Abstract

This study was
conducted to reveal what Memrise, an online vocabulary study tool, can offer to
upper-intermediate EFL learners compared to traditional vocabulary exercises in
L2 vocabulary learning. Two groups of upper-intermediate learners (N=80) were
randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group and were
given the Vocabulary Knowledge Scale, VKS for short, as the pre-test and
post-test. The participants in both groups were exposed to the target
vocabulary items in the same reading text. While those in the experimental
group created list of target vocabulary items collaboratively in Memrise and
then studied the sets individually, the learners in the control group did traditional
vocabulary exercises. The results of the post-tests indicated that there was a
significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in
favor of the experimental group. The researchers discuss possible pedagogical
implications of this significant finding for EFL vocabulary instruction.
