これまでの歌を聴くことによる偶発的な語彙学習に関する研究は,主に参加者のリスニング行動とその行動と語彙知識の関係を自己報告させるものであった(Kuppens, 2010)。歌を聴くことが語彙学習に寄与するということを実証的に調査した研究は一つしかない(Medina, 1993)。その結果から,歌を聴くことで語彙学習が起こると結論づけた。しかしながら,どれほどの学習効果があったかは示されなかった。本研究では,2つの歌を聴くことで語彙の3つの側面(話された語の認識,形式と意味のつながり,コロケーションの認識)において偶発的な学習が起こるかを調査した。1曲を繰り返し聞くこと(1回,3回,5回)と目標となる語彙への接触頻度の学習への寄与も調査された。結果として,以下のことが分かった。(a) 歌を聴くことは語彙学習に寄与する,(b) 繰り返し聞くことは語彙学習に寄与する,そして,(c) 接触頻度も語彙学習効果に肯定的な効果がある。

[Abstract]

Research investigating incidental vocabulary learning through listening to songs has primarily relied on participant’s self-report surveys on listening behaviors and its relationship with their vocabulary knowledge (Kuppens, 2010). Only one experimental study has investigated vocabulary learning gains from listening to songs (Medina, 1993). From the results, the researcher concluded that learning does occur from listening to songs. However, the learning gains were not provided. The present study investigated incidental learning of three vocabulary knowledge dimensions (spoken-form recognition, form-meaning connection, and collocation recognition) through lis- tening to two songs. The effects of repeated listening to a single song (one, three, or five times) and the relationship between frequency of exposure to the targeted vocabulary items and learning gains were also explored. The results indicated that (a) listening to songs contributed to vocabulary learning, (b) repeated listening had a positive effect on vocabulary gains, and (c) frequency of exposure positively affected learning gains.
