Description

This paper is intended as an investigation of young English learners' acquisitions of phonology and meanings of words. Fiest, in order to examine how the factors influence learners, twenty-four participants, aged from 6 to 9, were asked to play a computer matching fame to learn English words. Four already learned words and eight new words were chosen as target words. In pre- and post-tests, participants listened to twelve target words one after another and pointed to each picture. The scores of the listening comorehension test correlated with those of the post-test. Second, the eight new words were divided into two groups, high and low correct-answer words, to investigate the degree of how much they can destinguish the sound and how much they can recall the sound. Thirty-seven children, aged from 7 to 11, listened to the words and judged the degrees of how much they can distinguish and recall the sounds. According to the results of ANOVA, it was found that the degree of high-borrect-answer words that they were able to distinguish and recall were greater than those of low-correct-answer words.
