Abstract
This study aimed at developing vocabulary learning and retention of Al- Azhar secondary stage students by using PAVE and Vocabulary Notebook teaching strategies. It adopted a quasi-experimental design employing two groups; experimental and control. The design included an independent variable (PAVE and Vocabulary Notebook Strategies) and two dependent variables (vocabulary learning and retention) which were measured by a Vocabulary Learning Test (VLT) and a Retention Test. The sample consisted of 62 first year female students of two Preparatory / Secondary Institutes for girls in Dakahliya Governorate. Results revealed that there is a statistically significant difference between the mean score of the experimental and control group students on the post vocabulary test in favor of the experimental group. In addition, a statistically significant difference was found between the mean score of the experimental group pre and post vocabulary testing in favor of the post one. Finally, no statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the experimental group on the post and retention vocabulary tests. These results showed that PAVE and Vocabulary Notebook strategies had a positive effect not only on the students’ vocabulary learning but also on the students’ vocabulary retention. Recommendations included using vocabulary notebook and PAVE strategies as a framework for enhancing vocabulary learning with secondary school students. It also suggested that further research should be conducted related to using vocabulary notebook and PAVE strategies on developing prep. stage pupils’ vocabulary learning.
