Investigating the effectiveness of implementing the Wordwall platform in teaching vocabulary to non-English majored students at NTTU

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using the Wordwall platform for teaching vocabulary to non-majored students at Nguyen Tat Thanh University. A total of 200 participants were assigned to the experimental group (n=100) and test group (n=100) for a pretest-posttest design, followed by a questionnaire at the end of the study. The study was conducted over three two-week periods, during which the test group engaged in vocabulary learning activities on the Wordwall platform, while the control group utilized traditional learning methods. Vocabulary proficiency was assessed through pretest and posttest evaluations. The results revealed that students using Wordwall showed greater improvements in vocabulary learning compared to those using conventional methods. Additionally, the use of Wordwall not only enhanced students' ability to learn new words, but also fostered higher levels of engagement and motivation. These results suggest that integrating the Wordwall platform into English vocabulary instruction could significantly improve learning outcomes for non-English majored students at Nguyen Tat Thanh University.
