“…In this respect, it should be said that vocabulary is important for foreign students. Ching-Ying and Shu (2013) looked at whether there was a relationship between vocabulary and understanding in their research, and they found a positive relationship between students' vocabulary and reading semantics.…”

The number of people who learn Turkish as a foreign language is increasing day by day. With the inclusion of foreign nationals in teaching, the importance of Turkish is increasing. Some of the learners of Turkish as a foreign language are studying in TÖMER, but some of them are directly starting their education life from primary school. It is necessary to be rich in term of the vocabulary of foreign students to be able to adapt to the Turkish education system, accurately and effectively. Vocabulary is the most basic element of the language which is the same as the society. In this research aimed at measuring the vocabulary of 8th grade students in secondary school, a screening model was used from quantitative research methods. Vocabulary of 8th grade middle school foreign students studying in Malatya during the 2017-2018 academic year were measured. The "Vocabulary Scale" adapted by Fire and Fog (2016), "Reading Anxiety Scale" developed by Altunkaya and Erdem (2015) and "Listening Anxiety Scale" developed by Rpe (2015) were used as data collection tools in the study. All the activities related to other unknown words in the 8th grade Turkish textbook of the middle school were determined by the researchers. Opinions were received that one of these words should be asked in the 8th grade students in the context of the research. It was determined which words should be asked in line with the opinions received from three TOMER lecturers and two field experts. Data collected from students were analyzed by SPSS program. As a result of the correlation analysis, there was a very weak relationship between Reading Awareness and word information and a significant negative correlation (r =-0.207; p = 0.038 <0.05). Regression analysis was used to determine the causal relationship between vocabulary and reading anxiety (F = 4,412; p = 0,038 <0.05). As a determinant of the reading anxiety level, the relationship with the word information variables (explanatory power) was found to be weak (R2 = 0.033). The vocabulary of learners decreased the anxiety of reading (ß =-0,207). In this case, it can be said that the vocabulary of the students will reduce the anxiety situations. There is no significant difference in the effect of vocabulary on listening anxiety. In this case, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between vocabulary and listening concerns of students. On the other hand, there is a moderate, positive relationship between listening anxiety and reading anxiety.

For young learners of English as a foreign language (EFL), the initial acquisition of English vocabulary is crucial to English proficiency. This study conducted a systematic review of studies of primary school students’ EFL vocabulary learning to identify types of activities for learning new vocabulary. A total of 57 vocabulary learning activities from 22 studies were coded, yielding ten types of intentional and eight types of incidental learning activities. The intentional learning activities involved more psychological conditions than the incidental ones. Following the involvement load hypothesis (ILH), we identified activities encompassing various combinations of psychological conditions inducing the highest and lowest involvement loads (ILs); the more such conditions an activity encompasses, the deeper the vocabulary learning processes, and the higher the IL, the better the retention. The comparison between the activity types provides useful information for teachers and researchers to design age-appropriate English vocabulary learning activities.

In the study, the effect of hierarchical vocabulary activities prepared in accordance with Gass’s Second Language Acquisition Model developed by Ateş (2016) on students’ written expression skills and writing anxiety was investigated. While the determined target words were taught to the experimental group with hierarchical vocabulary activities, the supervised group was kept in a regular diary. The method of the study consists of an experimental design with pre-test-post-test-measurement and supervised group. Experimental and supervised groups consisted of foreign students studying at Inonu-TÖMER in the 2017-2018 academic year. An essay was written to the students as a pre-test and a post-test, and the Writing Anxiety Scale was applied. No significant difference was found between the experimental and supervised groups of the Written Expression Rubric, which is used to score the compositions, in the pre-test and post-tests. It was concluded that the privatized instruction applied to both groups was beneficial for students’ written expressions. There was a significant difference between the experimental and supervised groups in terms of Writing Anxiety Scale pre-test scores. It was determined that the writing anxiety of the experimental group was higher in the pre-test.
