An abstract that briefly describes the research encompassed by the node
Does providing reliable semantic information help second language learners acquire new words? Two experiments investigated whether adult learners of Chinese benefited from explicit instruction of semantic information when learning new characters. We manipulated whether semantic information was a reliable cue to word meaning and whether predictability was taught explicitly. We measured learning outcomes with translation and semantic judgment tasks.
