Title: THE EFFECT OF PROVERBS ON LEARNING VOCABULARY THROUGH
VISUAL ORGANIZERS

Writer: Elham Baharian/ MA TEFL

=============================

The study findings revealed that the proverb plus picture and the proverb group outperformed the control group with a significant difference. Therefore, teaching vocabulary through proverbs has a positive effect in vocabulary mastery and retention compared to the traditional method. The immediate tasks results displayed that the proverb plus picture had the highest gain of words compared to the proverb group but there was not a significant difference between these two methods. So, using proverb plus pictures may not have a significant superiority in the short run compared to the proverb group. However, the delayed tasks revealed that the proverb plus picture had a superiority over the proverb group across time with a significant difference. Hence, employing the visual organizers is effective on vocabulary mastery and  retention across time.
