Multimedia resources and English vocabulary among middle basic education students at a public institution in Loja, school year 2023-2024

English vocabulary is a fundamental skill that enriches the ability to communicate more effectively. That is why it is necessary to apply strategies that help to learn in a dynamic way and taking this into account is that the aim of this study is to improve English vocabulary by using multimedia resources among middle basic education students in a public institution of Loja, school year 2023-2024. The study used a mixed method approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods for data collection using an action research design through the following instruments: pre-test, post-test (for quantitative data); questionnaires and field notes (for qualitative data). These instruments were applied to 30 fifth grade middle basic education students. A descriptive analysis was used for the analysis of the quantitative data, while a thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data in order to carry out the triangulation of the instruments. A significant improvement was observed between the pre-test and post-test results, with a difference of 4.86 points. Thus, the implementation of multimedia resources (images, songs and videos) in combination with the vocabulary indicators (form, meaning and use) was welcomed in the classroom. In conclusion, it can be said that multimedia resources were tools that help to improve vocabulary learning in a very attractive and motivating way for the students.
