Learners’ Vocabulary Knowledge and Comprehension Skill

Author(s) Jenefer E. Merjuar

Abstract This study examined the levels of learners’ vocabulary knowledge and comprehension skill and explored the relationship between these two variables among 170 students in the District of San Jose, Antique, Philippines during the school year 2024–2025. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study assessed learners’ vocabulary knowledge in terms of word meaning, word recognition, and word usage, and evaluated comprehension skills through literal, inferential, and evaluative dimensions. Data were gathered using a researcher-developed and validated questionnaire that underwent expert review and pilot testing, resulting in a high reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85). Descriptive statistics such as weighted mean and standard deviation were used to determine the levels of vocabulary knowledge and comprehension skill, while Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was employed to examine the relationship between the variables at a 0.05 level of significance. Results indicated that learners demonstrated moderately high levels of vocabulary knowledge and comprehension skill, with the highest performance observed in word meaning and literal comprehension. Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found between vocabulary knowledge and comprehension skill, suggesting that learners with stronger vocabulary knowledge tend to exhibit better comprehension abilities. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating vocabulary development with reading comprehension instruction to improve learners’ language proficiency and academic performance. The study recommends targeted instructional interventions that focus on contextual vocabulary use, critical thinking, and higher-order comprehension skills.
