Abstract | This study compared the effectiveness of two treatment conditions, the Text Talk condition
and the Storytelling condition on word learning in three Cantonese-speaking K3 children
with language impairment (LI). A single-subject alternating treatments design with baseline
was employed. Two different sets of words were taught under the two treatment conditions
with individual instruction. Results suggested that the Text Talk condition was relatively
more effective than the Storytelling condition in facilitating word learning in children with
LI. The effects produced by the Text Talk condition were the most robust in the less
demanding Word Picture Matching task while there were smaller but still obvious effects in
the more demanding Meaning Recognition and Context Integration tasks, indicating modest
effects of the treatment in increasing the depth of vocabulary knowledge. The Text Talk
condition produced statistically significant summative gains in two children whereas the
Storytelling condition produced statistically significant summative gains in one child. The
findings provide some support for the adoption of the Text Talk over the Storytelling
condition for children with LI; Storytelling also has the potential of promoting significant
gains for children with a lesser degree of LI.
