| Research Abstract |
This research project found that (1) explicit explanation based on cognitive linguistic insights into grammar and vocabulary (i.e., polysemous verbs and prepositions, and the English article system) may not lead to statistically significant effects on learning ; (2) the learner's first language (e.g., Japanese) may adversely affect the learning of grammar and vocabulary senses that the native speakers of English possess ; and (3) learning semantically similar words individually may not lead to a comprehensive understanding of their usage.
