| Abstract |
This research aims to clarify the process and mechanism of lexical meaning acquisition in foreign language learning using multimedia. Moreover, I am attempting to build a model to develop multimedia l...earning processes. Multimedia as a resource to transfer language information in its most natural form has been widely researched. However, most previous studies have been mainly focused on its effects such as maintaining motivation and cost reduction. Successful acquisition and use of language require memory storage of many words, their associated concepts, and grammatical rules. However, we have yet to ascertain which factors of multimedia promote learning or which factors do not. Before presenting specific meanings of a polysemous verb, it is better to provide an abstract image schema that represents the core meaning of the verb and how it is shared by all the meanings of the verb in question. Following this, a radial semantic network of the various meanings of a polysemous verb is provided. These two visual contents will set the stage for zooming into a specific meaning. On moving to a specific meaning, I provided an animated illustration of the representative example of that meaning. The animated illustrations comprise a set of still hand-drawn pictures, which are connected in such a way that they depict the semantic scenario as it unfolds in time. Audio contents are also added to the animated illustrations. In addition to the abstract image-schema of animated illustrations depicting a specific meaning, I also provided video clips as well.show more
