Abstract

The participatory method is a well-established strategy approved by researchers and is regarded as essential for teaching English as a second language. The Memrise application is employed as a supplementary learning tool to make English classes engaging and captivating. Consequently, the objective of this research is to assess whether a significant disparity exists in vocabulary improvement between two Junior High School classes when using the Participatory Approach and Memrise. The research methodology applied here is quantitative, utilizing a comparative design comprising pre-tests and post-tests. Both classes are under the instruction of the same teacher (the researcher), but they employ different teaching methods. The 7A class is instructed through the participatory approach combined with the Memrise application, while the other class is taught using the conventional homeroom teacher method. Notably, both classes demonstrated improved vocabulary, but the 7A class exhibited a notably higher level of enhancement compared to the 7B class. Moreover, the results indicate a significant discrepancy in vocabulary enhancement between students taught using the participatory approach and the Memrise application versus other methods  which is shown through the average increase of the 7A class is 90% and the average increase of the 7B class is 39%. To summarize, the findings underscore the effectiveness of the Participatory Approach and Memrise in facilitating vocabulary enrichment and enhancement among students.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of collaborative game-based learning (GBL) and digital integration on vocabulary acquisition among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. It investigates how interactive digital games, coupled with collaborative activities, enhance students' vocabulary retention and usage. Data was collected through qualitative data collection via online interviews on Google Meet and Zoom with 12 participants, the research reveals that students benefit from the social aspect of game-based learning, where collaboration with peers promotes active vocabulary use and real-time feedback. The study reveals that increased student engagement and motivation play a central role in enhancing vocabulary acquisition. Participants shared that the interactive and competitive nature of game-based learning (GBL) actively encouraged them to engage in vocabulary practice, making learning more enjoyable and dynamic. The findings highlight how game-based learning facilitates vocabulary acquisition through increased engagement and motivation. Collaborative and interactive learning fosters cognitive development and long-term retention.The real-time feedback provided by GBL helped students retain and apply new vocabulary over time. The collaborative aspect of GBL also emerged as a key factor in vocabulary learning, with students benefiting from peer interaction and shared knowledge in game-based environments. This collaboration fostered deeper understanding and allowed students to use vocabulary in meaningful contexts. Furthermore, personalized learning through digital tools was highly appreciated by participants, as adaptive features of digital platforms enabled them to learn at their own pace and tailor their learning experience to their individual needs, reinforcing vocabulary mastery. Overall, the study suggests that integrating GBL and digital tools not only aids vocabulary acquisition but also creates a more engaging, interactive, and personalized learning experience. These findings highlight the potential of incorporating these strategies into language instruction to strengthen vocabulary learning, provide real-world application opportunities, and advance overall language proficiency.
