Nemeth, Katalin2019-07-192020-01-012019https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/33603To date, several studies have investigated the potential benefits of using Quizlet and podcasts for vocabulary development, however, they have mainly focused on the use of teacher-created material, its effects on receptive vocabulary acquisition and students’ motivation, and relatively little has been done to study the effects of student-generated podcasts and Quizlet study sets on second language vocabulary acquisition including productive skills. Hence, the present study seeks to analyze and compare how student-created podcasts and Quizlet flashcards affect vocabulary retention, taking into account both receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge. The participants in the study were 22 adult students, age 18-61. The instruments used in this research were pre-tests to check students’ prior knowledge, immediate post-tests to measure receptive and productive vocabulary acquisition and a questionnaire to gauge students’ perceptions of the two methods. Results showed that a lthough there was no major difference between the two methods regarding receptive or productive vocabulary acquisition, and both techniques helped students to retain new vocabulary, participants expressed a greater preference for the Quizlet methodology.application/pdfengQuizletPodcastsVocabulary developmentinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis2019-07-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
