Öğe The effect of vocabulary size and vocabulary depth on reading in EFL context(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Şen, Yusuf; Kuleli, MesutThe aim of this study is to determine the effects of vocabulary size and vocabulary depth on reading performance in EFL context. To this end, Vocabulary Size Test by Nation and Beglar (2007), Words Associate Test by Read (1998), and a reading performance test, the reliability of which was found to be 381 were administered to 361 university students. In the analysis of the data, linear regression and Pearson correlation statistics were used. The results showed that vocabulary size and vocabulary depth were both significantly correlated to reading performance, but vocabulary depth predicted reading performance better.

To this end, 28 voluntary young learners were accepted to the language learning program which lasted 6 weeks. These participants were divided into two groups based on their ages. One group consisted 5-6-year old students while the other group consisted of 7-8-year-old students. There were 11 students (39,3%) in the 5-6-year-old group while there were 17 students (60,7%) in the 7-8-year-old group. Each group was taught English for 120 hours in 6 weeks. As data collection tool, students were interviewed both before the program and after the program. The items in the interview were developed by the researchers. As another data collection tool, the students were regularly observed by the researchers both in the instructional settings and in the social settings for four weeks. The data obtained through interview and observation were analyzed qualitatively. Moreover, percentage statistics were also used in the analysis of data obtained through interviews. The results of the analysis showed that an English learning program lasting 6 weeks significantly contributes to young learners' socialization process. (C) 2014 The Authors.

To this end, Riffaterre's (1978) intertextuality theory has been adopted. The findings were based on Aktulum's (2011) definition of allusions. Cultural, scientific and historical allusions have been defined in the novel. In translation analysis, it was found that certain allusions were over-interpreted in the translated product. In the translation analysis, Kasar's (2009) classification of translation evaluation was adopted. (C) 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
