Analysis of Questionnaires for Data Collection about Learning Strategies and Vocabulary Acquisition

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to present considerations related to the teaching and learning of vocabulary in primary schools in Macedonia, where Italian is taught as a second foreign language. For the purposes of the research, two types of questionnaires(surveys) were conducted, each consisting of a dozen questions, one intended for Italian language teachers and the other, for students from 15 elementary schools. Through the analysis of the data from the questionnaires, we tried to identify the strategies for studying and acquiring the vocabulary (lexical competence) applied by the students on the one hand, and on the other hand, the approaches and methods applied by their teachers in the teaching of the Italian language.
