The research work group consists of 233 students studying at a secondary school in Istanbul in the 2018-2019 educational year. Quantitative data of the research was obtained by the personal information form and the Attitude Scale to Improve the Word Being. In the analysis of the data, the t test, one-way (One way) Anova test was used. The Scheffe test was used as a complementary post-hoc analysis to determine the differences after the Anova test. In this study, the attitudes of high school students to develop their word existence have focused on the relationship between them with variables such as gender, school types, education and material level of the family, whether or not they use social media tools. Students’ attitude to word learning, vocabulary use, and vocabulary development points differ significantly by age, class level, library at home and vocabulary use; parents and parents’ education level, brothers and sisters, parents’ profession, family’s monthly income and school type do not differ significantly. In light of these findings, recommendations were made to increase the attitudes of high school students towards improving their speech existence.
