Abstract

Vocabulary teaching is an essential component of teaching Chinese in Thailand. For Thai university students, teachers should pay attention to their long-term vocabulary retention after class and their learning in class. The effect of long-term vocabulary memorization has a significant effect on the students who need to take the new HSK Test. Based on the ethical review of research ethics involving humans by the Kasetsart University Research Ethics Committee, this paper investigates the effect of “overlearning theory” on the long-term memory of Chinese nouns with high semantic transparency and low semantic transparency by Using qualitative, quantitative, and experimental methods, and found that the “over-learning theory” did have a positive effect on Thai college students’ long-term memory of Chinese noun words within 3-9 weeks. Over-learning did improve students’ long-term memory of Chinese noun words to a certain extent, but it should be noted that there is a difference between words with high and low semantic transparency. The effect of “overlearning theory” on the long-term memory of nouns with high semantic transparency is slightly greater than that of words with low semantic transparency.
