STUDENTS’ VOCABULARY ACQUISITION
Writer: Gülçin Coşgun
=============================
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of using a word wall including a wordlist on vocabulary acquisition of Turkish EFL learners. To achieve this goal, the study consisting of 28 participants from classes was conducted.
A pre-test was given before the treatment and a posttest was given after the treatment. The analysis and correlations of the obtained data clearly confirmed that using a wordlist on a word wall can be regarded as a working factor in fostering learners’ vocabulary acquisition. However, although students in the experimental group made a greater gain than the students in the control group, there were still many words that were not learned after the treatment. This reveals that using a wordlist in the classroom as implemented in this study, may not be the ultimate solution to improve the vocabulary acquisition.
