Journal Title: Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities - QJSSH - Year 2024, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
This study investigates the efficacy of corpus-based activities in the teaching of English vocabulary. In contrast to traditional methods that depend on textbook exercises and dictionary usage, this research seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of corpus-based activities in vocabulary instruction. Additionally, the study aims to investigate students' attitudes towards corpus-based vocabulary exercises. A total of one hundred graduate-level degree program students from a government institution in Swabi participated in this study. The control group used a dictionary and textbook, whereas the experimental group worked with materials based on concordance. There were two intact groups. Quantitative research instruments were used in this quasi-experimental study. A pre-test, post-test, and online survey were employed as quantitative tools. The test results' statistical analysis showed that employing corpus-based vocabulary exercises excelled using a textbook. Additionally, the results of our study indicated that students felt positively about doing corpus-based vocabulary activities.
