Beyond Language Barriers: Exploring the Effects of Implicit Message Decoding and Memory Retention

Abstract

This study examined the interplay between implicit message decoding, the time living abroad on language learning, and memory retention. The findings showed a link between the time spent studying abroad and the capacity to decode implicit messages. Additionally, having a narrator narrate educational materials visibly improved memory retention. The ability to decode implicit messages and memory retention were found to be correlated. These findings underscore the importance of interactive instruction and an immersive learning environment for language acquisition.
