Spaced repetition as a basic structural method for organizing English as a second language teaching

In this increasingly globalized world, where language proficiency is integral to success, the spaced repetition method is gaining crucial importance in English as a Second Language (ESL) teaching. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of spaced repetition as a foundational method for ESL teaching, focusing on optimizing the language learning process. Using the Duolingo program and interval repetition, the research confirms the method’s effectiveness in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition. Participants experienced significant improvements in vocabulary retention compared to conventional teaching methods, regardless of their initial language proficiency levels. The method showed consistent efficacy across proficiency levels, with a 25% increase in word memorization for those using spaced repetition. This highlights the method’s importance, especially in mobile applications, paving the way for innovative educational technologies. The method not only motivates students but also enhances academic engagement and progress, fostering a conducive learning environment. The study makes a substantial contribution to ESL teaching, offering empirical evidence on the effectiveness of spaced repetition. The findings provided valuable insights for educational app and platform developers, guiding the creation of cutting-edge technologies to enhance language learning. Future research should explore larger and more diverse student samples to ensure broader generalizability of results.
