2.1 Abstract The main objective of this research study was to increase EFL vocabulary among 26 ninth-year students of Educación General Básica at a public school in the city of Loja from 2021-2022 school year through the use of the mnemonic technique. The researcher used a mixed method. For the quantitative data, a pretest and posttest were applied and the difference of the results were calculated by using the Wilcoxon Test which showed that the difference was statistically significant p≤ 0.05. Therefore, the mnemonic technique for increasing EFL vocabulary proved to be beneficial. On the other hand, a qualitative method was developed where the researcher conducted an interview to explore students’ attitudes towards mnemonic techniques. The implementation of the mnemonic technique to increase EFL vocabulary was effective since the students were able to understand, identify and remember the form, meaning and use of the vocabulary, with specific strategies such as the peg method, rhymes and songs, pictures, or images, the keyword method, and stories. The use of these strategies proved to be useful and interesting and also, students enjoyed the activities that were applied during the development of learning to increase their vocabulary. Keywords: mnemonic technique, vocabulary form, vocabulary meaning, vocabulary use
