自由論文It is said that extensive reading and inferring word meanings from context (top-down approaches) are effective in building up vocabulary, but this holds for relatively advanced language learners (Knight 1994). For low-proficiency students, resorting to building up vocabulary only by top-down approaches is not realistic. Thus, the focus of this paper is on building up vocabulary through a bilingual word list (bottom-up approaches) which has been still popular among students. The purpose of this study is to find an effective way of learning vocabulary using a word list based on the past studies on word retention. The comparative experiment was conducted to the three groups of Japanese college students and the results were analyzed with descriptive statistics.一般的に,多読や文脈からの語彙の類推などトップ・ダウン方式で語彙を増やすのが効果的だと言われている. しかしながら, 語彙力の低い学生にとって, トップ・ダウン方式に加えてボトム・アップ的な語彙学習が効果的 (Knight, 1994) かつ現実的なように思われる. そこで, 今回, 学生がよく使っている日英対照単語リストによる語彙学習 (ボトム・アップ方式) に焦点をあててみた。過去の研究を基に, 単語リストを用いていかに効果的な語彙学習ができるかを検証していく. 日本人学生3グループを対象に, 重要と思われる要素を加えた単語リストを使って, 比較実験を行なった結果を報告する.
