چکیده:
The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of computer-mediated interaction and face-to-face oral interaction on the recognitionand production of vocabulary by Iranian learners of English. To this end,128 male and female high and low proficiency level learners of Englishparticipated in the study. Recognition and production of target wordswere assessed by receptive and productive, oral and written measures.Four independent two-way ANOVA procedures were used to analysethe data. Results showed that the computer-mediated interaction group atboth levels (advanced & elementary) outperformed the face-to-face oralinteraction group on both written and oral vocabulary recognition andproduction tests. It also turned out that although the low-proficiencylevel learners' written vocabulary recognition was affected by computer-mediated interaction more than that of the high-proficiency levellearners, the latter experienced greater gains in written vocabularyproduction. The findings show that Computer-mediated interaction canbe advantageous to vocabulary teaching and learning.

"Oral Interaction in Vocabulary Recognition and Production Abbas Ali Zarei Imam Khomeini International University, Qazvin & Mehdi Dadebiglo Islamic Azad University, Takestan Branch Abstract Key Words: 134 The Viability of Computer-Mediated Interaction and Face to… Introduction The essence of the 'Interaction Hypothesis' is that when L2 learners negotiate meaning, the conditions for second language acquisition are considerably enhanced because, according to Long (1996), one of the most important ways in which learners receive data for language processing is 'interaction'.
IJAL, Vol. 11, No. 2, September 2008 135 4- Is there any significant difference between the effect of interaction type on high & low proficiency level learners’ written vocabulary production?
Data Analysis After the required data were collected, four independent 2-way ANOVA procedures were used to compare the performance of the two groups 146 The Viability of Computer-Mediated Interaction and Face to… (CM and Oral) at two levels of advanced and elementary on the recognition and production of English vocabulary.

Some of the findings of the present study are in line with previous findings (Blake, 2000; Tozcu & Coady, 2004), which indicate that task- based CMC causes negotiation of meaning, and that this negotiation appears to facilitate vocabulary recognition and production of learners."
