Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental component of English language learning, yet students often struggle to retain newly learned words when taught through conventional instructional methods. Although various digital technologies have been integrated into vocabulary instruction, limited research has examined the effectiveness of combining traditional crossword puzzles with the Quizizz platform to create an engaging mobile-assisted learning experience. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using Quizizz-based crossword games in improving students’ English vocabulary mastery. A pre-experimental quantitative design with cluster random sampling was employed to measure students’ vocabulary achievement before and after the treatment. The findings indicate that students’ post-test performance exceeded their pre-test performance, with mean scores increasing from 92.81 to 98.55 after participating in Quizizz-based crossword activities. Statistical analysis further demonstrated a significant improvement in vocabulary achievement following the intervention, indicating that the treatment positively influenced students’ learning outcomes. These findings suggest that integrating crossword games into the Quizizz platform provides an interactive and motivating learning environment that enhances vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, Quizizz-based crossword games can be considered an effective digital instructional strategy for supporting English vocabulary learning in classroom contexts.

Abstract

Song lyrics can function as literary materials in English Language Education when learners interpret meaning through observable textual evidence. This analysis examines figurative language, moral foundations, and text-based relation in three songs from The Greatest Showman soundtrack, namely “A Million Dreams,” “Rewrite the Stars,” and “This Is Me.” The data consist of 153 analyzable lyric lines from archived Spotify lyric displays. Using descriptive qualitative content analysis, each line was coded separately for figurative language and moral foundations before relation analysis was conducted. The findings show 101 figurative language occurrences, with metaphor as the dominant type. The findings also show 79 moral foundation occurrences, with loyalty as the dominant foundation. Relation analysis identifies 48 lines where figurative wording expresses, clarifies, or reinforces moral foundations. The analysis shows that lyric interpretation becomes more evidence-based when each claim moves from textual signal to category indicator and then to textual evidence. The findings support evidence-based lyric interpretation for English Language Education by providing a structured procedure that teachers can adapt for EFL reading activities, where students identify figurative expressions, examine textual meanings, and justify interpretations with evidence from lyric lines.
