4.5.3.6 Issues of reliability and validity:

The type of testing used in the 3 studies was translation. Using translation as a testing tool with regard to vocabulary knowledge refers to the conceptual meaning of vocabulary knowledge. The type of translation used here is factual written testing which is intended primarily to convey information with precision from books and magazines (Picken[5], 1983). As a testing measure, translation requires the learners to use their linguistic competence in the target language requiring precise use of the vocabulary though it is difficult to find exact equivalence in the target language depending on the type of input the learners receive in the target language (Hismanoglu[6], 1990). This type of testing is valid for the research questions this paper is studying as vocabulary recall and vocabulary errors are primarily sought.

4.6.Issues of reliability:

The studies conducted in this research involved three groups of learners; two of them are studying English for general purposes within two different levels (Intermediate and Advanced) and the other group is studying English for specific purposes (Electrical and Mechanical Engineering). The results were almost similar supporting the effective influenc of using content videos in reducing intralingual and interlingual vocabulary errors ((This section will differ depending on your chosen approach. Quantitative designs have very specific guidelines for reliability and validity. Read up on these and mention how you will deal with reliability [equivalence, consistency and stability] and validity [face, content, criterion and construct validity]. Qualitative designs focus on credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability (1- 2 paragraphs)
