Caupayan1 ✉, Joey S. Revelo2  \n1College of Education, Misamis University, Philippines  \n2Ozamiz City National High School, Philippines  \nAbstract  \nVocabulary development remains a critical concern among students in the Philippines. Despite ongoing efforts to enhance language education, many students struggle to achieve satisfactory vocabulary proficiency, which significantly impacts their overall language skills. Vocabulary acquisition is fundamental to developing reading comprehension, writing, and effective communication. This study investigates the effectiveness of the “Words-of-theDay” strategy in enhancing students’ vocabulary, building on previous research that underscores the importance of vocabulary development in overall language proficiency. The general objective of the research was to evaluate whether this strategy could significantly improve vocabulary skills among students. Conducted during the 2023–2024 school year at Ozamiz City National High School, the study employed a quasi-experimental design involving both a control group and an experimental group. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, comprising students from two comparable classes with similar academic abilities. The primary instrument for measuring vocabulary proficiency was a standardized vocabulary test administered before and after the intervention. Data analysis involved paired t-tests to compare pre- and postintervention scores within groups and independent t-tests to assess differences between the control and experimental groups. The findings revealed that while the control group exhibited a significant improvement in vocabulary scores postintervention, the experimental group demonstrated a more substantial enhancement, with students achieving higher performance levels overall. This supports the conclusion that the “Words-of-the-Day” strategy effectively enhances vocabulary skills and boosts confidence in language use. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators integrate the “Words-of-the-Day”strategy into the regular curriculum to foster better vocabulary acquisition and long-term language development among students.  \nKeywords: Engagement, Language Proficiency, Strategy, Vocabulary, Wordsof-the-Day  \n✉ Correspondence Godman R.

INTRODUCTION  \nEnglish, the official language in many countries and spoken by approximately 1.5 billion people (Crystal, 2011), plays a critical role in academic and career success (Vadivel, 2018) . In the Philippines, English is widely used as the medium of instruction in schools, making proficiency in the language a key determinant of academic achievement (Kotut, 2013). Vocabulary, as a fundamental component of language proficiency, significantly impacts reading comprehension, text production, and overall communication skills (Nation, 2013). However, limited vocabulary knowledge often hinders students’ ability to comprehend textsand express ideas effectively, particularly among struggling readers (Rupley & Nichols, 2006) .  \nWhile targeted vocabulary instruction has been shown to enhance literacy and academic performance (McKeown, 2019), many students in the Philippines face challenges in acquiring adequate vocabulary to meet their academic and communicative needs. These challenges stem from limited exposure to rich linguistic input,","cbCaifkMFDR9EH8a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifkMFDR9EH8a","pdf",207609,"English","# Introduction\n## Research Questions\n# Methods","[{\"question\":\"What was the main objective of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To evaluate whether the “Words-of-the-Day” strategy could significantly improve students’ vocabulary skills.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the “Words-of-the-Day” approach implemented in class?\",\"answer\":\"Two related English words were presented daily (except Thursdays) with definitions and example sentences, followed by synonym identification and sentence construction through group discussions.\"},{\"question\":\"What research design and analysis methods were used?\",\"answer\":\"A quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups, purposive sampling, standardized vocabulary tests administered before and after the intervention, paired t-tests for within-group comparisons, and independent t-tests for between-group differences.\"}]","Utilizing the ‘Words of the Day’ Strategy to Enhance Students’ Vocabulary Skills | PDF",1790610901,13]
