자주적 어휘선택 전략에 의한 L2 어휘학습 및 학습자 견해

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of Vocabulary Self-collection Strategy (VSS) withglossing on L2 word recall and retention as well as learner perspectives on vocabulary knowledgeand word consciousness by the strategy in EFL classroom contexts. Methods: For the study, sixty-four learners were randomly allocated for both VSS accompanied withL1 glossing (VSSL1) and VSS accompanied with L2 glossing (VSSL2) groups. Data were collectedthrough a pre-test for collecting target words, two immediate and two delayed post vocabulary tests,and a retrospective questionnaire. Results: The results revealed that VSSL2 group significantly outperformed in immediate word recalland delayed retention in receptive and productive knowledge than VSSL1 group. In addition, overall,positive perceptions on the strategy were found in vocabulary knowledge and word consciousnessfrom the two groups. It is noteworthy that the VSSL2 group showed significantly higher mean scoreof the statement regarding long-term memory effect by the strategy. Conclusion: The results from VSS L2 group appeared to be attributed to deeper processing for form-meaningconnections of target words with higher involvement load in need to understand, search for themusing L2-L2 dictionary, and evaluation to check proper meanings in the context on their own. Thiscould be strengthened by the cooperative classroom discussions with peers and teacher guidance forfull comprehension of target language input. (Dankook University)
