 note = {This study explored a possible use of a self-made concordance for vocabulary learning. As a classroom activity, the students constructed their own concordances by reading a short story that included words unknown to them. The students looked up a half of the unknown words in the dictionary, while they excerpted all the sentences or phrases from the story that contained the other half of the unknown words so that they could infer the meaning of them without consulting the dictionary. A week later, the students’ retention of the meaning of unknown words was tested. The test scores were statistically compared between the group of words that the students looked up in the dictionary and the group of words that they inferred based on the lists of sentences and phrases they excerpted. The results of comparison indicated that vocabulary learning using a self-made concordance worked more effectively than using the dictionary, particularly on the students with a higher test score.},
