- Abstract
Many college English learners found it difficult to retain English words. This study aimed to examine if multimedia vocabulary learning soft wares could help college English learners review newly learned words in a more efficient way in comparison with reviewing words in traditional mode with word list printed on paper and to examine learners’ preferences and perceptions toward multimedia software. One control group and one experimental group were formed by 109 non-English major sophomores. The two groups were reviewing target words in different modes, one with multimedia software and the other with word list printed on paper. A test was taken by the participants to compare the performance of two groups and the results were analyzed with SPSS 25 software and learners’ perceptions toward multi-media vocabulary learning software were collected through a questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using Excel software, and themes that emerged from the qualitative data were identified. The quantitative findings revealed reviewing words with multimedia vocabulary learning software was more effective than reviewing with printed word list. The questionnaire data showed that learners expressed their preference of reviewing words with multimedia software and would like to continue their use in the future. The findings provide insights for college English professors in helping learners improve word reviewing efficacy with multimedia software.
