| Summary: | The role of context has long been considered extremely important
to deprive the meanings of unfamiliar words. This study aims to
investigate how the EFL students perform the strategy of guessing the
words‟ meaning from context with respect to their preferences, perceptions,
and practice. A case study research design was employed to collect in-depth
information from ten first-year students whose vocabulary size was adequate
to allow learning through guessing. The study was carried out in three
phases: first, students completed a questionnaire on the strategy choice;
second, they took a vocabulary test to see their actual practice of the strategy
and finally a structured interview was conducted to examine the underlying
reasons of their choice. |
