the notion of linking words

Guessing the meanings of unknown words from context has been considered to be an effective skill in vocabulary acquisition and language skills development. In order to study the effectiveness of the guesswork, this research investigated the guessing ability of fifty-nine non-English 10th graders at Nguyen Trai Gifted High School, Hai Duong, through two tests. A pre-test was given to students to identify their guessing ability before training. After the training period, which lasted three weeks, the students were required to a post-test to find out their improvement in the guessing ability. In addition, the author surveyed ten English teachers at Nguyen Trai Gifted High School to get their opinions on teaching and training the guessing strategy. The results indicated that the ability to guess is useful for students to deal with reading texts containing new words. Finally, the findings were discussed, and some suggestions and implications for applying the guessing skill in language teaching and learning were also proposed at the end of the thesis.
