A methodology for enhancing english vocabulary acquisition through digital platforms such as quizlet and kahoot

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a core component of English language learning and plays a crucial role in the development of learners’ communicative competence. With the rapid advancement of educational technologies, digital platforms have become increasingly important in language instruction. This study aims to develop and evaluate an effective methodology for enhancing English vocabulary acquisition through digital platforms such as Quizlet and Kahoot. An experimental research design was employed involving primary-level English learners divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, questionnaires, and classroom observations. The findings reveal that learners exposed to Quizlet and Kahoot demonstrated higher vocabulary retention, increased motivation, and greater classroom engagement compared to those taught using traditional methods. The study concludes that integrating gamified digital platforms into vocabulary instruction significantly improves learning outcomes and provides practical methodological implications for English language teachers.
