Book Description
An experiment assessed the effectiveness of a mnemotechnic (memory technique), the keyword technique, for learning foreign language vocabulary. Participants were 60 Army enlisted personnel, 20 from each of the following ranges of general technical (GT) aptitude: 90 and below, 91-109, and 110 and above. All personnel learned the English translations of 15 Korean vocabulary terms at a self-paced rate. Half the personnel in each group were instructed in the keyword technique and were supplied keywords for each vocabulary item, whereas the remaining personnel served as a control group. According to the most representative criterion, the keyword group performed 79% better than the control group. Although of primary interest to other researchers, this report should also be of direct interest to the Defense Language Institute and the training community. (Author).

An Application of the Mnemonic Keyword Method to the Acquisition of a Russian Vocabulary
Author: Richard Chatham Atkinson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Russian language
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
An experiment is reported evaluating the effectiveness of a mnemonic procedure, called the keyword method, for learning a foreign language vocabulary. The method divides the study of a vocabulary item into two stages. The first stage requires S to associate the spoken foreign word to an English word (the keyword) that sounds like some part of the foreign word; the second stage requires S to form a mental image or picture of the keyword 'interacting' with the English translation. Thus, the keyword method can be described as a chain of two links connecting a foreign word to its English translation through the mediation of a keyword: the foreign word is linked to a keyword by a similarity in sound (acoustic link), and the keyword is linked to the English translation by a mental image (imagery link). The experiment reported compared the keyword method with an unconstrained control procedure using Russian vocabulary. On all measures the keyword method proved to be highly effective, yielding for the most critical test a score of 72% correct for the keyword group compared to 46% for the control group. (Author).
