ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of vocabulary learning strategies on the loan word acquisition of North Korean refugees. The study employed three strategies such as strategy of connecting associational words, strategy of using new words on sentences, strategy of studying word with a pictorial representation of its meaning, and rote memorization as a control treatment. 11 North Korean refugees studied new loan words using strategies. The immediate test and post test were conducted to evaluate the effect of each strategy. This study found out that (i) the accuracy rate is the highest with a strategy of using new words on sentences in the immediate and post test, but the favorable strategy is a strategy of connecting associational words (ii) there were significant correlations between the accuracy rate with life satisfaction in the immediate tests, but with age in the post tests. Most participants appealed that studying vocabulary with strategies was helpful and that self-directed workbook of loan words was necessary.
