QUIZLET'S IMPACTS ON EMI STUDENTS' VOCABULARY MASTERY AND LESSON COMPREHENSION AT HANOI UNIVERSITY OF INDUSTRY: A STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

English as a medium of instruction (EMI) has become increasingly popular in
higher education institutions worldwide, including Vietnam. However, many EMI
students face challenges in understanding lesson content due to limited
vocabulary knowledge. In recent years, digital tools such as Quizlet have been
introduced as a potential solution to improve vocabulary mastery. This study aims
to investigate the effectiveness of Quizlet in enhancing vocabulary mastery and
understanding of lesson content for EMI students at the School of Languages and
Tourism, Hanoi University of Industry, as perceived by the students themselves. A
quantitative approach was employed, with over 70 students participating in the
study through a questionnaire. The results show that Quizlet is perceived as an
effective tool for vocabulary learning and understanding lesson content, with
positive responses towards Quizlet usage, vocabulary mastery, and understanding
of lesson content. The study suggests that Quizlet can be used as a valuable
supplement to EMI teaching and learning, and provides insights for further
research on the effectiveness of digital tools in EMI context.
