Abstract
The current study aims at examining the effect of using crossword puzzles on vocabulary acquisition - the case of adjectives-, at Abed El Madjid Saoudi secondary school in Ain Fakroun. An experimental design is carried out to answer the research question and to examine the stated hypotheses. The thirty chosen participants were assigned to two groups of fifteen (15). A pre-test was administered to both groups. The experimental group was taught using the crossword puzzles, whereas the control group was taught using the traditional method of teaching. After the treatment period that was eight sessions, both groups received a post-test. In the light of these results, the research hypothesis is accepted. Therefore, the crossword puzzles are an effective and efficient tool in teaching foreign language's vocabulary especially adjectives.
