This study was designed to find out and to identify the effects of two learning contexts, foreign word-native word Paired context and sentence context and two testing contexts, word context and sentence context, in recall and recognition. on foreign word learning by incidental learning and intentional learning paradigm in accordance with the theory of levels of processing. For one thing, it was to find out whether or not the meaning of the foreign target word was agreeable when only the foreign target word-native word paired context was suggested, or when the foreign target word in the sentence context.
For another, in testing contest, it was to find out the effects of testing context as having memorized the meaning of the foreign target word when only the foreign target word-native paired word context was suggested, or when the foreign target word in the sentence context. Following hypotheses were raised according to the levels of processing model, the degree of encoding elaboration and the Characteristics of recall and recognition, examined and proved to be true. The results are following;
a) In intentional learming paradigm the recall and recognition scores in the condition of learning sentence contexts are higher than those in the condition of learning native-foreign paired word contexts.
b) In incidental learning paradigm. the differences between the effects of the recall and recognition in the condition of learning native-foreign paired word contexts and sentence contexts are not found out.
c) In incidental learning and intentional learning paradigm. the recall and recognition scores in the condition of learning sentence contexts are similiar to those in the condition of learning native-foreign paired word contexts.
d) The recall and recognition scores in the condition of intentional learning paradigm are higher those in the condition of incidental learning paradigm.
