To 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. [--]
