Newseater - Adult Edition

Before Tuesday’s election made every in America peachy keen once again, we were toying with the idea of going expat. After eight years of a Bush presidency, we just couldn’t stand the thought of yet another Republican in the White House—and there’s a lot to be said for living abroad. We’ve always wanted to immerse ourselves in a foreign culture, and learn more about foreign ways… especially when it comes to the foreign ways of loving. As the videos below demonstrate, there’s a lot we can learn from our friends from abroad. And actually… well, maybe we’ll still go expat for a bit, anyway. Obama’s not going to be president for another two and a half months anyway, right?

How do adult second language (L2) learners approach the task of vocabulary learning and what mnemonic procedures do they use to help themselves retain the lexical items that they are learning in their L2? These questions were first investigated in an exploratory study with 50 beginning and advanced English as a Second Language (ESL) learners then through four case studies of ESL learners and eight case studies of French as a Second Language learners. The research identified two distinct approaches to vocabulary learning in an L2, a structured and an unstructured approach that differed in five aspects: (a) the extent to which learners engaged in independent study, (b) the range of self-initiated learning activities in which learners engaged, (c) the extent to which learners recorded the lexical items they were learning, (d) the extent to which learners reviewed such records, and (e) the extent to which they practised using vocabulary items outside their L2 course.
