Repeating and Remembering Foreign Language Words: Implications for Language Teaching Systems

Repeating and Remembering Foreign Language Words: Implications for Language Teaching Systems The current experiment examined the proposal thatvisible speech can help with a difficult signal suchas listening to a foreign language. This work extendsearlier work by examining whether presenting the faceof the speaker improves the accuracy of repetitions ofshort phrases of a language participants had not heardbefore (Korean) as well as examining whether thismanipulation facilitates performance on a subsequentold/new recognition task. The results showed that bothrepetition accuracy and the subsequent memory offoreign language phrases were improved by showing thespeaker's face. The implication of this finding isthat foreign language learning will benefit by usinga presentation method that includes the visible speechof the speaker. Ways that this might be reasonablyachieved using a computer interface are discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Artificial Intelligence Review Springer Journals

Abstract

The current experiment examined the proposal thatvisible speech can help with a difficult signal suchas listening to a foreign language. This work extendsearlier work by examining whether presenting the faceof the speaker improves the accuracy of repetitions ofshort phrases of a language participants had not heardbefore (Korean) as well as examining whether thismanipulation facilitates performance on a subsequentold/new recognition task. The results showed that bothrepetition accuracy and the subsequent memory offoreign language phrases were improved by showing thespeaker's face. The implication of this finding isthat foreign language learning will benefit by usinga presentation method that includes the visible speechof the speaker. Ways that this might be reasonablyachieved using a computer interface are discussed.
