THE EFFECTS OF CLUSTERING NEW WORDS IN SEMANTIC, THEMATIC OR UNRELATED SETS IN TEACHING VOCABULARY TO EFL LEARNERS

Abstract

Yabancı dil eğitiminde kelime öğretirken kelimelerin anlamsal,
tematik, ya da bağlantısız gruplar halinde öğretilmesi konusu halen
tartışılmakta olan bir konudur. Öğretilecek kelimelerin aynı anda anlamsal
olarak gruplandırılarak öğretilmesinin etkili olacağını öne süren pek çok
çalışma olmasına rağmen bu çalışmalar genelde değişkenlerin kontrol altında
tutulduğu deneysel çalışmalardır. Bu sebeple, sınıf içindeki doğal öğrenci
davranışlarına odaklanan çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma da
kelime öğretiminde kelimelerin anlamsal, tematik, ya da bağlantısız gruplar
halinde gruplanmasının öğrenme üzerindeki etkilerini doğal sınıf ortamında
araştırmaktadır. Çalışmaya katılan 18 öğrenciye gerçek İngilizce kelimeler üç
gruplama yönteminden biri kullanılarak öğretilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları
bütün gruplandırma yöntemlerinin kelime öğretimine katkısı olduğunu ortaya
çıkarmıştır, fakat üç gruplandırma yönteminden herhangi birisinin diğerlerine
göre daha etkili olduğu yönünde herhangi bir sonuca ulaşılamamıştır.
