Resumen:

In response to the growing prevalence of online second language learning and the burgeoning field of international Chinese language education, this study examines the impact of multimodal inputs (MMI) on vocabulary acquisition within online environments among learners of Chinese as a second language (CSL).

The findings indicate that the audiovisual condition significantly improved vocabulary retention compared to the single-modality conditions in a delayed post-test.

The translation responses were classified into four levels based on the semantic distance between such answers and the intended word meanings. Subsequently, five distinct scoring schemes were devised, encompassing strict and lenient 2-point schemes, strict and lenient 3-point schemes, and a 4-point scheme....
