The Application of CLAN on Shared and Unique Words Between Leveled Storybooks
The Application of CLAN on Shared and Unique Words Between Leveled Storybooks
摘要
The present study aimed to investigate the application of the CLAN （Computerized Language Analysis） program in the CHILDES （Child Language Data Exchange System） on shared and unique words between storybooks. Sixty sixth-grade Chinese-speaking children at an elementary school in Taipei City were recruited. Forty-four three-level of storybooks from Kizclub were collected and analyzed. Fifteen minutes reading instruction was followed by the use of CLAN on storybooks for 25 minutes. Children were given written and spoken vocabulary tests after each cluster of storybook reading period. There were three main findings of the study. First, young EFL （English as a Foreign Language） learners＇ word learning was enhanced through multiple exposures to the shared and unique words from the storybooks. Second, word instruction in isolation prompted written and spoken word learning beyond word instruction in context and repeated reading. Third, the results had pedagogical implications on the value and feasibility of language teaching with storybooks in promoting EFL students＇ word learning by using CLAN, and the limitations of the study were provided.
