Learning through tests: does testing improve second language learning?

Öz

Taking the hypothesis “Does testing improve second language learning?” as a starting point, the possibility of learning through tests is analysed in this research. Vocabulary learning is used as the field of research in order to be able to distinguish students’ prior knowledge from the ability to learn the intended material. The experiments in the research have been conducted to two groups in two different classes with similar backgrounds. The experimental group took the test first and on the other day they studied the material. The control group studied the material first and on the other day they took a test on the material. Later, both of the groups took a final retention test and the improvement of the students’ knowledge of the subject is tested. My hypothesis proved wrong in the first analyses. The control group who studied the material first and took the exam later with the classical approach proved their better understanding of the new subject by performing better in the final retention test. However, in later analyses, it is realised that the research needs a revision and a change in the research method. Through these changes it will be proved that dealing with the words that the students have never met before in an examination environment raises their curiosity towards the words. So, the role of this research should be seen as a preparatory work to be able to determine the best research method.
