반복 노출과 시각적 입력 강화가 어휘 습득에 미치는 영향

This study investigated the effects of repeated encounters and visual input enhancement on vocabulary learning from reading a graded reader. A total of 58 college students were randomly assigned to read either an enhanced or an unenhanced text that contained twelve target words. Four measures of vocabulary knowledge – word-form recognition, word-category selection, meaning translation in L1 and meaning recognition tests – were administered immediately after reading and two weeks later. The results indicated that more repeated encounters generally led to more vocabulary learning. However, effects of repetition were not observed consistently. Also, visual input enhancement had significantly positive effects only on the delayed word-category selection test. Implications of the findings are discussed, and directions for future research are suggested. (118 words)
