Abstract:
Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine whether word formation strategy improves vocabulary learning of Iranian intermediate EFL students, or not. The research design is True experimental, pretest post test control group design. Hence, a group of seventy homogeneous students were selected. They were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Then, both groups enjoyed a series of similar instructions except that the students in experimental group were required to divide the words they are faced with to their meaningful and functional constituents. In order to make students learn vocabularies through analyzing them to their functional and grammatical affixes, they are led to relate the faced words to their relative groups and compare and contrast the similarities and differences between them. In this study the students used the books, which they studied in their institute. Finally, in order to capture the probable significant effect of learning vocabulary through word formation strategy on vocabulary learning of Iranian intermediate EFL students, a t-test was used. The results rejected the null hypothesis, and indicated that learning vocabulary through word formation strategy positively affected Iranian intermediate EFL students' vocabulary learning.
