The Phonological Loop as an important second language learning device Takashi Furuhata (Please turn your speakers on when you view this file)
Introduction • There are highcorrelationsbetweentheperformance ofchildren’s phonological working memory and the performance of native and second language learning.
PLAN • 1.What is phonological loop? • 2. Literature Review Chart • 3. Summary Discussion • 4. Weakness • 5. Research Question • 6. Method • 7. Results • 8. Discussion • 9. Limitations and theoretical issues. • 10. Future Possibilities and Conclusion
1.What is phonological loop? • 3- Phonological Loop • Baddeley & Hitch (1974) found • Working memory • It holds recent information that fades within 2 seconds • Phonological Loop • By repeating the information, the working memory can store it and send to the long- term memory.
3. Summary Discussion • Many studies suggest a significantly high relationship between phonological working memory ability and foreign language learning.
4. Weakness • Can this relationship apply to for people all over the world? • Most of these studies have focused on languages with alphabets.(e.g. Finnish(native) and English(foreign), Greek(native) and English(foreign) ) • Chinese, Japanese, and Korean do not have alphabets, are very different from Finnish, English, and Greek which have alphabets.
5. Research Question • What about….. • children’s phonological ability and a non-alphabetical language learning in a second language for children with an alphabetical first language. • This study examined whether or not a significant correlation between the performance score of the (1) A delayed native language pseudo-word copying task testsand the (2) Japanese foreign language vocabulary learning test.
6. Method • Subjects • 20 elementary school students (3rd grade) • Instruments • 1) A delayed native language pseudo-word copying task, • 2) Japanese vocabulary learning session • 3) The Japanese foreign language vocabulary learning test.
Three tasks (30 min) • 1. English Phonological Ability Test (10 min) • 2. The Japanese Learning Application (10 min) • 3. The Japanese Learning Test (20 min) • Please raise your hand at anytime if you have any questions during the test.
