This research examines how contemporary digital
technologies contribute to the enhancement of English vocabulary teaching.
As mobile applications, interactive platforms, multimedia resources, and
online learning environments become increasingly prevalent, technology
serves as a powerful means for improving vocabulary acquisition among
learners. The incorporation of visual, auditory, and contextual materials aids
in a more profound comprehension and retention of new vocabulary, while
gamified applications like Quizlet, Memrise, and Kahoot boost student
motivation and promote autonomy. Furthermore, technology enables access to
authentic language input through resources such as videos, digital
dictionaries, and online corpora, which allow learners to see how vocabulary
is used in real-life communication.
