The present study replicated the experiment of Carpenter and Olson (2012) where the effect of picture and English word translation on recall of foreign words (Swahili) was investigated among bilingual learners whose second language is English. A 2 X 2 experiment was designed where Swahili words were presented involving four conditions: (1) picture with English word, (2) picture with the Swahili word, (3) no picture and only English-Swahili word pairs, and (4) no picture and only Swahili words. The results showed that the main effect of word translation was significant where Swahili words were recalled better when paired with an English translation, F(1, 59)=121.69, p<.001, '=0.83. The effect of pictures was not significant which did not support the picture superiority effect. The present study highlights the extension of the word association model for a foreign language and L2 link.
