Abstract

This study aimed at investigating the effect of Memrise application on Iranian EFL learners’ collocation learning and retention. To this end, a quasi-experimental design was used. 75 Iranian intermediate EFL learners studying English at a private language institute, namely Farahan, Iran were selected to participate in the study based on convenience sampling in the form of two intact classes. The scores obtained were entered into SPSS software for the purpose of data analysis. The results of data analysis showed that Memrise application had a statistically differential effect on collocation learning of Iranian EFL learners. Moreover, it was demonstrated that Memrise application had a statistically differential effect on collocation retention of Iranian EFL learners. In addition, it was proved that there was a significant difference between the immediate post-test scores Iranian EFL learners who received Memrise application and those who received traditional teaching. Finally, it was indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the delayed post-test scores of Iranian EFL learners who received Memrise application and those who received traditional teaching.

Abstract

This paper aimed at examining and comparing the effects of different humor-based strategies (joke, pun, and limerick) on vocabulary learning of EFL learners at intermediate and advanced levels. To this end, 120 EFL learners in a private institute were asked to serve as the participants of the study. They were then divided into two groups according to their proficiency levels (i.e. advanced and intermediate). Each group contained four subgroups: three experimental groups (joke, pun, and limerick groups) and one control group. Before the treatment, the participants took part a pretest, which aimed to ascertain the homogeneity of the participants. The treatment for the three experimental groups then commenced, and it was followed by a vocabulary posttest. The data were gathered and analyzed via one-way between-groups ANOVA. The results revealed that for the intermediate learners, joke was more effective (although not significantly) than pun, which was (not significantly) more effective than limerick. The difference between joke and limerick, however, was statistically significant. For the advanced learners, the joke group outperformed both pun and limerick groups significantly. However, the difference between pun and limerick groups did not reach statistical significance. There was thus not a considerable difference between intermediate and advanced learners in terms of how they were affected by the treatments.
