Abstract

This quasi-experimental research examined the impact of the Quizlet application on students’ English vocabulary mastery at SMPN 3 Praya Tengah, a rural junior high school located in Central Lombok, Indonesia. The study was conducted in response to students’ limited vocabulary knowledge and the insufficient use of interactive digital learning tools. Thirty seventh-grade students participated and were assigned to experimental and control groups. A 30-item vocabulary test focusing on the topic “Personality and Skills” was administered as both pre-test and post-test. The experimental group underwent five instructional sessions utilizing Quizlet’s interactive modes Flashcards, Learn, Match, and Test while the control group received conventional instruction. The test instrument was validated by expert reviewers, and its reliability coefficient, measured through Cronbach’s Alpha, was 0.87, indicating high internal consistency. Data were processed using SPSS 26, including tests of normality, homogeneity, and an independent samples t-test. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups (t(28) = 3.57, p = 0.002, d = 0.80), resulting in the rejection of the null hypothesis (H?) and acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H?). These findings demonstrate that Quizlet effectively enhances students’ vocabulary mastery, learning motivation, and autonomy. The results also align with retrieval practice and gamification theories, confirming that Quizlet can serve as an effective digital medium for improving vocabulary acquisition, especially in rural educational settings with limited access to technology This suggests Quizlet can be integrated into junior high school curricula to promote autonomous vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies employed by English teachers in teaching vocabulary to first-grade students at Elementary School 3 Karang Bongkot, West Lombok, during the academic year 2024/2025. The study aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers and describe the effective strategies used to overcome these challenges. The method of this research was qualitative research. The subject is an English teacher of SDN 3 Karang Bongkotwho taught the first grade. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal several challenges, including classroom management, diversity of students’ mother tongue, and limited teaching facilities or media. To overcome these barriers, the teacher applied the Total Physical Response (TPR) through songs and games supported with translation, memorization, and visual aids like printed pictures. These approaches successfully increased student participation, maintained focus, and created a more enjoyable learning atmosphere. The study concludes that effective vocabulary learning for young learners depends on the teacher’s creativity in combining methods, techniques, and media suited to children’s characteristics.
