It has been believed by researchers that vocabulary note books improve vocabulary acquisition. Many researchers believe that in order to learn a new word, L2 learners need to have both breadth of vocabulary knowledge and the depth of vocabulary knowledge (Nation, 2001, Qian , Schedl ,2004, Chapelle , 1998). Keeping vocabulary notebooks enhance both of these two important aspects of vocabulary knowledge. According to Walters and Buzkurt (2009) keeping vocabulary notebooks has a positive effect on learning vocabulary. This study investigated the effect of keeping vocabulary notebooks on Iranian pre intermediate English learners’ vocabulary acquisition. Thirty intermediate EFL students from Parsan language school participated in this study. The students were divided into two groups of fifteen students. One group was experimental and the other group was control. A vocabulary note book program was implemented in one class which was the experimental group over 6 weeks. The control group was one class of 15 students who followed the same curriculum with the same materials but without keeping vocabulary notebooks. The posttest and pretest showed significantly greater learning of target words in experimental group. Besides students and teachers in experimental group showed a great tendency to continue using vocabulary notebooks after the study finished. These findings lead the authors to conclude that vocabulary notebooks can be an effective learning tool in EFL classrooms.
