This study investigates the effectiveness of mobile applications such as Duolingo and Memrise in vocabulary acquisition among language learners. With the rapid advancement of digital technology, mobile-assisted language learning has emerged as a significant component of modern education. The paper focuses on how these applications facilitate vocabulary learning through spaced repetition, gamification, and multimodal input, while also promoting learner autonomy. The findings suggest that mobile applications, when combined with traditional classroom instruction, can significantly enhance learners’ vocabulary knowledge and overall language proficiency.
