THE IMPACT OF ETYMOLOGICAL INSTRUCTION ON RECEPTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE VOCABULARY LEARNING OF ADULT EFL LEARNERS IN TURKEY

Abstract
This study examines the impact of etymological instruction on receptive and productive vocabulary learning among adult English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Turkey. Etymological instruction focuses on teaching the origins and historical development of words to enhance vocabulary acquisition. The study utilizes a quantitative research approach, involving an experimental group that receives etymological instruction and a control group that does not. The participants' receptive and productive vocabulary learning is assessed through pre-test and post-test measurements. The findings reveal the effectiveness of etymological instruction in improving both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge among adult EFL learners. The implications of the study highlight the pedagogical value of incorporating etymological instruction in EFL classrooms to enhance vocabulary learning.
