EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY

acquisition & learning of lexical items in the L2 or TL are influenced by the

frequency of the comprehension tools

available to L2 learners

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY


1.] determine the extent of pre-test & post-test of vocabulary recognition & retention of students;

2.] ascertain significant difference in the pre and post-treatment of vocabulary recognition & retention;


3.] ascertain the level of vocabulary recognition & retention in terms of pictorial, written, and both pictorial & written annotations;4.] determine significant effect of hypermedia-assisted instruction on vocabulary recognition and retention;

Understanding some terms


1.] Hypermedia-assisted instruction – classroom instruction with the use of media such as macromedia, power point, videos, e-net, & other technology2.] Semantic encoding – process of understanding & recognizing meaning of lexical items of L2 or TL


3.] Pictorial annotation – the technique of teaching L2 concepts using images and pictures4.] Written annotation – the technique of teaching L2 using written texts & passages5.] Pictorial & written annotation – using both pictures/images & texts

Picture an office where the man sits before the computer and starts a software application.

As the phone rings, he does not bother to rise, instead he has handed the handset and as he takes the call,

the floor is being vacuumed and hot food being readied for lunch. The man is a bachelor and his servant is a robot.

EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY

As the phone rings, he does not bother to rise, instead he has handed the handset and as he takes the call,

the floor is being vacuumed and hot food being readied for lunch. The man is a bachelor and his servant is a robot.

Evaluation (Pre & Post-test)Directions: Each number consists of an underlined word followed by five words marked 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. You are to pick the one word whose meaning is most nearly the same as that of the underlined word which is given. Then, encircle the number corresponding to your answer. 1.) Picture a home where the man of the house sits before the television. 1.) describe 2.) imagine 3.) state 4.) classify 5.) draw 2.) The man of the house sits before the television. 1.) rock 2.) building 3.) home 4.) hotel 5.) pad 3.) The man claps his hand and the show unfolds before his eyes. 1.) begins 2.) opens 3.) folds 4.) commences 5.) starts 4.) He does not bother to rise.

1.) dare 2.) worry 3.) care 4.) afraid 5.) stop


FINDINGS1.] First year education students demonstrated low prior knowledge of the lexical items. This can be attributed to low exposure and unfamiliarity of the learning materials.2.] There is a significant difference of the pre-treatment & post-treatment vocabulary recognition and retention test to 2 experimental groups.


3.] Pictorial and written annotations mode of learning were found to be effective in developing efficiency in vocabulary recognition and retention among respondents of the two experimental groups. 4.] Students with access to pictorial annotation performed better in vocabulary recognition and retention test using pictorial mode in hypermedia-learning environment.


5.] Written annotation as a teaching-learning mode has no significant effect on vocabulary recognition and retention of students.6.] Combination of both pictorial & written modes of learning lexical items significantly contribute and influence vocabulary recognition and retention than those with access to written annotation alone.
