The Effect of Teaching Vocabulary through the Diglot –Weave Technique on Vocabulary Learning of Iranian High School Students☆

Abstract The present study aimed at investigating the effect of teaching vocabulary through the diglot weave technique. Sixty students were chosen and divided into two groups of 30. Control groups received the method of teaching vocabulary and the experimental group was exposed to the diglot weave technique. The treatment took 5 sessions of 45 minutes. A posttest was administered to check how much students have improved. The result of ANCOVA revealed a statistically significant difference between the means of the two groups in both pretest and posttest which implied that the application of the diglot weave technique can reinforce vocabulary learning.
