Abstract

The L1 Context Embedding Method that has been proposed and tested by Zi-Gang (2015), consists of inserting target L2 vocabulary, with translations in brackets, into an L1 story text. It has been demonstrated by Zi-Gang (2015) to be more effective than rote memorization. This current study tested the L1 Context Embedding Method against the Keyword Method (Atkinson, 1975) to see if the two methods are comparable. Sixteen university students from an Elementary Spanish class were taught 10 novel Spanish words using each method in a counterbalanced presentation order. They were administered an immediate posttest for each set of 10 words according to each method, then a combined delayed posttest a week later. The test scores showed that the two methods are comparable, since outside factors affected the scores more than the methods themselves. The results also indicated that the L1 Context Embedding Method was slightly more effective in the immediate posttest, but the Keyword Method was moderately more effective in the delayed posttest.
外语词汇教学中的母语语境嵌入法:与关键词法的比较研究
Zi-Gang(2015)提出并测试的第一语言语境嵌入方法是将目标二语词汇(括号内为译文)插入第一语言故事文本中。Zi-Gang(2015)已经证明它比死记硬背更有效。本研究将L1上下文嵌入法与关键词方法(Atkinson, 1975)进行了对比,看看这两种方法是否具有可比性。在西班牙语初等班,16名大学生接受了10个新西班牙语单词的教学。他们根据每种方法对每组10个单词进行即时后测,然后在一周后进行联合延迟后测。测试成绩表明,这两种方法是可比性的,因为外部因素对分数的影响大于方法本身。结果还表明,L1上下文嵌入法在即时后测中效果略好,而关键词嵌入法在延迟后测中效果略好。

期刊介绍: Channels is an open access journal for all aspects of ion channel research. The journal publishes high quality papers that shed new light on ion channel and ion transporter/exchanger function, structure, biophysics, pharmacology, and regulation in health and disease. Channels welcomes interdisciplinary approaches that address ion channel physiology in areas such as neuroscience, cardiovascular sciences, cancer research, endocrinology, and gastroenterology. Our aim is to foster communication among the ion channel and transporter communities and facilitate the advancement of the field.
