Hanoi, 2024 Vii Thi Hang il ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to examine the influence of vocabulary notebooks on students’ ability to acquire new vocabulary and their perspective on this learning approach. Current observations emphasize the significance of acquiring vocabulary in the process of learning a second language, as it constitutes the fundamental component of effective communication.
This enables learners to express their ideas and comprehend others accurately. The research employs an action research methodology, involving 40 seventh-grade students. Through pre- tests, post-tests, vocabulary notebooks, journals, and survey questionnaires, the study aims to enhance students’ vocabulary acquisition and gauge their opinions about this approach. Data collected from the 40 students demonstrates a positive connection between vocabulary notebook utilization and improved vocabulary skills among students.
Furthermore, a majority of participants display a favorable attitude towards the incorporation of vocabulary notebooks, recognizing their potential to facilitate the retention of word forms and spellings and to promote the practical use of words across different contexts. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for educators and educational institutions engaged in vocabulary instruction. Additionally, recommendations for enhancing students' vocabulary learning experiences in the future are proposed within the paper's conclusion. 11 TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION 00157.- LH HH HH HH HH nghiệt ii ABSTRRACT.- LH HH TH HH HH HH HH HH.
