    (Universidad Andrés Bello, 2013) Arellano Fuentes, Blanca; Véliz Campos, Mauricio; Facultad de Humanidades y Educación
    This study attempts to uncover the benefits of Collaborative Learning methodology on students' lexical and grammatical vocabulary acquisition. To this end, a quantitative design was applied in order to observe, numerically speaking, the impact of collaborative work on vocabulary acquisition. For this aim, pre and posttests were applied to two groups of students, control and experimental groups, in order to prove if there is any difference in students' vocabulary acquisition after the implementation of Collaborative Learning methodology systematically. It was found that, even though the students from the school where this study is conducted were mostly taught under a direct, teacher-centered approach, they shown a significant improvement in their acquisition and identification of lexical and grammatical vocabulary as well as in their vocabulary related abilities ( discrimination and identification). As mentioned earlier, this study follows a quantitative method, however, it is recommended to implement a mix method for future research in order to interview and know students' opinions towards their preferences about various teaching methodologies and learning styles.
