Outcomes of using quizlet flashcard websites in teaching and learning vocabulary to improve vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension of undergraduate students in a private university in Nakhon Pathom province
Abstract:
Quizlet is a flashcard website that allows learners to create study sets and learn vocabulary by themselves. Moreover, it is believed that vocabulary knowledge could be directly related to reading comprehension. Therefore, this study aimed to compare students English vocabulary knowledge and their reading comprehension before and after using Quizlet including their satisfaction. The participants were the 30 students who enrolled in English II during the second semester of the 2020 academic year at a private university in Nakhon Pathom province. The instruments used were: 1) the vocabulary pre-test and post-test; 2) the reading comprehension pre-test and post-test; and 3) the satisfaction level of the students through questionnaire. The data were statistically analyzed through a Paired T-test to determine the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test, also, in identifying the differences between the means. The results revealed that: 1) the mean scores of the post-test were significantly higher than the pre-test, at p< .05; and 2) the students satisfaction using the Quizlet was high with the average of 4.24. Based on the findings, students were able to remember more words from the vocabulary list with the help of Quizlet and got high scores in reading comprehension. Additionally, the results indicated that the participants preferred using Quizlet as their learning tool helping them to improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension
