Acquisition of some selected phrasal verbs by English major undergraduates at Yarmouk University in Jordan
2012
Overview
This study aimed at identifying the errors that English major undergraduates at Yarmouk University make in the acquisition of some selected English phrasal verbs. Specifically, the study attempted to answer the following questions: 1.What are the levels of acquisition of the English major undergraduates at Yarmouk University in the selected phrasal verbs? 2.What are the types of errors made by the English major undergraduates when using the selected phrasal verbs? 3.What are the causes of errors that English major undergraduate students at Yarmouk University make when using the selected English phrasal verbs? 4.Are there any significant differences in the acquisition of the selected English phrasal verbs between English major undergraduate students at Yarmouk University due to academic level (year)? 5.Are there any significant differences in the acquisition of the selected English phrasal verbs between English major undergraduate students at Yarmouk University due to gender? The research sample consisted of 120 English major undergraduates, (87) female and (33) male students. A forty-item acquisition test developed by the researcher was designed to assess the students' acquisition of the selected phrasal verbs in four related areas: semantics, structure, collocations and phonology. The results indicated that (67.5%) of the responses were above (50%) whereas (32.5%) were below (50%). The students did best in the area of structures with a mean of (78.3%). Moreover, the results indicated that the respondents encounter difficulties and problems in the acquisition of semantic and collocational features of phrasal verbs. Results related to the fourth question indicated that there were significant differences at the (0.05) level in the acquisition of the selected English phrasal verbs in favor of the fourth and third year students on semantics and collocations. Results also indicated there were significant statistical differences on the structure section in favor of the fourth-year students. However, results related to the fifth question indicated no significant statistical differences at (0.05) level between English major students due to gender. The researcher concluded her study with some recommendations.
