Description
Summary:The implementation of technology-based didactic resources has significantly enhanced English vocabulary at early stages while developing language skills at the same time. Through the use of interactive teaching methods, students are exposed to platforms and websites which deepens their comprehension of the language via gamification. By using a quasi-experimental research framework, this study focuses on a quantitative approach to evaluate kids' knowledge of basic vocabulary after following a two-week treatment that incorporates games on platforms. The control group was organized by children at the same grade level as the experimentalt group, which included twenty-six Initial level students from Unidad Educativa Vigotsky in the city of Riobamba. A significant difference was observed between the pretest and posttest scores of the Intervention Group (IG). The brief synthesis below presents the most important conclusions in the following manner: The pretest IG scores showed (M=4,23, SD=2,06) compared to the posttest IG scores (M=8,50, SD=1,50). Therefore, it has been shown that using online resources increase vocabulary in EFL (English as a Foreign Language), boosting innovation and dynamic teaching methods due to the availability of visual aids to assist learning.
