Investigating Unknown Words On-line

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Twenty university students participated in a four week study investigating the meanings of unknown words written within a reading passage using an on-line dictionary. Of the four treatment groups （No aid, Gloss, Click , Click & Spell）, participants of the Gloss condition were better able to retain the meanings of unknown words. Results suggest that the more activity learners perform away from a reading passage using an on-line dictionary, the less likely their retention of unknown words.
