    Assessment of Senior High Students’ English Vocabulary Acquisition

    through Context Clues

    CHAPTER I
    THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
    Introduction

    Vocabulary learning is dominant in language acquisition, whether the


    language is a second or a foreign language, and crucial to the learners overall
    language acquisition. According to the study conducted by Ghaderpour,
    Moghadam and Zainal (2012), the fundamental reasons for this notion is that
    a lot of unknown words, which learners encounter while reading could cause
    difficulties in processing the text. Students and teachers alike know that many
    of the reading comprehension breakdowns experienced by students involve
    word recognition and lexical access.

    Finding a context clue is one of the basic strategies of all the readers to
    comprehend the meaning of words in a text. Dictionary.com (2019) explained
    context clues as hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual
    word within a book. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the
    word to which it refers or it may follow in the next sentence. Because most of
    our vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important that we are able to
    recognize and take advantage of context clues.

    Using context clues to infer unknown words during reading is a commonly


    used strategy for both first language and second language readers. They
    added that secondary language learners find this a difficult task due to limited
    reading comprehension capacity in the target language. Indeed, compared to
    consulting a dictionary, guessing word meanings from context clues can be
    less disruptive for extensive reading. Yet, whether this reading strategy can
    lead to effective vocabulary learning and successful comprehension of the
    text, research suggests various findings.
    1. What is the profile of the students in terms of;
    1.1 Sex
    1.2 Socio-economic status
    2. Vocabulary Learning Status
    3. Is there a significant difference between the male and female students’
    vocabulary knowledge?
    4. Is there a significant relationship between the socio-economic status
    and the vocabulary knowledge of the students?
