In response to this challenge, the researcher implemented a novel vocabulary acquisition approach by leveraging information technology, specifically the website wordwall.net, to assist students in expanding their vocabulary during the second semester of the academic year. The aim of this study is to determine if the usage of wordwall.net can improve 45 sixth grade students’ vocabulary mastery. In order to address the issue of vocabulary mastery among students, the researcher conducted Classroom Action Research (CAR) using Kemmis and McTaggart’s design, which comprised four phases: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Tests, observation and interview techniques were used for data collection.
Based on the study findings and discussion, it can be noted that Word Wall considerably enhanced students’ vocabulary mastery. In addition to this, there was an observable upgrade in students’ learning activities, which brought out the effectiveness of wordwall.net in increasing students’ comprehension when learning vocabulary. In addition, researchers have received positive feedback from students regarding the use of the website in their English vocabulary learning process. With promising results, the wordwall.net website should be used by teachers to help students improve their vocabulary.
