Secondary Education tends to focus more on grammar than on vocabulary.
However, both language aspects are essential for communication. For this reason, it is
necessary to introduce methods which foster students’ ability to use the English they learn
in the EFL classroom in their real lives. In particular, the aim of this proposal is to teach
vocabulary by activating frames, in which vocabulary is organised in our brains,
according to Fillmore (1982).
The proposal developed in this study consists of three activities which have the
aim of activating three frames so as to teach vocabulary related to Feelings and Injuries.
In order to verify if these activities are efficient at teaching that vocabulary, two groups
of 2nd ESO have participated in experimental procedures. The first group followed the
traditional method of learning word lists by heart and practising them in workbook
exercises. The second group developed the activities based on the Frame Semantics
approach.
Thus, the impact of this proposal can be determined by using two tools created for
that purpose. These tools measured the previous knowledge about the vocabulary and
how much vocabulary both groups were able to use when they had already learnt and
practised it through the different treatments. Finally, the results of both groups were
compared, and they showed if the proposal based on Frame Semantics was more efficient
at teaching vocabulary. [-]
