Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is an important component in English learning because it supports students' ability to understand and use language effectively. However, many students still struggle to master vocabulary, especially adjectives. Using technology-based learning media, such as the Memrise application, can be an alternative for improving students' vocabulary mastery. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of using the Memrise flashcard application on students' mastery of adjective vocabulary. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pre-test and post-test. The subjects were 35 students of grade XI SAINS 1 at SMA Negeri 2 Mataram in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the treatment and analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-samples t-tests in SPSS. The results showed that the students' average score increased from 80.03 in the pre-test to 92.66 in the post-test. The t-test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant increase in students' mastery of adjective vocabulary after using the Memrise application. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Memrise flashcard application is effective at improving students' mastery of English adjective vocabulary.

Abstract

English vocabulary mastery has undergone significant changes with the emergence of digital technology. This study aims to examine the use of digital tools in English vocabulary learning by students in the English Language Education Study Program at the University of Mataram, focusing on the utilization of various digital tools. This study used a descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through online questionnaires completed by 52 participants and in-depth interviews with 10 purposively selected participants. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis based on the Braun and Clarke (2006) model. The results show that students use various digital tools in an integrated manner, combining social media, learning applications, digital dictionaries, and artificial intelligence (AI) in the vocabulary learning process. This process occurs continuously through the stages of discovering new words, understanding their meanings, and using them in sentences or conversations. Furthermore, the effectiveness of digital materials is evident in the multimodal support provided, such as visual and auditory aids to support understanding of meaning and pronunciation. The study also identified barriers to the use of digital tools, including distractions from non-educational content and technical issues related to internet connection. These findings indicate that the functional effectiveness of digital learning tools is directly related to students' strategies and their independent learning abilities. Theoretical and practical implications for the development of technology-based vocabulary learning are also discussed.

Abstract

This study examines students' perceptions and experiences regarding the use of the Memrise application for English vocabulary learning within the English Education Department at the University of Mataram, utilizing the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a theoretical framework. A mixed-methods design was employed, combining a descriptive quantitative approach with qualitative interviews. Questionnaire data were collected from 38 second-year students who had used Memrise for at least three months, while semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 selected students to gain deeper insight into their experiences. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, whereas qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that students held positive perceptions regarding Memrise's usefulness (mean scores of 3.58–3.95) and ease of use (mean scores of 3.58–4.05). Key benefits identified included vocabulary retention through repetition, pronunciation practice, and learning flexibility. However, students also encountered challenges, such as internet connectivity issues (mean score of 3.53), limitations regarding premium features, and a scarcity of advanced-level vocabulary materials. The study concludes that Memrise is perceived positively as a supportive and flexible vocabulary learning tool, although improvements in accessibility and content variety are needed. This research contributes to the literature on technology-based vocabulary learning and the application of TAM within the context of Indonesian higher education.
