| Résumé : |
Vocabulary has great importance in mastering a second or a foreign language. It is the core of
the language to speak fluently. The aim of this study is to investigate teachers’ and learners’
attitude the use of crossword puzzles as a teaching strategy to enhance learners’ vocabulary
knowledge of first-year students. At first, we believe that students enhance their vocabulary
knowledge through the use of language games like crossword puzzles. Besides, we think that
vocabulary acquisition is something that can be achieved through practice. The research
contains two parts: the theoretical part and the fieldwork. The first chapter deals with
vocabulary definition, its importance in mastering a language, steps of teaching and learning
vocabulary, and teachers' strategies to teach vocabulary.Then, we discussed the important
aspect of this study which is crossword puzzles; we have talked about the definition, history
and terminology, different types of crossword puzzles, and their educational value. In this
respect, a questionnaire and a test were used to test the validity of the hypothesis. First, the
teachers’ questionnaire aims at collecting data about teachers’ opinion about learners’
vocabulary knowledge and their psychological side, their teaching strategies to teach
vocabulary, and the use of crossword puzzles as a strategy to introduce new vocabulary items
to learners. Second, a test was administered to learners where they were asked to fill the themed
crossword puzzles with the correct words. The results show learners’ attitude toward the use of
crossword puzzles and their ability to acquire new words, especially the unfamiliar words and
crossword puzzles motivated them to make an effort to find the correct words of the puzzles,
which is the best practice to memorize the encountered words. |
