| 英文摘要 |
Advances in brain research are providing instructors information about the processes of learning and remembering. Recent findings indicate that the way the instructors teach can literally change the working of the brain. It is suggested that teaching with the brain in mind guides learners to engage in learning tasks. As vocabulary learning is essential to language learning, vocabulary size is thereby taken as an indicator of language proficiency. Despite its importance, students often feel frustrated when vocabulary learning indicates laborious rote learning. To help students achieve success in vocabulary learning, the current study proposes classroom vocabulary instruction with brain-compatible strategies. Brain-friendly instruction techniques stem from a biologically driven framework, creating effective instruction to enhance learning. Adapted from Parry and Gregory’s brain-compatible instructional strategies and Perez’s brain-friendly tools and strategies for literacy instruction, the study explores the effects of vocabulary instruction integrated with brain-based learning methods and techniques. The participants were forty-five sixth-graders from two homogenous classes. The students in the experimental group received brain-compatible strategy-based vocabulary instruction and the students in the control group received traditional vocabulary instruction. The study lasted for twenty four weeks. The instruments included the quantitative analyses of vocabulary knowledge pretest, ten immediate posttests, a delayed vocabulary posttest, an English proficiency test and the questionnaire. The results indicated that vocabulary instruction supported with brain-compatible strategies was beneficial to students’ vocabulary knowledge development. Applying various brain-compatible strategies to vocabulary instruction has shown to enhance the quality of vocabulary teaching and English learning.
