“…In addition, a number of studies adapted dual coding theory to examine the effect of multimedia on language learning (e.g. Baldwin, 2013; Cohen & Johnson, 2011; Zhu, Fung, & Wang, 2012). Baldwin (2013) investigated the impact of images on vocabulary learning.…”

Mnemonic is a technique that helps someone remember better. The combination of images with mnemonics can make it more powerful and effective to help language learners remember better and for a longer time. Acquiring L2 vocabulary can be enhanced by using images. In the previous studies, mnemonics were used traditionally, that is, learners were asked to create a mental image to remember a word or any new item. Several studies were conducted to explore the use of mental images as mnemonics for vocabulary learning. However, no study has examined the integration of images as a mnemonic tool for vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the effect of images as mnemonics on vocabulary acquisition. The study examined the effect of images as a mnemonic tool for vocabulary acquisition in three conditions (i.e. normal images, bizarre images and traditional way of learning vocabulary). Sixty Arab learners of English as a foreign language enrolled in the English Department at Hodeidah University participated in this study and were randomly assigned into three groups. This study used an experimental method in which pre-, post-and delayed post-tests were administered to these groups. The results indicated that mnemonics with the help of images are useful tools to help learners remember many words.

“…Participants also stated that the use of images facilitated the ease with which they learned the new words. Zhu et al, (2012) explored the difference between text assisted with images and an ordinary text. It involved 106 students randomly assigned into two groups.…”

“…As a virtual tool, virtual flashcards can enrich the learning experience through a double (visual and audio) channel (Ruwe, McLaughlin, Derby, & Johnson, 2011). Animation and videos also add fun to the learning process and lead to better learning outcomes (Aghlara & Tamjid, 2011; Zhu, Fung, & Wang, 2012). Researchers have claimed that virtual flashcards have a number of advantages over traditional flashcards (Azabdaftari & Mozaheb, 2012), and are a promising alternative method to learn vocabulary (Hung, 2015).…”

Augmented Reality (AR) flashcards have emerged as an important educational resource for language learning. However, there is limited research on its application in early childhood education. This article aims to explore the technology’s value in early childhood education by comparing it with traditional paper flashcards. To that end, a study was conducted in which 98 children, aged between 5 and 6 years, and four teachers, all from a Macau kindergarten, took part. One group of children had animal-related vocabulary using AR flashcards, while another group used traditional flashcards. To measure the effectiveness of the two approaches, the children underwent pre- and posttests on their vocabulary and the teachers were interviewed. For the data analysis, paired-sample t tests and independent-sample t tests were utilized, and the level of effect was measured. The results showed that both AR and traditional flashcards could significantly improve children’s vocabulary learning and that there was no significant difference in effectiveness between the AR and traditional flashcard methods. The teachers indicated that the children enjoyed the AR learning activities, but that there were certain challenges associated with using AR flashcards in a kindergarten setting.

“…In addressing the challenge of foreign language (FL) vocabulary learning, the potential of various CALL approaches has been investigated: training students to use online corpora (Gordania, 2012) or web-based dictionaries (Al-Jarf, 2007;Ranalli, 2013), employing CALL tools to provide students with multimodal annotations (glosses) for vocabulary items (Gorjian, Moosavinia, Kavari, Asgari, & Hydarei, 2011;Poole, 2012), designing mobile applications with pre-created sets of activities (Stockwell, 2007), or using flashcard-based spaced repetition programs (Nakata, 2011;Zhu, Fung, & Wang, 2012), which rely on pair-associate vocabulary learning. The present paper will focus on the latter approach, dealing with pair-associate learning, because it can be efficiently applied to any set of vocabulary items without the need for the instructor to develop specific activities manually.…”

The purpose of the present paper is twofold; first, we present an empirical study evaluating the effectiveness of a novel CALL tool for foreign language vocabulary instruction based on spaced repetition of target vocabulary items. The study demonstrates that by spending an average of three minutes each day on automatically generated vocabulary activities, EFL students increased their long-term vocabulary retention rate three fold. Second, we demonstrate that the double-blind experiment design, which has become standard research practice in such extremely high-stakes fields as pharmacology and healthcare, has the potential of being successfully implemented in CALL research.
