Resumo: The present work is an exploratory study aimed at investigating the use of multimodal tips in the lexical inferencing of English as a foreign language. On theoretical grounds, the work is based on the assumptions of Connectionism Approach and Lexical Inferencing. In the experiment,162 students of English at the elementary level, were divided into two groups: experimental and control group. In the experimental group, Group A received oral and written tips, group B received only oral tips, and group C only written tips to infer the meaning of the target vocabulary. In the control group, group D did not receive any tips. In the analysis, data generated in the vocabulary test and evaluation questionnaire were considered. The results show that the use of both modalities of tips, oral or written, may contribute to inferencing and vocabulary learning. However, the combined use of oral and written tips revealed to be more efficient. Besides, in the comparative condition, the relevance of oral tips, in an explicit approach, for inferencing and vocabulary learning was observed. With this research, we intend to contribute to the students’ development of lexical inferencing and memory retention of the vocabulary in English as a Foreign Language.

Este trabalho fundamenta-se nos pressupostos da Abordagem Conexionista e Inferência Lexical. No âmbito da metodologia, o experimento foi aplicado a 162 participantes em nível elementar de inglês, divididos em grupo experimental e controle. O grupo A recebeu dicas orais e escritas, o grupo B recebeu dicas orais e o grupo C apenas dicas escritas para inferir o significado das palavras testadas. O grupo controle, grupo D, não recebeu dica. Essa distinção foi feita para investigar os impactos das dicas multimodais no processo de inferência lexical. Para a análise, consideram-se os resultados obtidos nos testes de vocabulário e questionário. Os resultados indicam que ambas as modalidades de dicas, oral ou escrita, podem contribuir para inferência e aprendizado de vocabulário. Entretanto, o uso combinado de dicas orais + escritas foram mais eficientes no aprendizado. Além disso, na condição comparativa, observou-se a relevância das dicas orais, em uma abordagem explícita, para o aprendizado. Com esta pesquisa, busca-se contribuir para o desenvolvimento no aluno da estratégia inferência lexical e a retenção na memória do vocabulário em inglês como Língua Estrangeira.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística Aplicada2020-05-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/2645910.26512/rhla.v19i1.26459Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2020); 15-38Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicada; v. 19 n. 1 (2020); 15-382237-09511677-977010.26512/rhla.v19i1reponame:Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicadainstname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBenghttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/article/view/26459/26119Copyright (c) 2020 Revista Horizontes de Linguistica Aplicadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessReis, Patricia Nora de SouzaProcópio, Renata BittencourtReis, Rachel Terrigno Cunha2020-06-03T22:30:24Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/26459Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/horizontesla/oaihorizontesla@gmail.com2237-09511677-9770opendoar:2023-01-13T09:49:26.200412Revista Horizontes de Linguística Aplicada - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
