Matthayom 6 Secondary Students | | Abstract: | The aims of this study were to 1) study vocabulary learning strategies commonly used by Matthayom 6 secondary students studying English of Matthayom Wat Benchamabophit School and 2) to investigate vocabulary learning strategies that assist Matthayom 6 secondary students studying English of Matthayom Wat Benchamabophit School to enhance their vocabulary acquisition
The subjects of this study were 75 Matthayom 6 secondary students studying English of Matthayom Wat Benchamabophit School. A questionnaire based on Schmitt’s (1997) taxonomy was used as the research instrument of this study; it consisted of the respondents’personal information, the use of vocabulary learning strategies and comments on use of vocabulary learning strategies. The statistical procedure used to analyze the data in this study was frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
The findings of the study revealed that the majority of respondents were male. The class of respondents ranged from Matthayom 6. Most respondents have studied English for more than 12 years. The respondents were at the fair level of vocabulary knowledge. Almost half of the respondents got English’s grade of semester 1/2016 respondents got a grade 3.5
The use of vocabulary learning strategies was divided into five strategies: determination strategies, social strategies, memory strategies, cognitive strategies, and metacognitive strategies. Regarding determination strategies, a monolingual dictionary was most often used by most respondents. In terms of social strategies, asking classmates for a word meaning or definition was most often used. Connecting the word with the background knowledge was most often used as memory strategy. Most respondents often used taking note in class in terms of cognitive strategies. Concerning metacognitive strategies, the results showed that listening to English songs was most often used. Most respondents expressed their opinions that speaking with foreign friends or foreigners were the other vocabulary learning strategies, apart from the five vocabulary learning strategies, used to acquire English vocabulary. | | Curricular : | BALA/MTEIL | | Record link: | http://libsearch.siu.ac.th/siu/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=26632 |
