Effect of Mnemonic Instructional Strategy (Keywords) on Students’ Memory at Secondary School Level

Abstract

    The present study investigated the effect of mnemonic instructional strategy (Keywords) on students' memory at the secondary school level. The students of Grade 10 were the population of this research. The sixty (60) students of GGHS Mewakhel, Bannu were the sample of this study. This was experimental research, so the pretest-posttest design was adopted. The Post-Experimental group (Keywords) showed better performance than the Post-Controlled group. It is recommended that students use a keyword strategy to learn phrasal verbs.
