Vocabulary issues have never played an essential role within teaching until the
arrival of the 1980s, becoming a matter of discussion in the educational field due to the
different methods employed for its development. In addition, nowadays, some aspects
such as the phenomenon of false friends do not receive as much attention as they should
when learning English as a foreign language. Therefore, the purpose of this study is
twofold: first, it aims at exhibiting the effectiveness of two techniques used for teaching
false friend and second, it also focuses on highlighting those exercises and false friends
which caused extra difficulty and determining the reasons why it happens. 23 highschool
students in their last year of secondary education were exposed to two different
teaching techniques in order to determine their effectiveness. Group A was exposed to a
much more traditional technique by means of explicit input (using L1 equivalences)
whilst Group B was exposed to a more modern teaching technique by means of games
and quizzes (using synonyms and definitions instead of L1 equivalences). Materials
included a PowerPoint presentation, several exercises to practise and a final test.
Analysis of percentages revealed a) the modern technique was more effective than the
traditional one and b) productive exercises (working with synonyms) caused more
difficulty than receptive exercises. These results are discussed and suggestions for
further research are given. [-]
