dc.description.abstractENGLISH SUMMARY : Purpose: This study investigated young children’s acquisition of novel words presented within audio recorded stories and their ability to understand and use these novel words. Method: Participants were 20 bilingual mainstream Grade R children. They were exposed to two audiotaped stories containing eight target words each. Pre- and post - test scores were compared to a control group condition and analysed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. Results: Results indicated that receptive vocabulary acquisition and the ability to apply the target words in sentences improved after exposure to the stories. The ability to provide definitions of these words did not significantly improve. Conclusions: Listening to story tapes can facilitate receptive vocabulary acquisition.en_ZA
