Abstract
The study attempts to examine teaching vocabulary in New Prospects textbook, third year
in Algerian secondary school. Our dissertation aims at finding out whether the vocabulary tasks
that are proposed in the textbook adopts Allen Hunt and David Beglar’s theory of teaching and
learning vocabulary (2002). In fact, this theory is built upon three essential approaches: first,
The Incidental approach, second, The Intentional and third, the Independent Strategy
Development approach. and each approach includes at least one principle, In addition, the study
aims at examining the amount of vocabulary tasks included in each unit and the principle
adopted in each task. For the sake of achieving this aims, we have conducted an analysis of
vocabulary tasks that are proposed in the textbook .To show the data obtained from the
evaluation of vocabulary tasks of the textbook more clearly we have presented it through
diagrams, pie charts and tables. It is clear that there is a variation in the questions of vocabulary
tasks and learners will answer according to the question: by adding prefixes and suffixes,
suggesting verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs, checking meanings of words in dictionaries
…etc. However, the three approaches are not implemented in a balanced way since the majority
of NP vocabulary tasks adopt the intentional approach while few of them adopt the independent
strategy development approach and no task adopts the incidental one.
