Abstract

The current research article was basically carried out to reveal the effectiveness of vocabulary awareness in developing the writing skills of undergraduate engineering students. The investigation was conducted at Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. The investigation began with selecting 120 students of Computer Science Engineering who arelearning English Language communication skillsin their third year first semester (2018-19) in Advanced Communication Skills Lab. The teacher to conduct the research had split the students equally into two groups. The two groups were regarded as one experimental group. The quantitative and experimental methods were used deciding on the pre and post-test as the main instrument to obtain the data which was tried out on the experimental group.
