本文试图调和关于第二语言(L2)词汇学习的两种观点:(a)推断词义产生更大的记忆,因为它促进了更深层次的加工;(b)如果做出错误的推断,错误的意思就会被保留。在初级计算机辅助语言学习(CALL)软件中,句子级的母语翻译可以同时满足这两个要求。当用户从这种类型的翻译中获得意义时,必须进行联想(即搜索语义等价),并将注意力集中在两种语言之间的结构差异上。此外,这些翻译更容易触发适当的图式,从而增加了形成正确联想的可能性,因此,更有可能将正确的意思记住。在本研究中,方差分析表明,在双语选择题测试中,获得句子级翻译的学习者对正确词义的短期(ST)和长期(LT)保留显著高于没有句子级翻译的学习者(p >.001)。结果表明,深层加工和意义验证之间可能存在协同作用。
This article attempts to reconcile two positions on second language (L2) vocabulary learning: (a) inferring word meanings produces greater retention because it promotes deeper processing, and (b) incorrect meanings are retained if wrong inferences are made. In beginning-level computer-assisted language learning (CALL) software, native language translations at the sentence level may satisfy both positions. When deriving meaning from translations of this type, users must make associations (i.e., search for semantic equivalents) and focus their attention on structural differences between the two languages. Moreover, these translations increase the likelihood of making correct associations by more readily triggering appropriate schemata and, hence, the likelihood of committing the correct meaning to memory. In the present study, a MANOVA indicated that, given bilingual multiple-choice tests, learners with access to sentence-level translations demonstrated significantly greater short-term (ST) and long-term (LT) retention (p > .001) of correct word meanings than learners without sentence-level translations. Results suggest a possible synergy between deep processing and verifications of meaning.
