Abstract: The objective of this study was to examine whether there was a significant difference in the vocabulary achievement of second-year baccalaureate students at Badr High School between those who were taught using the context clues strategy and those who were not. The research employed a nonequivalent control group design. To assess the difference in vocabulary achievement between the experimental and control groups, an independent samples t-test was conducted. The results indicated that the obtained t-value (6.55) exceeded the critical t-value (3.32) at the 0.007 significance level, with a two-tailed test and df = 42. This statistically significant difference suggests that the students who were taught using the context clues strategy demonstrated better vocabulary achievement compared to those who were not taught using this method.
