hypertext???
The study done introduced the readers to many advantages of using hypertext in teaching and learning vocabulary. Other than promoting a fun atmosphere in the classroom in which a good practice for teachers, it also offers teachers wider options of integrating multimedia in teaching, as in this case referred to vocabulary. However, the results showed that students failed to retain the vocabularies tested in the program. In fact, it also clarified that intentional vocabulary learning is more efficient than incidental learning. Therefore, this result questioned the usefulness and practicality of using hypertext to teach grammar.
In my opinion, it is believed that the vocabulary learning can be more efficient if it is given enough opportunities to practice the words frequently. Hypertext can be very useful in introducing the words and the examples in sentences or text yet sufficient homework can help students to recall the words and be more familiar with those new vocabularies. Moreover, the idea of integrating of incidental and intentional learning also will offer more advantages as learners can benefits the lesson based on their own preferences. Nevertheless, the result might be different if it is conducted with different samples in different setting.
psstt!! psstt!!: even the word hypertext itself needs vocabulary knowledge right?
