Enhancing Vocabulary Memorization and Retention through LMS and MultiEx Game Platforms among Thai Tertiary Students

Although technology has been integrated into vocabulary instruction, to date, few studies have compared whether learning management system (LMS) vocabulary exercises or vocabulary online games facilitate better vocabulary acquisition. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) vocabulary lessons plus LMS exercises and TOEIC vocabulary lessons plus MultiEx games (online games) foster short-term vocabulary memorization and long-term vocabulary retention, as well as which performed better. Participants were 72 first-year students at a university in southern Thailand. They were divided into two experimental groups, one given LMS exercises and the other MultiEx games. A word list was taken from the TOEIC word list and a pre-test was used to determine how many words students knew. The unknown words were used in the design of the vocabulary lessons. Ten lessons were provided for the students. Immediately after each lesson, a post-test was conducted to measure their vocabulary recognition. Two weeks after the final lesson, a delayed post-test was conducted to determine how many of the new words had been retained. The main finding was that both vocabulary memorization and retention were enhanced through the use of LMS exercises and the use of MultiEx games. The results showed a higher mean score for the MultiEx game group in both the immediate post-tests and the delayed post-test. Although the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant, the findings suggest integrating technology enhances vocabulary learning outcomes.

PEMANFAATAN YOUTUBE CHANNEL COCOMELON SEBAGAI MEDIA PENGENALAN KOSA KATA BAHASA INGGRIS ANAK

The purpose of this study is to explain the use of YouTube channel Cocomelon as a medium for mastery of vocabulary for children aged 4-6 years in Karang Tengah village. This study uses a mixed method, the type of Explanatory Design. The subjects in this study were children aged 4-6 years who live in Karang Tengah Village, Tangerang and their parents who accompany their children to watch YouTube Cocomelon. The sampling technique was nonprobabillity sampling, using purposive sampling type. Collecting data using interview instruments, documentation and non-test instruments. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's model and descriptive statistics. Based on the results of a questionnaire calculation related to the use of the Cocomelon YouTube Channel as a medium for introducing English vocabulary for children aged 4-6 years in Karang Tengah District, Tangerang, they are included in the "Developing according to expectations" category. This can be seen from the results of the research which states that the average value of children's vocabulary recognition, namely 87.7%, is in the very good category.

Test of English vocabulary recognition based on natural language processing and corpus system

English vocabulary recognition has certain applications in both learning and life. The existing English vocabulary recognition model is limited by a variety of factors, which will result in a more complicated recognition process and a low recognition accuracy. In order to improve the effect of English vocabulary recognition, based on natural language processing algorithms and corpus systems, this paper proposes a multi-feature fusion adaptive kernel-related filter tracking algorithm for the problems of kernel-related filtering algorithms. Moreover, based on the KCF algorithm, this paper improves the algorithm from three parts: feature fusion, adaptive change of update rate, and scale detection. In addition, this paper explores whether the vocabulary recognition of different rhythms will affect the reaction time and accuracy of the second language vocabulary recognition when the test subjects are in the experimental conditions with similar characters and different voices. The research results show that the model constructed in this paper performs well in the recognition of English words.

Pengenalan HIV/AIDS melalui Kosakata Bidang HIV/AIDS di SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kota Bandung

The number of people with HIV/AIDS in the world is increasing. The introduction of HIV/AIDS in the early adolescent phase needs to be done with a language approach that is easy to be understood and remembered. One of them is the approach to vocabulary recognition in the field of HIV/AIDS. The purpose of this community service activity was to discover the application of HIV/AIDS introduction through HIV/AIDS vocabularies. The method used was pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design which began with pre-test, the provision of HIV/AIDS vocabulary materials through power points and distribution of HIV/AIDS vocabulary sheets. This experiment was ended by doing post-test. The final results showed an increase in the average score of 26.71% with significancy 0,00&lt;0,05.. Thus, the introduction of HIV/AIDS through HIV/AIDS vocabularies is an effective effort to facilitate the early introduction of HIV/AIDS on to students in their early adolescent to avoid the dangers of HIV/AIDS.<br /><br />

Passive vocabulary size and speed of meaning recognition: are they related?

This paper examines the relationship between fluency and vocabulary size, and also between fluency and word frequency level. Fluency was operationalised as the time learners need to recognize meanings of words sampled from different frequency levels. It was measured by a computerised vocabulary recognition speed test (VORST). The test was given to 488 native and non-native speakers who were divided by vocabulary size into four groups. The four groups were compared on speed of response to the 3000 level and University Word List (UWL) words. Speed was also correlated with vocabulary size. Additionally, response times to different frequency levels were compared for each subject. Results suggest that speed of retrieval is moderately related to vocabulary size and word frequency. Non-native speakers’ increase in speed lags behind increase in vocabulary size. Non-native speakers also respond more slowly to less frequent words. Responses of native speakers, on the other hand, are more homogeneous across subjects and across vocabulary frequencies. Speed of retrieval cannot be fully predicted from vocabulary knowledge and therefore speed tests should supplement tests of vocabulary size and depth.
