| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to investigate "the effect of using Realia on sixth graders' acquisition of English vocabulary at Tulkarem schools". The researcher adopted the semi-experimental design and used a vocabulary test to achieve this. This test was applied to (156) female students studying at Tulkarem Basic First Girls' School and Nour Shams Basic Girls School. The sample was divided into two main groups, (78) in the experimental group and (78) in the control group. During the first semester of 2022-2023, the researcher distributed the pre-vocabulary test to the experimental and control group. Then, the researcher distributed the post-vocabulary test to the same sample after teaching the students in the experimental group by using Realia, while the control group used the conventional methods. The results of the study showed that there were no significant differences between the experimental and control groups in the pre-test. Nonetheless, the investigation revealed significant differences between the two groups in the post-test, in favour of the experimental group that employed Realia for vocabulary instruction performing better than the control group. Based on these results, the study recommended that Realia can be used to teach vocabulary, particularly to younger students. Another promising finding is that Realia has proved to be an effective tool for increasing students' vocabulary knowledge. Moreover, teachers strongly recommend using Realia, which makes learning more interesting to students. In addition, School administrators are advised to encourage English teachers to use Realia in the classroom because it is so beneficial. Keywords: Acquisition; Realia; sixth grader; vocabulary. | |
