Abstract

Expressing vocabulary in copious forms leadsparticularly to the holistic development of students’ academic and their professionalexcellence. Enhancing word power to student -professionals lends fluidity on the arena to convey the most suitable thought-provoking ideas that are in the mind.60 undergraduate-heterogenous students have been identified after conducting a random test on vocabulary. Based on their preintervention score of the test, participants have been randomly assigned into two treatment groups namely Experimental Group (EG) and Controlled Group (CG). EG has been instructed and guided over stipulated time on Vocabulary Building, and CGhas not been received any instructions on vocabulary during the intervention, and they have been given the regular classes.
Significant findings have been meticulously observed over Experimental Group during the intervention programme of vocabulary. The formulated language skills have been tested on Speaking and Writing modules to know the test’s reliability and accuracy. According to (Hammill & Larsen,1996), the test has been formulated to find out variations between the groups. This research study reveals that vocabulary can be enhanced in writing and speaking, if vocabulary is an integral part of lectures and focused strategies are imparted.
