2.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will find out the best memorizing methods for subjects, and whether there is a correlation between effective memorization and memorizing preferences. 2.2 The experiment 2.2.1 Introduction to the experiment The experiment was designed to find out the best memorizing method for second language learners, and whether there is correlation between effective memorization and personal memorizing preference through productive and receptive tests. We determined the best memorizing method by the test score and comparing the immediate post-test with the delay test. Also we examined the correlation between effective memorization and memorizing preference by comparing with their test score. 2.2.2 Method 1) Subjects 30 third or fourth grade subjects in Notre Dame Seishin University participated in this experiment. They had studied English for more than eight years, and their major is English linguistics or literature. 2) Test design
