Although the problem of teaching and learning vocabulary has
experienced a great development in the last decades, in the
contemporary context, teaching vocabulary knowledge is still a major
challenge on all levels. The present article attempts to tackle and
solve some of the issues encountered by both teachers and students
in the classroom regarding vocabulary knowledge. This article
presents a study examining the effects of the Vocabulary Box, Kick
Me Activity, and the Vocabulary Survey in 2nd-year ESO1 students, to
show if the method of learning words has an impact on the student
learning process. Results are based on the final written test, student
observation, and student survey. Different methods produced
significant variations in achievement scores, and the data-collection
instruments showed that students had a preference for the
Vocabulary Box and selected the Kick Me Activity as a second choice.
This empirical study produces findings linked to the interaction of
students with different dynamic and stimulating tasks that
encourage not only participation, fun and engagement, but also
vocabulary knowledge acquisition. [-]
