Learning Words from Dictionaries and Context: a Replication

概要

論文の詳細を見る
Two means by which second language learners encounter and learn new words are through reading L2 texts and by looking up words in monolingual learners' dictionaries. How the word knowledge gained via these means differs is not fully understood. This paper reports a replication of an experiment by U. Fischer (1994) investigating this question, although differing from Fischer's experiment in two main ways: the subjects' L1 and the source material. The results of the study did confirm the greater accuracy of subjects using dictionary definitions, but they also highlighted a number of major design faults in the experimental methods employed.
