Using Semantic Mapping Technique in Vocabulary Teaching at Pre-Intermediate Level
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of using Semantic Mapping Technique in comparison to traditional technique in vocabulary learning and to find out whether there is a relationship between students’ beliefs about vocabulary learning strategies (VLSs) and what strategies they prefer to use. 32 students at the pre- intermediate level of English from Selcuk University, at the Department of School of Foreign Languages took part in the study. Quantitative data was collected through a two-part questionnaire. The results revealed that students’ beliefs and their preferences were related. For the experimental study, target vocabulary items were taught with Semantic Mapping technique to experimental group and control group was introduced with traditional technique. To analyze the difference between semantic mapping technique and traditional technique, t-test calculations were used with the results of the pre-test and post-test. According to the results, semantic mapping technique is more effective than the traditional technique in vocabulary learning.

In the citing paper
“According to Dilek and Yuruk (2013), students' low proficiency in vocabulary can be attributed to traditional teaching methods that emphasize rote memorization of word lists rather than learning words in context.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
