THE USE OF INTERACTIVE EXERCISES IN TEACHING VOCABULARY FOR ELEMENTARY LEVEL LEARNERS
Maqola haqida umumiy ma'lumotlar
This study investigates the impact of interactive exercises on vocabulary retention among elementary level learners aged 13 to 15. Conducted over a one-month period in a single classroom setting, 42 participants from a primary school engaged in vocabulary instruction augmented with interactive exercises. The interactive exercises included Fly Swatter, Matching, Miming Game, and Pictionary, covering 60 words related to themes such as Furniture, Clothing, Free Activities, and Shopping. Pre-tests were administered at the beginning of the study to gauge baseline vocabulary knowledge, followed by vocabulary instruction supplemented with interactive exercises. Post-tests were then conducted to assess vocabulary retention. Data analysis utilized paired t-tests to compare pre-test and post-test scores. The results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary retention following the implementation of interactive exercises, supporting the hypothesis that such exercises positively impact vocabulary learning among elementary level learners. These findings suggest the potential effectiveness of incorporating interactive exercises into vocabulary instruction for this age group.
