| dc.description | The current case study has as the objective of investigating how vocabulary is taught and learned in two English classes at the Escuela Naval de Suboficiales A.R.C Barranquilla (ENSB) since students at this institution have not been progressing as expected in their English level. The participants were 42 first-year military students and two English teachers in the second and third modules of studies in the academic year of 2016. Using a mixed method approach, classroom observations, student questionnaires, and a pre- and post-test for each group were used to collect the data for this study. The findings reveal that student progress in regards to their vocabulary word knowledge. Also, it was seen that both teachers and students use some vocabulary teaching-learning strategies; however, the ones used are limited, repeated, and focus mainly on improving students’ vocabulary breadth. Students’ vocabulary depth progress is very limited. Other factors such as an insufficient use of vocabulary for communication in English seem to affect student progress negatively. The findings of this investigation guided the researcher to offer some recommendations, including using a variety of vocabulary strategies that focus on both depth and breadth vocabulary knowledge and developing both receptive and productive vocabulary. Also, students should be directly taught how to use a variety of vocabulary strategies in order to enhance their development. | |
