Abstract

Spaced Repetition have been used as a strategy in teaching phrasal verbs for secondary school students. It helps the students of all ages to remember what they have studied in classroom. This strategy helps the students to keep their memory active all the time and make them save a big amount of information in order to use it when they need. This strategy can be considered as a revision to what they learn before. The present study aims to find out the effect of using spaced repetition strategy (hence for: SRS) on teaching phrasal verbs for Iraqi secondary school students and they can get benefits from this strategy by: 1. Finding out whether there is any significant difference between the students' achievement of the experimental group and that of the control group in English phrasal verbs in the posttest. 2.
