Abstract
When learners encounter unknown words while reading a text in or out of class, they usually think they will not be able to understand it and answer the questions related to that text. To understand how the words my students do not know affect their comprehension of the texts out of their coursebook, I initiated a study with my pre-intermediate university prep class. I also wanted to see if they can learn and remember the words through the reading texts. The participants read four different texts from online sources when the second module finished (15th week) underlining unknown words and answering the comprehension question. The texts were read again together in class with a focus on vocabulary. Three weeks later the same texts were given and the students were asked to answer the same questions. The results show that there is a little improvement in learning words and answering more comprehension questions.
