| Summary: | This study sets to find out the teachers' teaching strategies in teaching vocabulary in
secondary schools. The foci of the study are to find out the strategies used by
teachers in teaching vocabulary, problems faced by teachers in teaching vocabulary,
strategies perceived as effective in teaching vocabulary and the common strategies
employed in teaching vocabulary. The respondents are 200 English teachers from 19
secondary schools in Kuching, Serian, Bau, Lundu and Kota Samarahan. The data
for the study is obtained through two instruments - questionnaires and group
interviews. The findings reveal that giving examples to explain meaning of a word is
the most favoured strategy in teaching vocabulary. The findings also indicate that
giving examples is perceived as effective in teaching vocabulary. The majority of
the teachers also indicate that words that are overlapping in meaning are difficult to
teach. Findings from the interviews also show similarity to the findings from the
questionnaires where giving example is indicated as the most common teaching
strategy used in teaching vocabulary. |
