Özet
Nowadays, it has been observed that the number of vocabulary studies has increased, and diversified with respect to target, scope and method. New needs that emerge as a result of the rapid social changes, changing definitions of the individual, and new understandings of education explain not only the increase in the number of vocabulary studies, but also the diversification in the methods used for these studies. The studies which were generally conducted in the past in order to detect the vocabulary of the language (frequency studies) and in which quantitative methods were dominantly used have been focusing nowadays on enriching the vocabulary, especially on the targets of improving the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, and functionalizing the educational materials. In accordance with these targets, it is observed that alongside with quantitative methods, qualitative methods have been used in the studies abroad, and that different analysis methods have been developed. In this study, evaluations are made on the methods of some studies conducted abroad on vocabulary. Precedence in the evaluation is given to the frequency studies, the first stage of the subject, and afterwards, the methods used nowadays in the studies that aim especially at developing the vocabulary are emphasized. Criteria of NRP (The National Reading Panel), actively engaged in the vocabulary studies, predominantly in the USA, were benefited from in selecting the studies used in the evaluation. 10 reading-focused studies, most of which were also evaluated by NRP and which were obtained from ERIC database, were investigated with regards to their targets and methods, and the methods that especially constitute the basis of the studies. In the aforementioned evaluation, the discussions prominent in the West with respect to vocabulary via the common findings in the investigated studies were also included.
