Özet:
This study investigated the
effectiveness of the use of a concordance software and concordance lines as a
pedagogical tool to learn the target vocabulary of a text book. The purpose of
the study was to compare the effects of corpus-aided vocabulary instruction
with traditional vocabulary teaching methods. This study also examined the
extent to which students used the target vocabulary in paragraph writing
exercises. Students’ perception as to the use of concordance lines in their
vocabulary learning was explored as well.
Eighty-two students from four
intermediate level EFL classes at Karadeniz Technical University School of
Foreign Languages participated in the study. The quantitative data were
collected through the administration of three tests, three writing assignments
and a student questionnaire.
The statistical analysis of the test
results revealed that using concordance lines in vocabulary instruction was
more effective and yielded higher scores when compared to traditional
vocabulary instruction with the text book. Additionally, it was found that
using concordance lines in learning the target vocabulary produced similar
results when compared to using a text book in less controlled paragraph writing
exercises. The analysis of the student questionnaire showed that the students had
positive perception about using concordance lines in learning English
vocabulary.
Key words: Corpus-aided language pedagogy,
corpus-based approach, concordance lines, concordance software, vocabulary
instruction, English vocabulary learning.
