Review:
This study investigated
the effect of producing oral summary of short stories by language learners on
vocabulary learning of EFL learners at intermediate level and the possible
different effect of this classroom activity on male and female participants.
The
study can also help language teacher opt between two common classroom techniques
with regard to using short stories in the classroom e.g. oral production of
short stories by the teachers or the learners. The participants for the study
were chosen randomly among one hundred twenty intermediate Iranian EFL learners
who studied at Zaban Sara language institute in Miandoab, Iran. The findings of
this study proved that oral summary of short stories can have a positive effect
on learning vocabulary by Iranian intermediate EFL learners. This study also proved
that the effect of oral production of short stories on learning vocabulary of
Iranian EFL learners at intermediate level does not differ based on their gender.
Because Descriptive statistic in table
12. indicating that there is a weak effect size and that the difference between
the groups is not meaningful. This study also proved that providing learners
with a meaningful context (considering that short stories are meaningful
context) can increase their vocabulary learning among language learners.
