Outline of Final Research Achievements

Multimedia as a resource to transfer language information in its most natural form has been widely researched. However, most previous studies have been mainly focused on its effects such as maintaining motivation and cost reduction.Successful acquisition and use of language require memory storage of many words, their associated concepts, and grammatical rules. However, we have yet to ascertain which factors of multimedia promote learning or which factors do not. This research allowed me to identify the factors of multimedia that affect learner acquisition of lexical meaning of vocabulary and establish a model of language learning process using multimedia.
