“…L2 experiences are the motives associated with the surrounding learning environment. As Dörnyei (2009) indicates, findings of many empirical studies support that ideal L2 self is a powerful motivator, influencing students’ intended effort or outcomes (e.g., Csizér & Kormos, 2009; Kim, 2020; Marzban et al, 2021; Taguchi et al, 2009; Takahashi & Im, 2020, etc.). Al-Hoorie’s (2018) meta-analysis study, that looked at 32 research articles, also reports that the ideal L2 self has a much greater impact on intended effort, followed by ought-to L2 self.…”

The present study is aimed at examining the links between L2 self-guides and self-determination theory (SDT). 429 Korean university students participated in the study and their responses to the questionnaires on L2 self-guides in the 2 × 2 model and autonomous motivation of SDT were analyzed. The results show that, first, promotion focused L2 self-guides were found to share some characteristics with autonomous motivation, that is, intrinsic motivation and identified motivation. Second, these two types of motivation appeared to have stronger predictor values for motivated learning behavior than L2 self-guides with a promotion focus. Lastly, these L2 self-guides’ relationship with motivated behavior was found to be completely mediated by autonomous motivation. This indicates that when considering the relationship between students’ L2 self-guides and their motivated effort, autonomous motivation should be taken into account.

“…When tracking the history of teaching vocabulary, a number of techniques and strategies have been exploited to help students comprehend and recall new words. Many methodology scholars tried to come up with the best instructional procedures that lead to more effective vocabulary learning and achievement in a second or foreign language (Marzban and Firoozjahantigh, 2018). One of these various methods is mnemonics.…”

Vocabulary learning plays an essential role in foreign language learning. It is also central to language teaching and is of paramount importance to a language learner. Mnemonic is a technique that is used to instruct vocabulary and it helps learners remember better. The association of images and sounds with mnemonics can make it more powerful and effective to help language learners remember better and for a longer time, this can be achieved through applying a method called the keyword method. This study was designed to investigate university Saudi students’ attitudes towards the mnemonic keyword method. By employing a survey research design to discover the attitudes of the students enrolled in the preparatory year program at Taibah University. A questionnaire about ‘Students’ Attitudes towards Keyword Method (SAKM) having four Likert scales was used as an instrument for data collection from a sample of 40 students. Descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation.) and independent-sample t-test were exploited to analyze the data. The results of the study showed that Saudi students have positive attitudes towards the mnemonic keyword method that was used to instruct vocabulary.

“…Vocabulary acquisition is of high importance when it comes to language learning, without sufficient vocabulary bank, proper communication cannot be conducted fluently (Marzban & Firoozjahantigh, 2018; see also Sumarni, 2016). Richards and Renandya (2002) argue that vocabulary is an "indispensable aspect" of any extended communication and is considered even to be a vital element of language learning than structure.…”

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial factor in language learning and it can be problematic for bilingual young learners of the preoperational stage. Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit missionary to China, was able to teach Chinese by using and developing an ancient mnemonic method called the memory palace technique, which then became a widely recognized language learning technique. The current researchers sought to discover whether or not the principles of Matteo Ricci's memory palace technique were still relevant to today's language learning context and applicable in designing English vocabulary learning media. The present research focused on the detailed aspects of the technique and to the guiding principles of educational media to learn English vocabulary items. The current research produced a prototype for a set of vocabulary learning media that could later be implemented, tested, evaluated and developed by other instructors and future researchers interested in the subject.
