Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of traditional and technological methods in vocabulary acquisition among intermediate-level English learners. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative data from pre-tests, weekly exams, and post-tests with qualitative insights gathered from surveys and interviews. Over a six-week period, 30 students participated in lessons utilizing both traditional teacher-led instruction and technological tools such as mobile apps and digital flashcards. The results revealed that while the traditional group showed steady but moderate improvement, the technological group experienced more rapid and significant gains in vocabulary retention. Interviews with participants highlighted the strengths and challenges of both methods, emphasizing the need for a blended learning approach. This study suggests that combining traditional and technological methods can offer a more comprehensive and effective learning experience, catering to diverse learner preferences and enhancing overall vocabulary retention.
