This study was carried out to examine the effectiveness of using the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy Plus (VSSPlus) on developing university EFL students’ vocabulary learning. It adopted the quasi experimental design which included two groups design. The participants were first level students at Languages and Translation Department, Arar Faculty of Education and Arts, Northern Border University, KSA. They formed two groups: an experimental group (n = 40) and a control one (n = 40). Both groups were pre-tested by using the pre Vocabulary Achievement Test (VAT) for equivalence in vocabulary prior to the treatment. The researcher taught the experimental group throughout the sessions that based on using the VSSPlus in vocabulary learning and she taught vocabulary to the control group by using the Vocabulary Self-Collection Strategy (VSS). Then, the researcher post tested the two groups by using the post VAT and she used the t-test to calculate the differences between the mean scores of the pre and post VAT. The results revealed that a statistically significant difference was found between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group on the post VAT in favor of the experimental group. The results also showed that a statistically significant difference was found in the mean scores of the experimental group between the pre and post VAT in favor of the post VAT. Therefore, it was concluded that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the post VAT as a result of receiving training on the VSSPlus. It was also concluded that the experimental group performed better on the post VAT than the pre VAT because the VSSPlus helped them develop vocabulary. Some recommendations and suggestions for further research were provided.

The article presents the results of bulls control slaughter, morphological and varietal composition of the pulp of carcasses, depending on the duration of the production cycle and the level of concentrates in the diet. In the gobies of the control group, the total duration of the production cycle was 18 months (546 days), with a specific gravity of concentrates in the rations of 40 % in the experimental group – 16 months (482 days) – 50 %. The suckling period of calves in the control group was 210 days, in the experimental group – 182 days, rearing – 186 and 165 days, respectively, intensive final fattening – 150 and 135 days. The differences obtained both in the pre-slaughter live weight and in the weight of the paired carcass were 1,9 and 3,4 kg, respectively, without a significant difference between the groups. The superiority of bulls of the experimental group over the control group was established according to the leading studied indicators of the morphological composition of carcasses, except the mass of bones, cartilage, and tendons. Differences in the mass of the pulp in favor of the calves of the experimental group were 5,1 kg, the coefficient of meat content was 0,21 units, the ratio of the edible part to the inedible part in the carcass was 0,26 units. All other things being equal, from the bulls of the experimental group, a higher mass of pulp of the highest grade was obtained by 4,9 kg or 2,2 %, of the first grade – by 6,4 kg or 1,8 %. The yield of secondgrade pulp was higher in the carcasses of gobies of the control group by an average of 6,2 kg or 4 %. Thus, both groups of bulls showed high slaughter weight and slaughter yield, with insignificant intergroup differences. However, due to the shorter duration of the production cycle of growing and fattening, it turned out to be preferable to use beef production technology from bull calves of the experimental group.
