That is why teachers should be aware of the techniques they use to help university students enhance their knowledge of foreign vocabulary items. The aim of the present work is to investigate the improvement of the students’ vocabulary through the implementation of crossword puzzles. We believe that using vocabulary games may be seen as an entertaining technique that helps learners to be acquainted with new words, consolidating lexical items and memorizing them. In this respect, we designed, first, a questionnaire for teachers of oral expression at the Department of English; the aim was to get information about the importance of using crossword puzzles, in oral sessions, as a technique to teach vocabulary. The study also implies a test designed for students; a pre-test where students were given a crossword puzzle to solve, plus a post-test where learners where asked to fill in the gaps with words they have memorized form the pre-test. The results showed the effectiveness of this method in improving the students’ vocabulary knowledge. Learners proved to have learnt some of the unfamiliar words they have seen in the first session; besides, they were highly motivated and interested in solving that crossword. Accordingly, it is highly recommended that crossword puzzles should be used in teaching vocabulary Diplome : Master 2 Permalink : https://bu.umc.edu.dz/master/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=11123 Improving the students vocabulary acquisition through the use of crossword puzzles : A case of First-year english students university of frères mentouri - constantine [texte imprimé] / Fatima Zahra Berkane, Auteur ; Nesrine Hamani, Directeur de thèse . - CONSTANTINE [ALGERIE] : Université Frères Mentouri Constantine, 2018 . - 79 f. ; 30 cm.
