Abstract (2. Language): 
This study investigates the two types of second language vocabulary learning in an experimental design. 21 Turkish EFL learners were divided into two treatment groups. The definition group learned vocabulary through definitions of the words whereas a context group learned through a reading text. The vocabulary learning levels were checked through both recognition and recall tasks with post-tests given just after the treatment and retention-tests given two weeks after the treatment. The results of the 2X2 Mixed design ANOVA showed that the context group outperformed the definition group in both recognition and recall tasks for both post-test and retention test.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma ikinci dilde sözcük ediniminde iki farklı yöntemi deneysel olarak incelemektedir. İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen 21 Türk öğrenci iki deney grubuna ayrılmıştır. 'Tanım 'grubundaki öğrenciler sözcükleri tanımlar yoluyla öğrenirken 'bağlam 'grubundaki öğrenciler sözcükleri bir okuma parçası yoluyla öğrendiler. Sözcükleri öğrenme düzeyleri ise uygulamadan hemen sonra verilen hatırlama ve geri çağırma testleri ile uygulamadan iki hafta sonra verilen testlerle ölçüldü. 2X2 AN OVA sonuçları bağlam grubunun tanım grubuna göre her iki testte de (hatırlama ve geri çağırma) hem uygulama sonrasında verilen hem de iki hafta sonrasında verilen test¬ lerde daha başarılı olduğunu gösterdi.
