Abstract

The present study attempted to investigate the effect of semantic mapping STRATEGY INSTRUCTION on VOCABULARY LEARNING of Iranian intermediate students. A further concern of this study was to explore the probable interaction between the effect of teaching SEMANTIC MAPPING STRATEGY and gender. Initially, 134 available male and female EFL students participated in this study. The instruments utilized in the study were a Nelson test and a teacher-made vocabulary test, which were employed at pre-test and post-test phases. Having established the homogeneity of the subjects in terms of general language proficiency, the 120 selected students were divided into four groups: 2 experimental (male-female) and 2 control groups (male-female). Then, in order to ascertain the homogeneity of the subjects in terms of vocabulary knowledge prior to the treatment, the vocabulary test was administered to all the groups. During the eight instructional sessions, the experimental groups received semantic mapping STRATEGY INSTRUCTION after reading each passage and then did the exercises. In the control groups, students were not taught how to use SEMANTIC MAPPING STRATEGY and they were exposed only to the conventional vocabulary instruction activities. That is, they read the passages, did the exercises and activities, and new words were introduced through contexts and exercises. At the end of the experiment, the post-test was administered the results of which indicated that there was a significant difference among the means of the experimental and control groups. It was also revealed that there was no interaction between the effect of semantic mapping STRATEGY INSTRUCTION and gender. Hence, it is concluded that semantic mapping STRATEGY INSTRUCTION has a significant impact on VOCABULARY LEARNING of Iranian intermediate EFL students regardless of their gender.
