本研究は、学習者の習熟度、認知スタイル、言語適性を考慮し、語彙学習方略が語彙知識に 及ぼす影響を調査することを目的とする。84名の日本人学習者を対象に、語彙学習方略に関 する質問紙調査、言語適性テスト、集団埋没図形テスト、語彙知識テストを実施した。その 結果、学習者の習熟度、認知スタイル、言語適性によって用いる語彙学習方略が異なること が明らかになった。習熟度が高い学習者は間接的ストラテジーをより頻繁に使用し、習熟度 が低い学習者は直接的ストラテジーを多用していた。また、場依存型の認知スタイルは間接 的ストラテジーを介して語彙知識に影響を及ぼした。さらに、習熟度が低い学習者の場合は 、言語適性が直接的ストラテジーの使用に正の影響を与え、間接的に語彙知識に影響を及ぼ すことが示された。本研究の結果は、語彙学習方略と語彙知識が学習者の習熟度、認知スタ イル、言語適性によって大きく左右されることを示唆しており、語彙学習方略の形成と習熟 度との関係において個人差を考慮する重要性を強調している。効果的な語彙学習を促進する ためには、教師が学習者の習熟度、認知スタイル、言語適性を考慮した多様なストラテジー を教えることが極めて重要である。
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of vocabulary learning strategies on vocabulary knowledge, considering learners' proficiency levels, cognitive style, and language aptitude. A total of 84 Japanese learners completed a questionnaire on vocabulary learning strategies, a language aptitude test, a modified group embedded figures test, and a vocabulary knowledge test. The findings indicate that variations in vocabulary acquisition techniques are impacted by learners' proficiency levels, cognitive style, and language aptitudes. High-proficiency learners used indirect strategies more frequently, while low-proficiency learners' vocabulary knowledge was more strongly associated with direct strategies. Cognitive style had a negative effect on the use of indirect strategies, and field-dependence indirectly influenced vocabulary knowledge through indirect strategies in high-proficiency learners. Language aptitude had a positive effect on the use of direct strategies, which indirectly impacted vocabulary knowledge in low-proficiency learners. The study suggests that vocabulary learning strategies and knowledge are significantly influenced by learners' proficiency, cognitive style, and language aptitude. These findings highlight the importance of considering individual differences in shaping vocabulary learning strategies and their relationship to proficiency. To ensure effective vocabulary learning, it is crucial for educators to teach a variety of strategies accounting for learners' proficiency, cognitive style, and language aptitude.
