To what extent can Word Sort technique improve the students’ vocabulary mastery

Without a sufficient vocabulary, the students cannot communicate effectively or express their idea in both oral and written forms. Furthermore, the students are expected to master vocabulary and its grammatical rules to make communication as well to another student. On the other hand, lack of vocabulary can cause problem for them to maintain communication. Therefore, if the students have ability in understanding the words and meaning, they do not only know the words, but also can use the words in the context.
