Abstract

This study explores the impact of technology-enhanced learning tools on vocabulary acquisition among secondary school EFL learners. With the increasing integration of mobile apps, digital games, and multimedia platforms into language education, it is critical to assess how these tools influence students’ vocabulary retention and motivation. A mixed-methods approach was used involving pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and student interviews with 80 learners from three Uzbek secondary schools. Results revealed that technology-supported vocabulary instruction significantly improved word retention and learner engagement. The findings highlight the need for pedagogically grounded digital integration to enhance language outcomes in EFL classrooms.
