ABSTRACT

This study aimed to examine lexical awareness: A descriptive study was used to see how explicit vocabulary-related education might boost academic writing in undergraduate learners studying English as a foreign language. SPSS software was used to analyze and verify the data. According to the data, learners' vocabulary is insufficient in-depth and size for academic writing. Furthermore, EFL teachers do not provide students with a choice of reading materials to help them learn vocabulary. According to the findings of the study, EFL teachers should emphasize the importance of vocabulary. Additionally, teachers should encourage students to access the internet, interact, and read native text resources. Additionally, I advocated that the Sudanese English curriculum be integrated into academic writing. Sudanese education policy should promote the study of English for educational purposes rather than for communicative purposes. A questionnaire and vocabulary-building activities were used in the study to determine whether literature is beneficial for vocabulary acquisition. The findings of the study revealed that the EFL subjects gained a positive increase in their vocabulary because of the existing curriculum. EFL teachers should employ innovative methods to instill vocabulary acquisition in the hearts and minds of EFL students to foster a love of reading sections among themselves.
