Popis:	In Jordan, deaf learners suffer from great weakness in English language; this is attributed to using the traditional method for implementing modern or more active methods. Therefore, this study aimed at looking into the effect of a computerized glossary instructional program on deaf students to learn English language vocabulary skills and their retention in Jordan. The two questions of the study were: Are there any statistically significant differences at (α=0.05) in student’s vocabulary skills that are attributed to the teaching strategy? Are there statistically differences in deaf students’ retention of the new vocabulary items attributed to the teaching strategy? The design of the research is quasi-experimental with an experimental group and a control group. Pre-post test was used to collect the data. The delayed is used to measure students' retention. The participants of the study were male and female students from Al Amal School for deaf students in Irbid city. They were randomly divided into a control group (21 students) and an experimental group (22 students). The results of the study showed that the computerized glossary had a significant effect on deaf students' vocabulary skills as well their retention. Thus, the deaf students had the ability to remember the computerized glossary through spelling the new words, reading them, and remembering their meanings in Arabic through using the sign language. In light of the results, it is recommended to integrate the computerized glossary to deaf students in the Jordanian EFL curriculum for teaching English language and vocabulary skills.
