Resumen:

In foreign or second language (L2) classrooms, learners often vocalize when learning new words. Indeed, previous studies have demonstrated that vocalization is effective for memorization and this is called the production effect (PE). Furthermore, PE has been observed in the learning of L2 word meanings as well. However, whether this can be applied to larger language items is unknown. Thus, the present study tested the effect of vocalization on learning L2 formulaic sequence (FS), a sequence of words such as collocations. To achieve this, the participants in the present study learned 90 verb–noun collocations and were tested on recognition of their forms and meanings both immediately and one week after the learning session. The result showed that vocalization enhances learning of forms and meanings of L2 FSs, and this effect is...

Este estudio presenta un análisis sobre el aprendizaje y uso comunicativo de colocaciones de aprendices de español como lengua extranjera (ELE). Para efectuar este análisis, se diseñó un instrumento que se conforma de un cuestionario y un corpus denominado Corpus de Aprendices de Colocaciones ELE (CACE), cuyo objetivo es identificar la producción de colocaciones, errores comunes y patrones de uso que muestren evidencia de la verbalización de estos fenómenos. Así, se presenta una fundamentación teórica sobre lingüística de corpus y las colocaciones, así como una clasificación de la taxonomía de colocaciones en materia de ELE. También se describe el proceso que se llevó a cabo para la obtención de...

Resumen:

This study investigates the relative effectiveness of two methods for teaching a set of English verb–noun collocations: form-focused instruction (FFI) and concept-based instruction (CBI). The sample comprised 73 Chinese-speaking learners of English taking intermediate English courses, who were randomly assigned to one of three groups: an FFI intervention group, a CBI intervention group, and a control group. In order to determine the effects of the two instructional methods, the participants’ collocational knowledge was measured in three ways: via form recall testing, form recognition testing, and meaning recall testing. Specifically, all of the participants took pretests, immediate posttests, and one-week delayed posttests. The results of a comparison of the learning gains between the three groups showed that the CBI and FFI...

Resumen:

This study explored how to promote incidental collocation learning from task-based reading. In this study, 101 Cantonese speakers read three English texts that contained 12 target collocations. Playing a role as an editor of a magazine, participants were asked to determine if the three texts were acceptable to be published in the next issue. While half of the participants (– Guidance, n = 50) were asked to simply accept or reject the texts after reading, the other half (+ Guidance, n = 51) received task guidance that contained a list of specific reviewing criteria. Participants’ eye-movements were recorded during the editor task, and 10 participants from each condition were asked to produce stimulated recalls while viewing their eye-movements. The rest of the participants’ (n = 81) knowledge about the target collocations was measured...

En este trabajo, empezamos por defender la importancia del conocimiento de colocaciones para los estudiantes de ELE. La falta del conocimiento puede provocar frases que pueden ser gramaticalmente correctas pero poco naturales como lluvia pesada. Aprendiendo colocaciones se amplía el vocabulario y se mejora la capacidad de expresión. Sin embargo, en cada lengua existen numerosas palabras que forman una gran cantidad de colocaciones, por lo que es provechoso buscar una estrategia que facilite el aprendizaje de estas. Considerando que la analogía que existe entre el español y el inglés ayuda a mejorar la enseñanza de la colocación, hemos establecido un material docente basado en esta analogía. El...

Resumen:

The purpose of this study was to find out, whether three methods of presenting input, were effective in relation to language aptitude. Persian-speaking learners of English were provided with 20 grammatical collocations (verb–preposition collocations) embedded in authentic passages, lexically/grammatically elaborated passages, and lexically/grammatically elaborated passages with shorter sentences and enhanced target collocations. Participants were assessed on their receptive knowledge and productive knowledge of the grammatical collocations by a posttest and a delayed posttest, and their scores were correlated with various measures of language aptitude. The results suggested that modified elaborated input, which provided more focus on form (FonF), positively affected immediate and long-term gains in receptive knowledge and ruled out...

Resumen:

This study investigated the effects of different retrieval formats on the acquisition and processing automaticity of second language (L2) verb–noun collocations. Chinese learners of English completed retrieval practice that included a familiarization stage (using flashcards and form–meaning matching practice) and two spaced retrieval attempts (i.e. verb-retrieval-twice, noun-retrieval-twice, verb/noun-retrieval-once) with corrective feedback for each target collocation. In near-immediate and one-week delayed posttests, the acquisition of L2 collocations was assessed by an off-line form recall task (explicit knowledge), and the processing automaticity was operationalized as collocation processing advantage (automatized-explicit knowledge) in an online acceptability judgment task and collocation priming (implicit knowledge) in an online...

El artículo presenta ideas para clases en línea utilizando Google Docs y Skype. En la parte teórica se explica el concepto de enseñanza virtual asincrónica y sincrónica. Se comentan las ventajas e inconvenientes de ambos modos de enseñanza. Los ejercicios prácticos utilizan sobre todo los métodos y herramientas sincrónicos y tienen el propósito de utilizar varias aplicaciones de Google Docs. Todas las tareas se adaptan a diferentes estilos de aprendizaje. La primera está relacionada con recordar y repetir colocaciones y expresiones. En el segundo ejercicio se utiliza una fotografía y se la etiqueta aprovechando la opción dada por Google Drawing. En la tercera tarea se aplican tanto las estrategias...

Resumen:

A growing number of studies have probed the effectiveness of certain exercise formats in the learning of multi-word expressions (MWEs) in classroom settings. However, a number of important variables, such as MWE retention over an extended period of time and the role of repetition, have so far not been considered. Furthermore, studies have focused primarily on university level learners, with young L2 learners being almost entirely disregarded. The present study sought to address these gaps with 148 high school students who were randomly assigned one of three fill-in-the-gap exercises: (1) word-format, where participants selected the appropriate verb from a list provided; (2) letter-format, where the first-letter of the missing verb was provided as a clue; and (3) phrase-format, where participants chose an appropriate intact phrase from...
