| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation is concerned with the effectiveness of vocabulary learning on learners’ reading comprehension in EFL classes. It aims to demonstrate the impacts of vocabulary learning on reading comprehension skill of the first year secondary school learners. Itis also meant to identify the main problems and factors behinds the learners’ poor reading comprehension when learning English as a foreign language. This research is conducted in the secondary school “Slimani Mohand” in Freha. To achieve the mentioned objectives, the study is based on mixed method approach. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used for the analysis of the data. Thus, two distincts but interdependent questionnaires have been addressed to twenty (20) English language teachers and to thirty (30) of their pupils who were selected randomly, and an interview addressed to only three teachers. The outcomes are analysed according to Rumlhart Schema Theory (1980). To analyse the data, “The Rule of Three” is used for statistical data analyses, while the qualitative content analyses (QCA) has served to interpret the results of the open-ended questions. The conclusion drawn from the finding of this study is that vocabulary learning increases learners’ reading comprehension skill in the classroom. It also confirms that sufficient background knowledge about vocabulary creates a good learning atmosphere. The data collected also reveal that teachers advise learners to guess the meaning from the context to understand the difficult words when first secondary school learners of “Slimani Mohand” are assigned reading activities. | en |
