6. Conclusion
findings in terms of cause and effect analysis, some general pedagogical implications could be drawn for
colleges that share similar demographic features. Specifically, it is essential to highlight the role of teachers to
make available words at the 2,000 level so that students can be exposed to these words in their daily reading or
entertainment literacy encounters. Given these students’ vocabulary size, it is recommended that they continue to
develop their knowledge of high-frequency words at the 5,000 and 10,000 word levels and, at the same time,
expand their knowledge of low-frequency words. Furthermore, teachers need to play a more active role in
creating awareness of the importance of vocabulary related activities in building students’ vocabulary size.
