Abstract
Vocabulary is an essential component that one should be mastered in language learning. A robust vocabulary matters because it improves all areas of communication-listening, speaking, reading and writing. The students’ vocabulary will be their tool towards achieving the concept of what they are trying to read or listen. It is a pre-requisite for grammar and language proficiency. In this study, the researcher employed the interactive learning strategies (ILS) such as the word wizard, word connect, syntonyms word game and day’s word in teaching English subject among sixty (60) Grade 7 students who are divided into two experimental groups to find out whether these strategies will help the students improve their vocabulary knowledge in terms of word meaning, word use and context clues. Based on the results of the study, the findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores of experimental group 1 which indicates that the use of interactive learning strategies-word wizard and word connect helped students to improve their vocabulary knowledge. Likewise, similar findings for experimental group 2 was obtained due to a significant difference between their pretest and posttest mean scores which signifies that the use of interactive learning strategies-syntonyms word game and day’s word, improved their vocabulary knowledge. Thus, the null hypotheses are rejected.
