초록

The purpose of this study is to investigate how different types of retrieval activities affect the deliberate learning of collocations that are more challenging compared to learning single words to EFL learners. Also, the study examined how the learners' L2 proficiency and L1 (in)congruity of the collocations mediate the results of learning. Thirty adult EFL learners were randomly assigned to a receptive, productive, or receptive-productive retrieval group to study 20 verb-noun collocations. The results found no significant difference between the treatment groups, including the interaction with L1 (in)congruity and the learners' L2 proficiency. However, the study found significant learning gains within each of the three retrieval groups. The productive and receptive-productive groups scored higher than the receptive group in all measures, which suggests meaningful implications for teaching collocations, emphasizing the effectiveness of using productive retrieval activities.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how different types of retrieval activities affect the deliberate learning of collocations that are more challenging compared to learning single words to EFL learners.

Thirty adult EFL learners were randomly assigned to a receptive, productive, or receptive-productive retrieval group to study 20 verb-noun collocations. The results found no significant difference between the treatment groups, including the interaction with L1 (in)congruity and the learners' L2 proficiency. However, the study found significant learning gains within each of the three retrieval groups. The productive and receptive-productive groups scored higher than the receptive group in all measures, which suggests meaningful implications for teaching collocations, emphasizing the effectiveness of using productive retrieval activities.
