9. sınıf İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğrenen öğrencilere kelime öğretiminde quizlet uygulaması

In recent years, numerous innovative tools such as digital and online flashcards have emerged in the education field to meet the needs of digital natives. Therefore, in the present study, it was aimed at investigating the impact of a digital flashcard tool, Quizlet, on vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation improvement of Turkish EFL learners. Besides, learners' perception of using Quizlet was investigated through a semi-structured interview with 26 participants in the Quizlet group. The study was conducted in classes of 9th graders: one of them is a Quizlet group (N=26), and the other one is a regular class (N=26). An experimental mixed methods research design was implemented to gather data. Pre and post-tests were adapted from Laufer and Goldstein (2004) and Webb (2009). The tests were implemented in two groups to evaluate the effectiveness of Quizlet on vocabulary learning and pronunciation. The findings of this research indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the Quizlet group learners' pre and post-test scores. When the Quizlet group and regular class were compared, it was found out that both increased their scores at different rates. The findings of the second part of the study concluded that the Quizlet group learners were the least successful in word stress. Lastly, the results of the interviews supported that more than half of the participants' opinions of using Quizlet were mostly positive. The study concluded with that the teachers should evaluate and try digital tools as learning resources for today's learners as digital natives.
