【 摘 要 】

Earlier examination proposes that etymological intricacy might blockmath word issue tackling by English learners, however results have beenconflicting. The current review utilized an exploratory plan to examine theimpacts of etymological intricacy and math trouble on word critical thinking bycenter school English learners. Results were reliable with expectations fromcognitive load theory: Performance was more unfortunate for word issueswritten in more intricate language contrasted with similar issues in simplertext, what's more, the most vulnerable exhibition was noticed for issuesthat were both semantically and numerically testing. A Confirmatory FactorAnalysis recommended a model including a inert component, conjecturedto be working memory, gave a solid match to the information. Moreover,phonetic intricacy impacted understudies' view of the numerical trouble ofthe issues. The outcomes are steady with late ideas that English learners'lower execution in math mirrors the extra mental requests related with textunderstanding. Earlier exploration recommends that phonetic intricacy mightobstruct arithmetic word issue addressing by English learners, howeverresults have been conflicting.
