SUMMARY:CALPER Webinar: “Learning and Memorizing Vocabulary: Mental Lexicon Deve
lopment in L2 Learners\"
DESCRIPTION:\nJiang Liu\, University of South Carolina\n\nThis is the th
ird \;session of 2024 CALPER Professional Development Webinar Series
: Advances in World Language Pedagogy.\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis \;webina
r \;will \;provide \;an overview of \;research in lexeme
learning that includes phonological\, semantic\, and orthographic forms
of a word and its implications on L2 vocabulary learning. When learning
L2 vocabulary\, learners often come across words that share similar or
same pronunciation with distinct orthography or same orthography with di
fferent pronunciation. By studying learners&rsquo\; mental representatio
n of newly learned \;words \;their connections to previously lea
rned words\, we show that learners are sensitive to phonological similar
ity among words\, and it can \;facilitate \;their vocabulary lea
rning. We targeted on L1 English-L2 Chinese learners&rsquo\; acquisition
of spoken and written forms of vocabulary. We will \;demonstrate&nb
sp\;concrete examples of activity types for teaching vocabulary such as
making tweaks to direct students&rsquo\; attention to orthography-pronun
ciation association or meaning-pronunciation association. \;\n\nBio:
\n\nJiang Liu \;is an Associate \;Professor of \;Chinese&nbs
p\;and linguistics at the \;University of South Carolina \;in&nb
sp\;Columbia\, \;South Carolina. \;He \;holds a doctorate in
linguistics from the \;University of Kansas. His \;research foc
uses on \;mental lexicon development \;with the goal of addressi
ng the gap between \;psycholinguistic \;research findings in&nbs
p\;mental lexicon \;and teaching practice. Contact him \;at

learners often come across words that share similar or same pronunciati

that learners are sensitive to phonological similarity among words, and
it can facilitate their vocabulary learning. We targeted on L
