USING DIGITAL FLASHCARDS TO ENHANCE ENGLISH VOCABULARY RETENTION FOR SECONDARY STUDENTS

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using digital flashcards in enhancing English vocabulary retention among secondary students at Tuyen Quang School for Excellence. Adopting an action research approach, the study employed a pre-test and post-test design with the integration of digital flashcards via platforms such as Quizlet. Students in the experimental group were exposed to systematic vocabulary practice using digital flashcards over a four-week period, while the control group followed traditional vocabulary learning methods. The findings revealed that the students who used digital flashcards showed a significant improvement in vocabulary retention compared to their counterparts. The results underscore the pedagogical value of incorporating digital flashcards into English language teaching and suggest that such tools can serve as an effective strategy to support vocabulary acquisition among secondary learners.
