Effectiveness of Using Pictures in Teaching Vocabulary in Primary Level

Abstract

The present study entitled ‘Effectiveness of Using Pictures in Teaching Vocabulary in Primary Level’ was carried out to determine the effectiveness of pictures in teaching vocabulary in primary level. 50 Students of grade one studying at Shree Khaireni Higher Secondary, Khairenitar 8, Tanahun were the sample population of this work. The tests (pre and post) were the major tools for data collection. A pre-test was administered before actual experimental classroom teaching, and post- test was administered immediately after classroom teaching. I was involved in the experimental teaching for the purpose of carrying out this research. After administering the pre-test, the students were divided into two groups on the basis of section division. One group (Group A) was taught by using pictures whereas another group (Group B) was taught using traditional methods. Each group attended fifteen lessons. Then, a post –test was administered. After that, the results of these tests were compared to determine the effectiveness of picture technique in teaching vocabulary items. From this research, it was found that the students who were taught through picture technique were found to have better result than the students who were taught through traditional technique. The findings of this study were determined on the basis of average marks obtained by the students and differences in percentage.
