Welcome to the Personalingo's Multi-Contextual Vocabulary Immersion Method Beta Test 👏 - September 2023
Language learning can be an exhilarating journey of discovery, unlocking new cultures, perspectives, and opportunities. However, it can also be a challenging endeavor, especially when it comes to mastering vocabulary. Traditional methods like rote memorization and flashcards may help you learn words, but they often fall short in helping you understand how these words are used in various contexts.
This is where the Multi-Contextual Vocabulary Immersion Method comes in, a revolutionary language learning technique that combines the best of language learning research with the convenience of digital technology.
The Science Behind Multi-Contextual Vocabulary Immersion Method
The Multi-Contextual Vocabulary Immersion Method is rooted in several key findings from language learning research:
Learning in Context: Studies have shown that practicing words in context leads to better learning outcomes than practicing words in isolation (Baleghizadeh & Shahry, 2011).
Multiple Exposure to Vocabulary: Repeated exposure to vocabulary through reading and listening has been widely recognized as an effective way to build the mental lexicon (Schmitt, 2008).
Variety of Contexts: Words studied in varied or informative contexts lead to better learning outcomes than words studied in repetitive or less informative contexts (Bolger et al., 2008; Webb, 2008).
Massed Learning: Repeated exposure to vocabulary on the same day (massed conditions) leads to greater learning gains than exposure spread out over a longer period (Uchihara, T., Webb, S. & Yanagisawa, A. 2019).
The Forgetting Curve: The famous Anki Deck's forgetting curve suggests that learning is most effective when it's based on the learner's forgetting pattern.
