Abstract
The study is targeting to explore the Impact of Recall and Memory Strategies on English Additional Language Students' Vocabulary Learning. The research, therefore, will try to determine the effects of memory strategies in EAL. In order to get adequate data related to the study, the general research comprises High school student’s ages 15-16 grade 10 participants. The use of survey method, use of questionnaire and interviews were used to determine the impacts recall and memory strategies to EAL student’s vocabulary learning. The participants were divided into different groups whereby different levels of mastering the vocabularies were used to ascertain the research. The participants were trained on how to capture certain vocabularies. In addition, the participants were trained on how to implement memory strategies in learning the vocabularies in the class. During the study, a pre-test and post-test were carried to support the aim of the research. In addition, a questionnaire was also used to determine the reliability of the results obtained during the study. A small group of the participants was trained on the memory strategies on mastering vocabularies that is the keywords and the semantic map. On another hand, another group was involved in 2 day session per two weeks. After completion of research data was collected and the results presented by use of tables as indicated in the appendix of the research. In general, the results obtained suggested the impacts of memory strategy and recall in EAL student's vocabulary learning. The overall impact was based on the strategy of training that enhances the memory and cognitive strategy in mastering vocabularies.
1. Introduction.
Generally, the principally component of language is the capturing of the key vocabularies which aid in boosting the level of language one has. Mastering key words and their uses is difficult than learning the language. Some of the schools are teaching word list as a discrete point in learning that is more communicative (Bedore, Pena, Griffin & Hixon, 2016 p.45).Therefore, one can argue that lexicon is a core part of linguistic since it helps the leaner to learn the language and at the same time communicate in a proper manner. The impacts of recall and memory strategy are the main concept which will determine the usage and mastering of word stock. However, vocabulary learning and retention posses is a big challenge to learners.
