Literature Review Depth of Processing Theory (Craik & Lockhart, 1972) — intensity vs. duration
Noticing Hypothesis (Schmidt, 1990) — exposure
Involvement Load Hypothesis (Laufer & Hulstijn, 2001) — motivation and judgment

What are students doing with non-lexicalized L2 words? They skip them (Blum & Levensten,
1979; Sjöholm, 1998 )
So, our question becomes, what would they do, if they had to decode them?
![Page 7: Teaching Considerations for Non-Lexicalized L2 Words Seula Han (shan@bsu.edu) Phuong Tran (pmtran@bsu.edu) Shane Lanning (smlanning@bsu.edu) Thomas McAlister.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e225503460f94b0fc3e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Methodology Graduate-level students with various L1
backgrounds (n=4) 1 Arabic, 1 Chinese, 2 Vietnamese
Repeated reading vs. Guided reading Non-lexicalized vs. Lexicalized words
Pseudo-words were used for both categories
Think-aloud task for both sessions Assessment

Sample Items: Non-lexicalized Session 1 (Repeated reading)
The show that we watched was full of gorks. It was about life in America long ago, but you could see some people wearing wristwatches. People used to carry watches in a pocket on a chain. No one used to wear wristwatches. Also, one person was wearing modern day shoes. It was very strange to see! (anachronism)
Session 2 (Guided reading) We are having traffic problems due to the snopy last night.
Cars are moving slowly on slippery roads. Pedestrians need to watch their steps as the sidewalks are both watery and icy. Things become more unbearable in the freezing weather. What a winter day it is! (sleet)
Question: What is the weather like?

Non-lexical Strategies Coding Repetition: Participant repeats any part of the
part of the passage; i.e. word, sentence, etc.
Word-form: Participant attempts to compare sound or form to another word (e.g. hormones could be related to harmony because they look similar)
Syntactic: Participant tries to find meaning by looking at the words syntactic function (e.g. makes is a verb in this sentence)
![Page 12: Teaching Considerations for Non-Lexicalized L2 Words Seula Han (shan@bsu.edu) Phuong Tran (pmtran@bsu.edu) Shane Lanning (smlanning@bsu.edu) Thomas McAlister.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e225503460f94b0fc3e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Non-lexical Strategies Coding Cont. Contextual: Participant tries to figure out the word by
figuring out the meaning of the phrasal-, clausal-, or discourse-level context (e.g. it says that he likes to get his exercise, so the word might mean healthy)
Verifying: Participant checks the inferred meaning against the wider context (e.g. Michael avoids going to parties. Michael ‘hates’ going to parties)
Self-inquiry: Participant asks himself or herself a question
Monitoring: Participant evaluates the ease of the word

Teaching Implication I No different effects between reading tasks on
short-term retention Two tasks: Repeated Reading vs. Guided Reading. Mean of score for non-lexical words in assessment
testsAssessment 1: 3.75 out of 5Assessment 2: 3.5 out of 5
No conclusion on which task (i) requires a deeper level of processing (Craik & Lockhart,1972) on short-term retention.

Teaching Implication II More strategies used in Repeated Reading than in
Guided Reading
Repeated Reading: More time More Strategies
Guided Reading: Guided questions made participants self-perceive to have understood the passages and the unknown words less strategies needed to infer word meaning
If you are trying to get students to employ strategies, use the repeated reading
![Page 18: Teaching Considerations for Non-Lexicalized L2 Words Seula Han (shan@bsu.edu) Phuong Tran (pmtran@bsu.edu) Shane Lanning (smlanning@bsu.edu) Thomas McAlister.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070407/56649e225503460f94b0fc3e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Teaching Implication III Guided reading might help with inference accu-
racy
3 participants had higher inference accuracy in gui-ded reading than in repeated reading.
Guided questions helped grasp the overall context, create contextual cues, and converge inference po-ssibilities more accurate guesses.
If you want to practice inferencing, use the repeated reading
