Abstract

Visual Vocabulary is an application used to learn English vocabulary. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of the Visual Vocabulary application on the development of vocabulary learning in English. The study was carried out using a quasiexperimental design with a population of 19 10th EGB students from the Unidad Educativa "Madre Gertrudis" in the city of Cevallos. This research has a duration of three weeks with one session through the zoom platform and the other sessions were carried out in a face-to-face environment. The data collection was carried out through the application of a pre-test and a post-test extracted from Pearson A1 (Test your vocabulary) where in the first results an average of 6.34 was obtained. Then, the experiment was applied to the students with the use of the Visual Vocabulary application in vocabulary teaching where they acquired and reinforced their knowledge through practice with the use of flashcards with different vocabulary topics present in the mobile app. Once the sessions were over, the students took the post-test, resulting in a score of 8.65 out of 10. These results show the progress of 2.31, therefore, it is concluded that the use of the Visual Vocabulary application had a significant influence on students' vocabulary learning.
