| dc.description.abstract | This study attempts to explore the students achievement of vocabulary items included in the textbook of grade seven. Four schools and altogether forty students from each of the four schools of Kailali district were selected for this study. I prepared a list of content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) used in the English textbook of grade seven. A set of written tests was used as a main instrument for the data collection. Ten test items included of 40 individual vocabulary items, 32 nouns, 23 verbs, 20 adjectives and 13 adverbs. The data were provided by the 40 students of two sub-urban and two urban schools of Kailali district. The sample population was selected by using a random sampling procedure. The data obtained were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive approach and simple statistical tools viz. mean and percentage. The finding of the study showed that the English vocabulary achievement of the students of grade 7 on content words was satisfactory in total but while doing school-wise analysis, the students of Shree Kalika Lower Secondary School were found unsatisfactory in the use of content words in comparison to other schools. The students of Shree Arunodaya H. S. School were found unsatisfactory in the use of verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Similarly, the students of Shree United Academy School and Shree Mt. Saipal International Academy School were found satisfactory in verbs and adjectives and adverbs respectively. It was also found that there was a great disparity in students achievement of English vocabulary in different schools. The vocabulary achievement of boys in nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs was found better then that of girls in urban school but in nouns, the performance of girls was better than the boys in sub-urban schools. The present work is divided into four chapters. The first chapter includes general background, review of the related literature, objectives of the study and significance of the study. The second chapter i.e. methodology, focuses on the sources of data, sampling procedure, tools of data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. Similarly, the third chapter is concerned with the analysis and interpretation of data. And findings and recommendations are given in the fourth chapter. On the basis of the findings some recommendations and pedagogical implications are drawn. The references and appendix are the concluding parts of the study. | en_US |
