Abstract

The study examined the effect of pre-reading morphological instruction (PRMI) in relation to pre-reading word meaning explanation (PRWME) and reading-only incidental learning (RO) on the development of morphologically complex words. A total of 93 college English learners with matchable vocabulary size in China were randomly assigned to three conditions: PRMI, PRWME and RO. Vocabulary gains were measured in two dimensions: knowledge of orthography and knowledge of form-meaning mapping. Linear mixed-effects model (LMM) and repeated one-way ANOVA indicated that participants in the PRMI condition significantly outperformed those in the PRWME and RO conditions in both acquisition and retention of the aforementioned two dimensions of vocabulary knowledge. Implications of the study were discussed based on the findings of the study.

阅读前形态干预对词形复杂词汇习得和记忆的影响

本研究考察了读前形态指导（PRMI）与读前词义解释（PRWME）和只读附带学习（RO）对词形复杂词发展的影响。本研究将93名词汇量匹配的中国大学英语学习者随机分为三组：PRMI、PRWME和RO。词汇量的增加在两个方面进行测量：正字法知识和形式-意义映射知识。线性混合效应模型（LMM）和重复单因素方差分析表明，PRMI条件下的被试在上述两个维度词汇知识的习得和保留上都显著优于PRWME和RO条件下的被试。根据研究结果，讨论了本研究的意义。
