| dc.description.abstract | The present study is concerned with the correlation between Vocabulary Mastery and Reading Comprehension. It attempts to find whether students’ reading comprehension and vocabulary mastery are correlated. This work has been conducted in the Department of English at MMUTO with third year students. It is based mainly on Janis M. Harmon, Elizabeth Buckelew-Martin and Karen D. Wood (2010) approach entitled the Cognitive Vocabulary Approach to Word Learning. This study uses the mixed method approach which consists of the combination and the integration of both quantitative and qualitative methods. It utilizes the rule of three to analyze the numerical data and content analysis for the interpretation and explanation of the non-numerical data. The findings of the study illustrate that there is a significant relationship between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension. The results reveal that mastery of vocabulary is central to learning of English language because without sufficient vocabulary students cannot comprehend the meaning of what they read. Additionally, students who comprehend texts learn new words that they encounter during their reading by guessing the meaning of unfamiliar words from the context, or from using dictionaries. | en |
