The Impacts of Using Classroom Walls as Indirect Learning Materials on Second Language Learners' Learning

Abstract

This quantitative study explored the effect of using classroom walls as indirect material on the learning of L2 learners. 22 Turkish primary school students formed the participant group for the study. Participants were given a pre-test about the target topic, which they had never learned in the course before, and the results were reported. Materials related to target topic were hanged on the classroom wall. These materials were changed every 3 days. During this period, nothing related to this subject was covered in the course. At the end of 30 days, the same test was applied to the students as a post-test again and the results were given. The results of these two tests were compared. Students performed more correct answers on the post-test. It was concluded that using classroom walls as indirect teaching method has a positive effect on students' learning the target subject.
