Description
This poster presentation will report on a multi-site experiment that tested the effect of WMC on foreign language vocabulary learning. The target items were embedded within a highly supportive learning context which included input and output activities. Immediate and delayed post-test showed that even under such conditions, WMC was positively associated with vocabulary learning outcomes.
Summary
Few studies have addressed the relationship between working memory (WM) and vocabulary learning in a naturalistic (classroom) setting. In this study, we report on a multi-site experiment that assessed the effect of working memory capacity (WMC) on L2 vocabulary learning.
