Abstract

The study aimed to enhance vocabulary proficiency among upper secondary students in English literature at Al Mazhar Girls’ High School, Nintavur. The objectives were to identify effective teaching methods for vocabulary acquisition, evaluate students’ attitudes toward literature-based vocabulary learning, and recommend integrating literature into the curriculum. A mixed methods approach was used, combining quantitative data from pre-tests, mid-tests, and post-tests with qualitative insights from structured questionnaires and observations. Out of 35 GCE(O/L) students who took the pre-test, 20 were selected for the study. Data analysis in MS Excel revealed significant improvements in students' vocabulary skills following the intervention. Strategies such as song-based learning, vocabulary games, and language boards proved highly effective. Pre-test and post-test comparisons showed notable progress, while qualitative data reflected positive student feedback and engagement. The study recommends integrating literature-based instruction and interactive methods, such as songs and games, into the curriculum to enhance vocabulary acquisition. These strategies not only improved learning outcomes but also increased students’ interest and motivation in acquiring new vocabulary.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of teaching aids on English language learning among Grade 6 students at KM/KM/Al-Manar Central College, Maruthamunai, focusing on how these aids enhance their learning process and address challenges in acquiring English language skills. The study objectives were;  to identify students' difficulties with teaching aids, understand the reasons for their struggles, determine areas requiring more time and practice to develop ESL skills, and propose effective solutions to address issues with descriptive teaching aids. The method used to carry out this research was classroom action research. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Primary data was gathered using tests (pre-test and post-test), observations, questionnaires, and interviews, while secondary data was sourced from textbooks, research articles, and reliable websites. Data analysis involved both qualitative approaches (descriptive analysis of observations and interviews) and quantitative methods (statistical analysis of test and questionnaire scores). Various tools, such as tables, graphs, and descriptive forms, were used to present the data. 9 Students were randomly selected as the sample from the total students of 30 students in the class. The data for the research was obtained using observations, interviews, questionnaires, and tests and data was analyzed under quantitative and qualitative methods. The impact of teaching aids on language learning is profound. Research reveals that incorporating multimedia, visual aids, and digital resources into language instruction significantly enhances engagement and comprehension. Teaching aids cater to diverse learning styles, improving vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation, listening, and speaking skills. They foster motivation and active participation, making English language learning enjoyable. However, their effectiveness depends on thoughtful integration and quality design. To maximize language learning outcomes, a balanced approach, merging traditional methods with modern aids, is essential.

After the data collection procedure the researcher analyzed the data according to written test performance. In this process (SST), the Surface Strategy Taxonomy method was used to classify the errors.The findings of this research indicated that there were 130 total errors that students made in Post Test. which were classified into four categories based on the Surface Strategy Taxonomy (SST). Those were the error of omission with 47 errors , error of addition with 19 errors, misformation with 61 errors and misordering with 3 errors. The students made the dominant error in misformation category. It can be seen from the percentage result where misformation was 47%,then followed by error of omission with 36%,errors of addition with 15% and misordering with 2%.On the other hand in Pre Test students committed error in Misformation was 54%, error with omission 38%, Addition 6%, and Misordering 2%. The researcher finally got the conclusion that in both tests most of the students made dominant errors in Misformation.
