本研究基於字彙學習以及字彙學習策略的重要性，探討台灣國中學生使用字彙學習策略的情形。且加入其在字彙學習程度高低的因素，來探討台灣國中學生使用策略之情形。本研究問題有二：第一，台灣國中學生最常使用的字彙學習策略有哪些？最不常使用的字彙學習策略有哪些？第二，台灣國中學生字彙學習程度與字彙學習策略之間是否有關聯性？如果有，其關聯性又為何？本研究依據Oxford（1990）的語言學習策略分類標準，測驗某台北市立國中二年級的學生使用字彙學習策略的情形，同時也比較字彙學習程度不同的學生使用這些策略的頻率高低。結果顯示如下：(1)台灣國中學生最常使用的字彙學習策略為認知策略，最少使用的字彙學習策略為情意策略。(2)程度高的學生使用字彙學習策略的頻率高於程度低的學生。此研究結果可為英語教師和學習者在字彙教與學方面提供一些參考，讓英語字彙的教學變得更加有效率。 / The study investigates the usage of English vocabulary learning strategies by some junior high school students in Taiwan. The factor of the levels of the students is included. There are two research questions: (1) what are the most commonly used English vocabulary learning strategies among junior high school students in Taiwan? (2) whether the levels of the students are related to the types of vocabulary learning strategies they use? If the answer is “yes”, what relationship it is? The study is based on the language learning strategies in Oxford（1990）. The subjects are some second graders in a junior high school in Taipei. In the study, the researcher compares the usage of English vocabulary learning strategies among students at different vocabulary levels. The result shows that the most commonly used vocabulary strategy among the students is cognitive strategy, and the least commonly used one is affective strategy. Furthermore, the result also shows that higher level students use vocabulary learning strategies more often than lower level students. The researcher hopes that this study could give the English learners some suggestions to make vocabulary learning more effective.

Researchers have explored second language (L2) teachers' knowledge focusing not only on their prior language learning experience, previous L2 teacher education, and teaching practices, but also on specific curricular areas, such as teaching L2 grammar, teaching L2 reading, and teaching L2 writing. This line of research has contributed to L2 teacher education, particularly how to develop an effective knowledge base for teacher candidates. This dissertation was conducted to investigate English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers' knowledge of vocabulary instruction. Specifically, employing three qualitative techniques for data collection (i.e., interviews, classroom observations, and stimulated recall), the study examined seven Chinese EFL university teachers'knowledge of vocabulary instruction from four dimensions: their beliefs about vocabulary learning, their understandings about vocabulary teaching, the relationship between their knowledge of vocabulary instruction and vocabulary teaching practices, and the sources of their knowledge about vocabulary instruction. The findings of the study indicate that Chinese EFL teachers have well-developed content knowledge of EFL vocabulary. They also have well-established belief systems about how to learn and teach vocabulary. Moreover, their beliefs about vocabulary teaching tend to be consistent with their vocabulary teaching practices though some inconsistencies have been identified as well. It was also found that Chinese EFL teachers¡¯ knowledge of vocabulary instruction is derived from a variety of sources, of which formal EFL education and teaching practices are considered as the two most influential. EFL teachers' individual differences were also identified to impact their beliefs about vocabulary instruction. This dissertation has at least three potential contributions. As one of the first attempts to investigate teacher knowledge of vocabulary instruction in the field of L2 teacher education, this research expands studies on L2 teachers' knowledge base. It also provides information about L2 teachers' knowledge in one less studied context, i.e., Chinese EFL vocabulary teaching. Finally, the use of observations, interviews, and stimulated recall to collect data in this study serves as an impetus for enriching techniques to examine Chinese EFL teacher knowledge.

The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the educational games as a technique in the preschool-level English vocabulary learning of four year-olds. A true-experimental study design, specifically randomized pre-test, post-test control group design, was adopted. The sample was 33 private preschool children who were four years old. There were 17 females and 16 males in total. Data collection instrument was the 24-item English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Vocabulary Performance checklist prepared in accordance with the Total Physical Response (TPR) lessons&rsquo / content by the researcher. A pilot study, reliability and validity checks were done. In a four-week period, totally 24 vocabulary items were presented with picture cards by using Total Physical Response Method to both groups. In the experimental group, picture vocabulary games were used additionally while the control group did not receive picture vocabulary games. At the end, independent-samples t-test was conducted and the results indicated a significant difference in English Vocabulary achievement in favor of the experimental group which was taught by the educational picture vocabulary games with a large effect size. In addition, whether or not there was a gender effect on learning vocabularies of English as a foreign language with picture vocabulary games in the experimental group and without picture vocabulary games in the control group was investigated by means of t-tests. As a result, non-significant gender effect was found for both experimental and control group in learning English vocabulary. Upon understanding the remarkable effectiveness of the picture vocabulary games on English language learning for four year-olds, it can be implied that more picture vocabulary games should be devised for very young learners by the experts for the classroom use and the number of the books about educational vocabulary games should be increased. Furthermore, policy makers ought to prepare English as a foreign language curriculum including games for early childhood education programs, and integrate a new course about teaching English to very young learners into foreign language teacher training and education programs of the universities for pre-service teachers in the scope of a national foreign language policy.

The purpose of this study, which is grounded in applied linguistics, was to investigate two ways of presenting vocabulary in a German language class in order to determine whether Frame Semantics is a feasible tool with regards to students’ vocabulary acquisition and culturally appropriate usage of vocabulary. In addition, this study examined learners’ attitudes toward the new method of vocabulary teaching and learning. A total of 34 university students enrolled in four second-semester German classes participated in this study. In the Control Group rote memorization techniques were used, while the in the Treatment Group frame semantics was utilized for the teaching and learning of vocabulary. The data was analyzed through quantitative methods. The quantitative data was derived from an online demographic survey, a vocabulary pre-test, two vocabulary post-tests (an immediate post-test and delayed post-test), a cultural appropriateness pre-test, two cultural appropriateness post-tests (an immediate post-test and delayed post-test), as well as an pre-test and post-test attitude scale provided as an online questionnaire. Analysis of the data indicates that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups with regards to their cultural appropriate usage of the vocabulary items, and no statistically significant differences were observed with regards to vocabulary recall and retention. In addition, only the factor of enjoyment yielded significant differences with regards to learners’ attitude, while the factors of motivation, interest and confidence did not show statistically significant differences between the groups. Thus, the results indicate that both methods – Frame Semantics and the more traditional methods – are suitable for vocabulary learning and teaching as both methods resulted in an increase of learners’ vocabulary knowledge, including long-term retention. / text

Cette recherche-action expérimentale présente la force qui manifeste le lexique mental dans l’enseignement du vocabulaire en FLE. Elle a été développée avec le groupe expérimental du français II du programme de lettres modernes à l’université du Quindío en Colombie. Les étudiants présentaient un faible niveau en français dans les activités orales et écrites. Le manque du vocabulaire a été un élément présent dans la production de la langue. Le but de cette recherche est d'améliorer l'acquisition du vocabulaire en français par le biais d'une série de séances d'apprentissage du passé composé en tenant compte les trois piliers de la connaissance des mots exprimés par Nation 2013 le sens la forme et l’utilisation et la théorie de Pinker 2011 sur les mots et les règles les ingrédients du langage et évaluer ces séances pour voir si elles ont affecté leur performance sur un test de français, examen final. Un pré-test et un post-test ont été appliqués, le premier a servi pour établir les problèmes qui avaient les étudiants en apprenant ce temps verbal, le second a mesuré les résultats obtenus après la fin des séances. Les résultats ont été comparés à ceux du groupe contrôle qui a eu un enseignement centré sur la grammaire. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que les étudiants ont amélioré les compétences pour s’approprier de la forme, le sens et l’utilisation des verbes réguliers et irréguliers en français afin de réduire l’effet de fossilisation des erreurs ; récurrente des étudiants de tous les niveaux dans le programme. En conséquence, le groupe expérimental s’est mieux comporté dans l’examen final que le groupe contrôle et donc l’appropriation a été améliorée. / This research presents the force that manifests the mental lexicon in teaching vocabulary in French as a foreign language. This experimental action research was developed with the experimental French group II EG from the program of modern languages at the University of Quindio in Armenia City, in Colombia. Students presented a low level in oral and written French activities. The lack of vocabulary was a recurrent element in the expression of the language. The purpose of this research is therefore focused on improving vocabulary acquisition in French through a series of learning sessions of the French’s present perfect taking into account the three pillars of the knowledge of words expressing by Nation 2013 meaning, form and usage and Pinker 2011 theory about words and rules the ingredients of language and evaluate these sessions to see that so affected their performance on a test of French, final exam. A pre-test and post examination was conducted, the first served as background to establish the problems that had students in learning this tense, the second measured results obtained by students after completion of the respective sessions. Results were compared to a control group CG. Through this study, it was concluded that the sessions learning of the French’s present perfect improved their capabilities to internalize the form, the meaning and usage of both regular and irregular French verbs to reduce the effect of fossilization of an error that was a recurring of students at all levels in the modern languages program. As a result, the EG performed better in the final exam than the CG and thus the appropriation of the French present perfect was improved.

Este trabalho visa compilar uma lista de palavras do português do Brasil, freqüentes e de grande alcance no contexto acadêmico brasileiro, e discutir sua utilidade no ensino de vocabulário, na preparação de textos modificados e de testes de vocabulário para aprendizes de Português como língua estrangeira. Discutimos também a questão do ensino direto e indireto de vocabulário. Para a compilação da lista, foi criado um corpus composto de teses e dissertações de 3 universidades públicas brasileiras, perfazendo um total de pouco mais de 7 milhões de palavras (aproximadamente 15 mil páginas de texto). Foram usados os critérios de freqüência e alcance para a seleção das palavras a serem incluídas na lista. As palavras são apresentadas com a freqüência e, nos casos de polissemia, com os diferentes significados com que ocorrem no corpus / Abstract: Corpora based word lists have been important for the teaching of vocabulary in foreign language. This paper aims to put together a list of high frequency and range Brazilian Portuguese academic words, and discuss direct and indirect vocabulary acquisition, the usefulness of modified texts for language learners and the use of word lists for the elaboration of vocabulary tests. A corpus was assembled from thesis and dissertations from 3 Brazilian public universities, totaling a little over 7 million words (approximately 15.000 pages of text). Frequency and range were the criteria used to select the words to be included in the list. Information about the number of times the words occur in the corpus and the different meanings they have, in the case of polysemy, is provided. / Mestrado / Lingua Estrangeira / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Cette recherche constitue une première étape dans l’élaboration d’un dictionnaire de collocations du lexique scientifique transdisciplinaire (LST), conçu pour aider des étudiants ou des chercheurs dans la rédaction de discours scientifiques ou universitaires, quel que soit leur domaine d’études. Elle a permis de concevoir deux modèles originaux d’articles de dictionnaire donnant accès aux collocations de termes nominaux et verbaux caractéristiques du LST. Les modèles d’articles sont ensuite appliqués à la description d’un échantillon de termes nominaux : analyse, caractéristique, figure, hypothèse, rapport et résultat; et verbaux : décrire et étudier. Les articles conçus dans ce mémoire offrent un accès convivial aux collocations du LST en situation de rédaction. Ils ont l’avantage de proposer une organisation cohérente de ce lexique sur les plans syntaxique et sémantique. En outre, ils permettent de présenter les termes du LST dans des contextes variés, ce qui peut contribuer au développement de la compétence lexicale. / This research is the first step in the development of a collocations dictionary of “lexique scientifique transdisciplinaire” (LST), which is similar to the academic vocabulary, a collocations dictionary conceived to help students or researchers in scientific or academic writing, regardless of their field. In this research, we first developed two original models of dictionary articles which provide access to collocations of nouns and verbs characteristic of LST. Secondly, the models are used to describe a sample of nominal terms: analyse, caractéristique, figure, hypothèse, rapport, and résultat; and verbal terms: décrire, and étudier. The models developed in this thesis offer a convenient access to LST collocations in writing context. The advantage of these models is to propose a coherent organization of the lexicon in syntactic and semantic terms. In addition, they are made to present the LST terms in different contexts, which may contribute to the development of lexical competence.

本文的研究問題有三：一是了解現今華語綜合性教材語素教學的內容與編排方式；二是提出關於本文分析之華語綜合性教材以語素為基礎的詞彙教學建議；三是教師面對不同教材時，應該如何因應與落實以語素為基礎的詞彙教學。 本文首先從海峽兩岸的專家、學者們對於詞彙教學領域的相關研究和詞彙教學的現狀著手，發現詞彙教學理論研究成果與教學應用脫節，因此如何有效利用漢語詞彙語義特徵和結構特徵進行詞彙教學，值得深入研究。本文將焦點集中於語素教學的理論與教學實施原則，分析在臺灣與中國使用率極高的兩套華語綜合性教材---《新版實用視聽華語》和《新實用漢語課本》，以了解目前教材中語素教學內容的現況。 分析結果發現，兩套教材皆呈現語素教學設計，但是《新版實用視聽華語》的語素分析出現瑕疵，且缺乏詞彙結構分析；而《新實用漢語課本》不論是語素分析或詞彙結構分析，都能以學習者已知的詞彙為基礎而設計。本文參考前人的研究和教材的分析，提出對於這兩套教材中以語素為基礎的詞彙教學建議。最後，本文綜合語素教學研究、教材分析和教學應用，提出一套更完整的語素教學實施原則，以利於教師面對不同教材時得以參考依循。 關鍵字：語素、語素教學、詞彙教學、新版實用視聽華語、新實用漢語課本 / There are three research aspects in this paper: (1) To understand the content and structure of two main current Mandarin pedagogical materials in the context of morpheme-based vocabulary teaching. (2) To provide some teaching suggestions for the design of morpheme-based vocabulary teaching of those two materials. (3) To propose vocabulary teaching strategies on employing morpheme-based vocabulary teaching when teachers are facing different textbooks. In vocabulary teaching, this paper makes an overview of research literature by cross strait scholars, and finds that there is a missing link between theory study and teaching application. It’s promising to explore semantic and morphology of Chinese vocabulary to facilitate vocabulary teaching; thus, morpheme-based vocabulary teaching is proposed. We evaluate two most popular textbooks Practical Audio-visual Chinese 2nd edition and New Practical Chinese Reader to get a picture of how morpheme-based vocabulary teaching is presented. Both textbooks do have morpheme-based vocabulary teaching design. Practical Audio-visual Chinese 2nd edition is faulty in morpheme analysis, and short of analysis of morphology of Chinese vocabulary. New Practical Chinese Reader deserves praising by editing the content of morpheme-based vocabulary teaching at the basis of learned vocabulary, and it excels in the analysis of both morpheme and morphology. Referring to previous studies in this area, we propose recommendations for morpheme-based vocabulary teaching with these two materials. To assist teachers in dealing with various textbooks, we provide practical teaching operation principles, through a comprehensive study of morpheme-based vocabulary teaching, textbook analysis, and teaching application research. Wish this study will help Mandarin teachers teach vocabulary more efficiently.

Le vocabulaire tient toujours une place importante dans l’enseignement supérieur du français à titre de spécialité en Chine. Afin de connaître les apports des recherches scientifiques dans le domaine de l’enseignement/apprentissage du vocabulaire d’une langue étrangère et de trouver les assises théoriques pour notre travail, nous avons dressé un état des lieux en privilégiant des données essentielles sur l’aspect combinatoire des mots. Pour savoir quels seraient des acquis et problèmes relatifs au vocabulaire dans l’enseignement du français à titre de spécialité universitaire en Chine, nous avons analysé la pratique de l’enseignement du vocabulaire de deux professeurs chinois de français dans leurs cours de français élémentaire dont nous avons enregistré plusieurs séances. Les analyses montrent que l’importance particulière attachée à l’étude structurale des mots contribue à la forte compétence lexicale en compréhension orale et écrite des étudiants chinois de français et que la dominance de la méthode de traduction et la négligence des collocations ou des unités lexicales préfabriquées sont deux causes principales des difficultés que les étudiants chinois de français ont à mobiliser leurs ressources lexicales pour s’exprimer de manière appropriée. Pour renforcer la compétence lexicale en production des étudiants chinois de français, nous proposons donc, dans l’enseignement du vocabulaire au cours de français élémentaire, d’adopter une notion large de vocabulaire et de sensibiliser nos étudiants à la notion de collocation et aux unités lexicales préfabriquées. / Vocabulary, which is an essential component of a language, holds an important place in the higher education of French major in China. Within the framework of the lexicology, foreign language vocabulary learning / acquisition and foreign language vocabulary didactics, this research is particularly interested in vocabulary teaching in fundamental French course in higher education in China.Firstly, we summarize the scientific researches in the field of foreign language vocabulary teaching and learning, especially on combinatorial aspect of words. Secondly, by analysing French vocabulary teaching practice of two Chinese professors in their fundamental French course, we find that teacher’s emphasis on the structural study of words develops lexical competence in comprehension of the Chinese students of French major. Meanwhile, we also realize that the dominance of translation method, and the negligence of collocations and lexical prefabricated items, result in difficulties of the Chinese students in mobilizing their lexical resources to express freely and precisely. As a solution, to strengten lexical competence in production of the Chinese students, we suggest a wide notion of vocabulary should be applied in vocabulary teaching, and sensitivity to the notion of collocation and lexical prefabricated items should be improved. / 词汇是语言的主要组成成分之一。在中国高等学校法语本科专业法语教学中, 词汇历来占据重要地位。本论文在词汇学 、二语词汇习得以及外语词汇教学的理论框架下, 研究中国大学法语本科专业基础阶段基础法语课上词汇教学的现状和问题。论文首先综述了二语词汇习得和词汇教学理论研究现状以及成果, 着重强调词项搭配方面的分析 ; 然后, 论文对收集到的两名大学基础法语课教师的课堂教学实践数据进行分析, 阐明中国大学法语专业基础法语课词汇教学拥有的经验和存在的问题, 分析指出教师注重词汇结构性学习, 有利于丰富学生的词汇量, 提高学生的阅读能力, 但过于注重翻译法, 忽视词项搭配和预制语块, 很可能会导致学生法语产出词汇能力相对薄弱, 用法语表达时的正确性和流利性都有待改善。 因此, 论文最后建议在基础法语课的词汇教学中, 教师应采取一种广义的词汇概念, 加强学生词汇搭配和预制语块的意识, 从而提高法语表达能力。
