Abstract

This study was to assess the spoken vocabulary knowledge and its role in incidental vocabulary learning from captioned television. The participants were a total of 87 minority students learning English as a foreign language in Australia. The breadth of their vocabulary knowledge was measured with a vocabulary size test, while the depth of their vocabulary knowledge was through an assessment of collocational and semantic relationships. The results indicated that (1) captioned videos are helpful for incidental vocabulary learning; (2) scores on the breadth and depth of vocabulary knowledge and incidental vocabulary learning from viewing captioned television are highly and positively correlated; and (3) scores on the depth of vocabulary knowledge can make a unique contribution to the prediction of incidental vocabulary learning at the form and meaning recognition level, in addition to the prediction afforded by scores on the breadth of vocabulary knowledge. The findings highlight a need to improve the depth of vocabulary knowledge for incidental vocabulary learning from captioned viewing.

口语词汇知识在少数民族学生附带字幕电视词汇学习中的作用

本研究旨在评估电视字幕中的口语词汇知识及其在附带词汇学习中的作用。参与者共有87名在澳大利亚学习英语的少数民族学生。他们的词汇知识广度是通过词汇大小测试来衡量的，而词汇知识的深度是通过对搭配和语义关系的评估来衡量的。结果表明：（1）字幕视频有助于附带词汇学习；（2）词汇知识的广度和深度得分与观看字幕电视的附带词汇学习得分高度正相关；以及（3）除了词汇知识广度的分数所提供的预测之外，词汇知识深度的分数还可以在形式和意义识别水平上对附带词汇学习的预测做出独特的贡献。研究结果强调了提高词汇知识深度的必要性，以便从字幕观看中进行附带词汇学习。
