چکیده | ||
Vocabulary learning is and indeed has always been one of the major concerns in foreign language teaching and learning. Among different aspects related to vocabulary learning and teaching, the sense relations play an important role. These relations can be found in two dimensions as the horizontal axis represents syntagmatic relations-like collocations, fixed expressions and idioms, while the vertical axis represents paradigmatic relations-such as synonyms, antonyms and hyponyms. The present study was an attempt to investigate the effects of horizontal and vertical axes on Iranian EFL learners' vocabulary learning regarding the cognitive domain levels. To this aim, 84 Iranian high school students (second grade) were chosen through a PET as the homogeneity test. These participants were also pretested through a researchers-made vocabulary test and were divided into three homogeneous groups to represent the horizontal axis group (HAG), vertical axis group (VAG), and control group. The participants went through the processes of pretesting, treatment, and post-testing. The results of data analysis (MANOVA and Independent T-test) indicated that the horizontal group significantly outperformed the vertical group on the posttest of vocabulary, while both VAG and HAG outperformed the control group. It was also revealed that the components of cognitive domain; i.e. comprehension, application, synthesis, and evaluation, except knowledge, were significantly impacted by the horizontal training method. Therefore, syntagmatic relations or horizontal axis can be considered successful in helping EFL learners improve their vocabulary. The findings are fruitful for EFL teachers and syllabus designers to develop efficient vocabulary teaching procedures. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
یادگیری واژگان همواره یکی از مهمترین دغدغههای آموزش و یادگیری زبان خارجی بوده است. در بین جنبههای مختلف یادگیری و آموزش واژگان، روابط معنایی نقش مهمی ایفا میکنند. این روابط را میتوان در دو بعد یافت، چنانکه محور افقی نمایانگر روابط همنشینی است، مانند کلمات همایند، عبارتها و اصطلاحات و محور عمودی نشانگر روابط جانشینی است، مانند هممعنایی، تضاد و شمول معنایی. پژوهش حاضر نتیجۀ تلاشی است که برای مشخص کردن تأثیر محورهای افقی و عمودی بر یادگیری واژه در میان زبانآموزان ایرانی زبان انگلیسی با در نظر گرفتن سطوح حوزۀ شناختی صورت گرفت. به این منظور، ۸۴ زبانآموز سال دوم دبیرستان از طریق آزمون توانش زبانی (PET) انتخاب شدند و با پیشآزمون واژگان که توسط پژوهشگر تدوین شده بود، به سه گروه همگن به نامهای محور افقی (HAG)، عمودی (VAG) و کنترل تقسیم شدند. سپس، مراحل آموزش و پسآزمون یکی پس از دیگری به اجرا درآمد. نتیجۀ تحلیل آماری (تحلیل واریانس چند طرفه و آزمون تی مستقل) نشان داد که گروه افقی بهطور چشمگیری، در مرحلۀ پسآزمون واژگان از گروه عمودی و هر دو گروه از گروه کنترل پیشی گرفتند. همچنین مشخص شد سطوح مختلف شناختی ازقبیل، سطوح درک، کاربرد، تحلیل و ارزیابی بهطور قابل توجهی از شیوۀ آموزش افقی تأثیر میپذیرند، بنابراین، محور همنشینی یا افقی را میتوان در کمک به بهبود دانش واژگانی زبانآموزان موفق دانست. یافتههای این پژوهش میتواند همچون چراغی فراروی مدرسان زبان انگلیسی بهعنوان زبان خارجی و طراحان برنامههای آموزشی به منظور تدوین روالهای کارآمد برای آموزش واژگان قرارگیرد. | ||
