Abstract

The majority of educators currently acknowledge that students need to understand and know how to use language forms in authentic communication and text environments. The meaning of a language unit becomes clear through linguistic context that consists of surrounding word selection and discourse structures and syntactic and morphological indicators. The practice of contextualizing language learning theory has existed in language education since at least theoretical first principles were introduced. The research discusses various context signals within sentences or sections that assist readers to interpret unfamiliar vocabulary and new words. This study examines the six context clues of definition, logic deduction, synonyms, antonyms,  root words and affixes and grammar through document/text analysis which belongs to qualitative research methodologies. Students require context clues to create their own word-learning strategies that lead to more enriched vocabulary comprehension during talks with others as well as while reading.
