Active Learning and Learner Development with Quizlet: An Action Research Project Hougham, Daniel ダニエル, ホフム active Learning quizlet application/pdf It is well known that the acquisition of English vocabulary is a crucial challenge for many learners (Beglar and Hunt, 2005), particularly in EFL teaching contexts such as Japan where learner motivation is often low. This study looks indirectly at the effectiveness of Quizlet, aiming specifically to confirm whether the use of Quizlet activities, Quizlet Live in particular, can help students develop positive feelings towards learning English vocabulary. Taking an action research approach, the study looks at students’ perceptions of using Quizlet in two action research cycles, as well as their actual use of Quizlet activities. In cycle one, quantitative and qualitative data were collected via mid- and end-ofsemester questionnaires and Quizlet usage logs. In cycle two, qualitative data were collected via group interviews and quantitative data were collected via vocabulary quizzes. Results confirmed that Quizlet Live helps students develop positive feelings towards learning English. The data also revealed that students think Match and Flashcards are the most useful Quizlet activities, and making your own study sets and using them actively is the most advisable course of action. Suggestions for future research include investigating how Quizlet Live can be adapted or extended to make it even more collaborative, fun, and effective. 広島女学院大学国際教養学部 2019-03-30 eng departmental bulletin paper VoR https://hju.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/626 2188-465X 広島女学院大学国際教養学部紀要 6 15 35 https://hju.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/626/files/kokusai6hougham.pdf application/pdf 2.7 MB 2023-03-02
