GIST Education and Learning Research Journal, n23 p7-32 Jul-Dec 2021
This study was designed to investigate the impact of visual mnemonic technique on young and adult Iranian English learners' vocabulary learning. The current study followed a quasi-experimental design. 48 female students were selected based on their performance on the Quick Placement Test. The participants were divided into four groups, two experimental and two control groups. Prior to the treatment, the participants of both groups were given a pre-test to determine the knowledge of vocabulary. Then, the experimental groups received the visual mnemonic technique for 8 sessions. The control groups went through a traditional method of teaching vocabulary. After 8 sessions, a post-test was administered to all groups. Two-way ANOVA between groups was run to the results of the vocabulary tests. The results exhibited that the experimental groups who received instruction on mnemonic technique outperformed their counterparts in post-test of vocabulary. However, the differences between the effects of mnemonic technique for young and adult learners who received the specific treatment were not statistically significant (P=0.05).
