phrasal verb and its definition before attempting the same gap-fill exercise. Retention of phrasal verbs improved more with the guessing method. Further, across both methods, participants struggled more with recalling particles than verbs.
猜测和检索策略对动词短语学习的影响
以往对动词短语的研究主要集中在要求学习者提供给定动词的缺失小品的练习的有效性上。然而,这项研究并没有涉及其他常见的练习形式,比如那些要求学习者完成整个动词短语的练习。本研究旨在通过探索这种练习格式及其两个主要实现来弥合这一差距。参与者为134名日本英语学习者。两种练习设置都将短语动词的定义和首字母作为提示。在猜词法中,学生尝试仅仅根据提示来填写缺失的短语动词,然后收到纠正反馈。相比之下,在无错检索法中,学生先学习动词短语及其定义,然后再进行同样的填空练习。用猜词法记忆动词短语的效果更好。此外,在两种方法中,参与者在回忆微粒方面比回忆动词更困难。
