Transcript of Teaching Scripts: Using Mnemonics and Authentic Materials Lucien Brown Centre of Korean Studies...
Mnemonics Mnemonics from Greek word “mnemonikos”
meaning ‘of memory’
Mnemonic strategies involve transferring to-be-learned materials into a form that makes them easier to learn/remember
Experimental research shows strong suppor
t for the effectiveness of mnemonics
Mnemonics in Language Teaching Mnemonics most commonly applied in voca
bulary learning KEYWORD METHOD
EX: KOR: 피곤하다 p’igon-hata
Mnemonics also popular for Western learners memorizing Chinese characters
Despite effectiveness of mnemonics, few teachers apply them
Learner reactions to mnemonics “To get you over that initial period when it is completely
alien, when those characters don’t mean anything at all, I think that’s a great way of getting round that problem.”
“If we had done just that [i.e. not used mnemonics], it would have been too much for me to remember. Compared with when I learned hiragana, it took me three weeks to learn all of the signs … because there was nothing for me to remember these by.”
“When I was reading something on TV, I saw this soun
d ( ㅈ ) and for some reason I was- I first said an s and then no that’s- that’s the church sign that’s the ch and so I just said oh yes”
