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.

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.
