Abstract

In this study, we examined the educational effectiveness of on-line learning materials for language learning by comparing them to materials on paper. We conducted an experiment in which the participants, Japanese college students, studied English words by using on-line materials and paper materials and took subsequent recognition tests of the words. The study conditions and testing conditions were counterbalanced to reduce intra-material effects, and the tests were carried out twice, at one-week and three-week intervals. The participants also took a test of words that they did not study. There was a significant difference between the mean of the on-line materials and the mean of the non-study materials at the three-week interval. The results verified that learners retain the information in their implicit memories for three weeks when learning English words with on-line materials. This fact suggests that on-line learning materials are educationally more effective than paper materials.
