"The Effects of Graphic Organizer Strategy on Improving Iranian EFL Learners’ Vocabulary Learning Elnaz Shoari* MA, University of Tabriz, Aras International Campus, Iran elnaz.
In this way, graphic organizer is supported by schema theory, because graphic organizers match the mind and help learners to learn new items in a connected form to their background information and in organized fashion.
As a result, as it was mentioned earlier since different task types result in varying degree of involvement load, there should be an effective instruction for teaching vocabulary and since GOs help learners to be engaged deeply in the process of learning, increased learning is thus supported by this hypothesis.
Research suggests that graphic organizers increase comprehension because of several reasons: GOs match the mind; they show clearly how concepts are connected to prior knowledge to help comprehension; organizers support the memory; they help keep information and make it ready to use when it comes to higher thought processes; organizers result in involving learners with a combination of the spoken and printed texts and diagrams.
Keshavarz, Atai, and Mossahebi Mohammadi (2006) also examined the effect of semantic mapping strategy instruction on vocabulary learning of intermediate EFL students.
5. Discussion & Conclusions The researchers taught the vocabulary items to control group through traditional instruction in which words with their first language equivalents were given to learners.
Teachers could use Graphic organizers to help students become independent learners who have a so effective way for discovering, consolidating, and remembering new words."
