| Popis: | Vocabulary development in language learners is investigated through two basic strategic modes: teaching and learning strategies. The former lies entirely in the hands of the language teacher while the latter is predominantly executed by the learner, although it should be promoted by the teacher as well. This study wishes to contribute to the discussion by providing evidence from teachers in reading comprehension tasks. We wish to record the most common and effective vocabulary teaching strategies that teachers have adopted in the teaching of Greek as a Foreign Language (GFL) in consideration of the learners’ L2 language level. Almost all teachers of GFL in Istanbul (Turkey), members of the Dialog-os digital community, contributed to this study. Study results showed that among the most common and effective strategies adopted by teachers of GFL were a)the use of new words in context b) the utilization of morphologicalsegmentation of unknown words c) providing synonyms andantonyms and d) the use of audio and visual material. |
