Abstract
Vocabulary acquisition is a dynamic process that involves acquiring and understanding words to effectively comprehend and communicate language. While children naturally learn many words indirectly, numerous words require direct instruction. Marzano and Pickering (2005) introduced the Six-Step Model, which provides a concise process for introducing and reinforcing new words to students. This model involves steps such as describing words, restating them, and incorporating visual aids. Additionally, activities, discussions, and games are utilized to engage students and provide multiple exposures to the new vocabulary. Yet, in recent times, the utilization of technology has become increasingly influential in the realm of vocabulary acquisition and learning. This media review focuses on the website application “Vocabulary.com” for learning and teaching English language vocabulary. The review is presented in three sections: (1) a general description of Vocabulary.com, (2) an evaluation of the application based on the criteria provided, and (3) some general recommendations for language teachers.
