How does the mimicry-memorization method improve vocabulary retention

The mimicry-memorization method improves vocabulary retention by combining listening, pronouncing, imitating, and memorizing words repetitively. This method engages learners in active repetition and imitation, which help fix vocabulary in memory more effectively than passive exposure. The process supports accurate pronunciation, increases student enthusiasm and engagement, and enhances understanding and recall of vocabulary material. Moreover, this approach enables direct skill acquisition, making vocabulary learning easier and more enjoyable.

Studies have shown that this method leads to significant improvement in vocabulary acquisition, with learners showing better mastery, longer retention, and higher motivation. The repetitive nature of mimicry combined with memorization reinforces the vocabulary in long-term memory, contributing to improved recall and use in speaking or writing. It is also noted to be cost-effective and adaptable using tools like flashcards or visual media for additional support.

In summary, mimicry-memorization enhances vocabulary retention by activating multiple cognitive processes including auditory and vocal practice, repetition, and memorization, which altogether strengthen memory traces and facilitate sustained learning. ^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
