AB  - Every single day, we use spoken and written words to communicate thoughts, ideas and emotions.
Sometimes, we are successful in communication and sometimes we are not quite successful. We can say what
we mean by use of good vocabulary knowledge. Facing with a written text, a good vocabulary is a very
important tool. By having a good knowledge of vocabulary, you will be able to choose the best appropriate
word. The purpose of the present study was set out to investigate the effects of vocabulary awareness on
depth of vocabulary knowledge. In order to measure the effects of vocabulary awareness instruction on
student’s depth of vocabulary knowledge, a Word Associates Test (WAT) was administered to both groups
in pretest and post test. After comparing the mean scores of pre test and post test results, it was revealed that
vocabulary awareness instruction group outperformed the control group in reading comprehension performance
but not in depth of vocabulary knowledge, so, vocabulary awareness instruction does not influence
participant’s depth of vocabulary knowledge
