Research-oriented Presentation (30-minutes) Japanese and Other Language Teaching & Learning Room 405

Speaker

Dr Michael Green (Rikkyo University)

Description

This is a classroom-based experiment with Japanese L2 learners of English on the mnemonic effect of alliteration with novel collocations. It is motivated by prior research, with samples drawn mostly from a Dutch L1 population, using familiar collocations as test stimuli. The treatment phase incorporates a dictation activity and study period. The testing instruments include immediate free-recall tests of the written forms, followed by three-week delayed tests of both form and meaning.
