Employing an action research allows for an assessment of the activities’ effectiveness on students’ vocabulary retention and their perceptions towards these interventions. The implementation of Wordwall.net activities is anticipated to improve students' vocabulary retention. Observation, questionnaires, and tests serve as instruments in conducting this study. Despite the study's limitation, encompassing a group of 38 students, the initial findings after the eight-week intervention shows promising results.
Students exhibit improved output, and their positive responses and eagerness for adjustments provide encouraging feedback. The implementation of supplementary activities aimed at enhancing vocabulary retention is envisioned to not only benefit the students but also offer insights into effective vocabulary teaching and learning methods. Consequently, the findings of this study are anticipated to inspire further research into vocabulary retention strategies. Even though the research is conducted over a relatively short duration, its results provide a foundation for further studies.
The thorough data analysis and finding discussion are beneficial to potential future research with the goal of making a larger contribution to English vocabulary retention. 1H TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION. Họ 000000080ii ABSTTIR AC TT,. HH 000000 01 00 004080010 Hi TABLE OF CONNTIETNÏTS.
