Language Skills Boosting Accurate Vocabulary Production: A Japanese University Case Study more

Sat, Nov 13, 14:05-14:30 Asia/Tokyo

This presentation will introduce an action research project designed to improve students’ productive vocabulary accuracy conducted with intermediate-level Japanese university students. We implemented two weeks of receptive and productive vocabulary interventions for one textbook unit. Through carrying out quantitative surveys, semi-structured interviews, and speaking test transcriptions, the results of this project indicated a marked improvement in student productive vocabulary accuracy.
