Improving ESL Primary Students’ Vocabulary Proficiency Using Authentic Listening Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of the Computer, the Internet and Management - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 3
Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine the use of authentic listening materials in enhancing English vocabulary in the classroom among ESL primary students and to examine their attitudes toward the use of such materials in the English language classroom. The participants in this study were 35 students who studied in Grade 2 at one of the famous school in Bangkok, Thailand. They were divided into two groups: control and experimental. The teacher in the control group only used textbooks to teach English vocabulary and in the experimental group, the teacher used a combination of textbooks and authentic listening materials which are animated movies, songs, audio taped stories, and cartoons. The findings revealed that both control and experimental groups gained better vocabulary. The difference of the mean scores of pre and posttests in the control group was 2.10 and that experimental group was 2, so there was no significant difference between both groups. It can be concluded that authentic listening materials are not effective in developing vocabulary of Grade 2 students in the study. However, the students in the experimental group had positive views toward the use of authentic listening materials in their vocabulary classes. They enjoyed the classes and looked forward to the next classes.
