Resumen:

Vocabulary learning is basic for mastering a foreign language. Many students learn foreign language (FL) vocabulary via instructional videos outside of traditional classrooms, as there is no limit to time or space. Cues (e.g. coloring, highlighting, arrows, and text) are design features in instructional videos that not only guide learners' attention, but also facilitate the organization and integration of information. However, little is known about how visual cues and text cues influence FL vocabulary learning from instructional videos. In Experiment 1, we tested the effects of synonym text cues presented before the instructional video and visual cues during the video. Effects were measured in terms of participants' judgments of learning and objective measures of learning performance (indicated by accuracy on immediate and delayed...

Incidental collocation learning from reading-while-listening and captioned TV viewing and predictors of learning gains

Duy Van Vu, Ann-Sophie Noreillie, Elke Peters (2023)

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Resumen:

Although a number of previous studies have shown that TV viewing can lead to incidental vocabulary learning, most of them focused on single words. Little research has examined the effect of captioned TV viewing on incidental collocation learning compared with other modes of input. In addition, research on the factors that affect incidental collocation from different input modes is still relatively scarce and has produced inconclusive findings. To fill those research gaps, the present study investigates the effects of reading-while-listening and captioned TV viewing on incidental collocation learning and predictors of learning gains. Eighty Vietnamese English as a foreign language (EFL) learners were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group encountered 24 target collocations in two stories in two...

The wisdom of crowds: When teacher judgments outperform word-frequency as a predictor of students’ vocabulary

Tipo: artículo

Temas: vocabulario

Resumen:

This study investigated the effectiveness of word-frequency and teacher judgments in determining students’ vocabulary knowledge and compared the predictive powers of both approaches when estimating vocabulary knowledge. Twenty-nine second language (L2) Spanish teachers were asked to predict how likely their students would know words from a 216-word Yes/No test that measures knowledge of the first 3,000 words in Spanish. The accuracy of their responses was compared with the results of 1,075 L2 Spanish students who completed the same test. To examine if the results could generalize to other L2 settings, 394 L2 English students completed a 70-word Yes/No test that measures knowledge of the first 14,000 words in English, and 15 L2 English language instructors attempted to predict which words would or would not be recognized. Results...

The effects of task type and word processing on incidental vocabulary learning: an eye-tracking extension of Hill and Laufer (2003)

While research suggests that vocabulary learning through task completion is more effective than direct instruction, the underlying cause of this advantage—whether task involvement load (IL) or time spent on tasks—remains unclear. Extending the work of Hill and Laufer (2003, International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 41, 87–106), this study examines the effects of IL and employs eye-tracking to investigate how time spent on tasks, target words, and context, as well as regressions to targets, influence incidental vocabulary acquisition. Seventy-three second-language (L2) English learners were...

Vocabulario y enseñanza del español

Anna Rufat, Francisco Jiménez Calderón, Magdalena Abad Castelló (2026)

Tipo: libro

Resumen:

Vocabulario y enseñanza del español se adentra en la naturaleza y la adquisición del léxico, su relevancia en el dominio lingüístico y comunicativo, y, en consecuencia, su peso en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas.

En primer lugar, este libro profundiza en los diferentes rasgos de las palabras, en las relaciones que estas establecen entre sí, con la gramática y con el contexto para conformar el mensaje de todo texto y articular la interacción. A continuación, se abordan los aspectos y factores involucrados en el proceso de adquisición de las unidades léxicas. Todo este análisis pone de manifiesto las complejas tareas a las que se enfrentan los aprendientes durante el proceso de adquisición de una lengua y, en particular, de su vocabulario. Para resolverlas, se proponen orientaciones metodológicas que parten de las...

Resumen:

Texto completo

There is a great deal of variation in gains found between studies of second language (L2) incidental vocabulary learning, as well as many factors that affect learning. This meta-analysis investigated the effects of exposure to L2 meaning-focused input on incidental vocabulary learning with an aim to clarify the proportional gains that occur through meaning-focused learning. Twenty-four primary studies were retrieved providing 29 different effect sizes and a total sample size of 2,771 participants (1,517 in experimental groups vs. 1,254 in control groups). Results showed large overall effects...

BiBLexSpan. Bibliografía de estudios sobre unidades léxicas del español

Tipo: otro

Temas: vocabulario

Resumen:

BibLexSpan es una bibliografía que reúne referencias bibliográficas de trabajos científicos centrados en el estudio de las unidades léxicas de la lengua española.

Entendemos por “unidad léxica” cualquier elemento que forme parte del español: morfemas, palabras o expresiones formadas por varias palabras (locuciones, construcciones, unidades fraseológicas, refranes, proverbios). En un sentido amplio, el término abarca tanto unidades léxicas en sentido estricto como unidades gramaticales.

Los estudios listados en la bibliografía BibLexSpan pueden estar escritos en cualquier idioma, siempre que traten al menos una unidad de la lengua española. Dado que el enfoque se centra en unidades concretas, se excluyen aquellos trabajos que tratan aspectos generales del léxico del español sin aportar un...

Resumen:

Los contextos de aprendizaje se conforman como una de las variables más influyentes en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras. Tomando de muestra dos grupos de estudiantes angloparlantes de ELE de nivel medio-superior, uno en contexto de aprendizaje formal (escolarizado) y otro en contexto de estancia en un país hispanohablante, presentamos un análisis de la productividad de cada grupo en las tareas de fluidez categorial empleadas en la disponibilidad léxica y comparamos las redes semánticas que se construyen en el léxico disponible de cada uno, en dos centros de interés con configuración interna distinta (“los animales” y “la ciudad”). Los resultados muestran diferencias notables: una mayor productividad del grupo en contexto de estancia y unas redes de menor tamaño, más densas y con nodos más interconectados en el grupo en contexto...

AI chatbot-assisted vocabulary learning: Relationships with self-regulation, motivation, and performance among Chinese private college students

Tipo: artículo

Metodología: estudio empírico

Resumen:

This study empirically investigated the application of a large language-model-driven artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot in self-regulated vocabulary acquisition among Chinese private college students. An 8-week experiment comparing AI-chatbot-assisted and conventional self-regulated vocabulary learning demonstrated that AI chatbot assistance could significantly improve vocabulary performance both across and within groups. Results revealed that the use of AI chatbot not only improved learning outcomes directly through personalized, self-paced learning but also indirectly by enhancing vocabulary learning strategy use and satisfying basic psychological needs. Notably, metacognitive strategy use fully mediated the relationship between perceived autonomy and vocabulary performance. Moreover, perceived autonomy moderated the effect of the...
