摘要

This study examines the effectiveness of incorporating multimedia materials in vocabulary-building exercises during a course taught to 56 students at a university in central Taiwan during the Fall 2019 term. Exercises focused on derived verbs, including the active prefix meN-, the passive prefix di-, the involuntary passive prefix ter-, and transitive suffix -kan. This study was conducted through action research, using a vocabulary learning section naturally embedded in the course, and sought to answer the following three questions: (1) what are the effects of using pictures and videos to teach Indonesian affixation? (2) how should knowledge of Indonesian affixation be assessed? and (3) should Indonesian examples of affixation be introduced with or without Chinese translations? The instruments included four PowerPoint presentations with pictures and videos embedded as illustrations for example sentences, four sets of ten multiple-choice questions for online assessment, and weekly questionnaires with open-ended questions designed to elicit students' immediate feedback on what they had learned and their suggestions on improving teaching activities. This research provided useful insight into how multimedia materials can be used and integrated into teaching activities, with valid assessment, to increase L2 Indonesian vocabulary learning.
