First Language Words as Extra-Stimulus Prompts in Learning Second Language Vocabulary.
Elliott, Robert T.; Adepoju, Adelanke A.
IRAL, v35 n4 p237-50 Nov 1997
Study investigated effectiveness of two techniques in second-language vocabulary development: spacing of first-language (FL) and second-language (SL) words and reversal of the conventional FL/SL order in paired associate learning. Subjects were 16 English-speaking grade-seven students of French. Results showed superior performance in both spacing and reversal-order presentations, suggesting that more conventional presentations produce interference. (Author/MSE)
