    • 對於英文的學習來說，英文字彙是很重要的影響因素。有一種學習英文單字的方法是利用廣泛的閱讀英文文章來學習英文單字，為了要促進在閱讀英文文章的環境中學習英文單字的效率，提供多重選擇式註解來輔助英文單字的學習是一個廣被探討的技巧，因為它可以兼具註解和字彙涵意推敲的優點。除了用多重選擇式註解來輔助英文單字的學習之外，還有許多學者研究單字記憶週期的變化，這些研究利用學習者英文測驗的回饋來更新每一個英文單字的記憶週期藉此輔助單字的學習。
    因此本研究提出了一個利用廣泛閱讀英文文章來學習英文字彙的英文字彙學習系統，此系統成功地利用學習者在做多重選擇式註解的回饋來更新每一個英文單字的記憶週期。實驗證實，此系統可以在有限的時間之內有效地提升學習者的英文單字能力。此外，本研究提出了利用句子中上下文的關係來間接地更新單字記憶週期的方法，此方法可以有效地減低更新單字記憶週期所需的測驗次數並讓需要被複習的單字較常出現在文章之中以提升學習英文單字的效率。

    Vocabulary learning is one of the major impact factors in English learning. One way to approach this learning task is to undertake extensive reading of English articles. For promoting vocabulary learning in an extensive reading environment, providing multiple-choice glosses while reading is a widely studied technique. The reason is that multiple-choice glosses can connect both advantages of vocabulary glosses and meaning inferring. Besides, many scholars investigate using the feedback of the vocabulary test to update the memory cycle of the vocabulary on improving vocabulary learning.
    This thesis proposed an English vocabulary learning system with an extensive reading environment. The system can update memory cycles of vocabularies of a learner through the feedback of multiple-choice glosses successfully and promote the learner’s vocabulary abilities in a limited period. Furthermore, an indirect memory cycle update method is also presented in the thesis to adjust memory cycles according to contextual information, and the indirect memory cycle update method can decrease number of test times and allow the vocabularies that need to be reviewed appearing more precisely.
