The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of adding morphological information to multimedia gloss on incidental vocabulary learning. Given the significance of morphological awareness in vocabulary learning, the current research focused on the refinement of verbal device by including morphological information in multimedia gloss to facilitate form-meaning connection. The participants were 133 senior high freshmen assigned to four gloss groups: L2 text, L2 text plus picture, L2 text plus morphological information (MI), and L2 text plus morphological information plus picture (MIP). Students from each group read a 542-word passage online and had a reading comprehension test. They took immediate posttests after that and delayed posttests with rearranged items two weeks later. MANOVA analyses indicated significant multivariate effects for time and for group, but not for the interaction between time and group. ANOVAs and Scheffé post-hoc tests were used to do between-group univariate analyses. The results suggested that morphological information in gloss had significant effects on vocabulary learning. L2 text plus MI gloss was as effective as L2 text plus picture gloss in recognition test and more effective than L2 text plus picture gloss in production test. However, simultaneous display of multiple glossing modality might not be more effective on vocabulary learning than that of dual or single glossing modality. Implications for instructors and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
