Abstract: (241 Views) |
Vocabulary may be considered the most essential part of any language. It has a central role in the process of second/foreign language learning because it can facilitate communication in general and comprehension in particular. Hence, research on vocabulary learning is significant for teachers and students. This study investigated the impact of two different techniques of vocabulary presentation i.e., picture vs. word list on improving Iranian students’ vocabulary learning. There were twenty six preintermediate learners of English in this study. The treatment went for 10 weeks during which each group was instructed through one of the techniques mentioned above. The results, analyzed through Analysis of Covariance, revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The Picture group learners outperformed the Word list group learners. The results suggest that teaching vocabulary through picture technique is more conducive to vocabulary learning. The results will further be applied to curriculum design and materials development.
