Vocabulary teaching v7

issues:

1. 應該減少圖片，比如剩下兩張
2. E1, E2 的教學方式 instruction 要更清楚去區分 （考量到實際執行時需要的人數和時間，借班級的方便性等等，乾脆刪掉E2。只保留C和E1來比較就好。很單純的就是比較有沒有圖片的輔助聯想記憶的教學效果）
3. 你的hypothesis claim不夠明確！ （刪掉E2以後，就沒必要以Gestalt theory為主要討論核心了。單純就只是利用圖片來記憶因果關係，還有其他未知的輔助效果，可以在這邊查明）
4. 這次要真的教材了！
5. L2 learners shall learn how to connect forms and meanings
6. 排除沒有因果關係的連環圖。
7. 對於有沒有對話框，都無所謂。只要因果關係明確即可。（有字的還是優先！這樣我舊不用設想單字或作引導。）
8. 考量時間限制的關係，把圖片數目限定為2~3張（用來確保能保持一定數量的新單字，同時這也符合我的訴求，人的注意力資源有限制，不能給予太多圖片。因為到最後還是只能關注少數幾張）
