Abstract


This study investigated the effects of combining the Ci Daren learning platform with multimodal vocabulary teaching on learners’vocabulary acquisition using two groups of non-English undergraduate students.The experimental results showed that:(1)the experimental group had a higher vocabulary acquisition rate with the help of the Ci Daren platform compared with the control group’s traditional way of memorizing Chinese meanings by rote;and(2)the combination of the Ci Daren platform and multimodality has a positive effect on vocabulary acquisition.
