Systematic use of memory techniques holds an important place
in foreign language vocabulary learning/teaching. Mnemonics are the
efficient products of this strategy. One of the key aspects of producing
these memory aids involves the analysis of the patterns. This study aims
to analyze patterns in the mnemonics sample presented by the researchers
that conduct the study aiming to facilitate the Japanese vocabulary
learning of Turkish students. Most of the 68 target words were selected
randomly from a Japanese-Turkish dictionary. Fifty-four Turkish students
taking Japanese as an elective were asked to mark plus or minus
regarding the potantial recall effect of each mnemonic. Following the
analysis of the results, a focus group was constituted of 10 participants,
both those with partially negative opinions and those with predominantly
positive opinions. In order to provide depth, they were asked to elaborate and explain their opinions. To explain the nature of mnemonics, the
contemporary metaphor theory and relevant literature on creative uses of
language were also referred to. The researchers’ assumption is that
majority of the mnemonics samples can facilitate the Turkish students’
recall of the Japanese vocabulary through creative and pragmatic
connections created out of acooustic similarity and semantic relations.
Imaginative word plays contribute to the depth of processing the target
language and humor motivates the learner. Use of English alongside the
first language in the mnemonics has implications for the potential benefit
of the most popular foreign language for the learning of other foreign
languages.
