An Empirical Research on Vocabulary Teaching under the Vocabulary Presentation Mode of Form - similar Clustering: Take Vocabulary Acquisition of Non-English Majors from Vocational Colleges as an Example

摘要

This study makes an exploration of effects which are caused by different modes of vocabulary presentation on learning and retention of target words of Non-English majors from vocational colleges. Form-similar clustering and non-form clustering are two different modes of vocabulary presentation in vocabulary teaching this study probes into. The results showed that the vocabulary presentation modes of form-similar clustering and non-form-similar clustering affect learners' word learning and short time vocabulary retention. Mode of form-similar clustering vocabulary presentation makes strong interference with long term memorization of target words. What's more, the interference mainly comes from two aspects: one is that the target words interfere with each other, the other is that the negative transfer of learner's prior knowledge.
