ABSTRACT

The ubiquity and advancement of technology have given a positive impact on the elevation of education quality, including Foreign Language (FL) vocabulary learning. Among all types of educational technology, the literature has highlighted the merits of using Quizlet to assist the process of teaching and learning FL vocabulary. However, the extent to which the use of this particular learning media has benefits or challenges remains under-reviewed in the last decade. This paper reports on the opportunities and challenges of using Quizlet to learn foreign language vocabulary. The articles reviewed were selected from scientific journals published in 2016-2021 in the Google Scholar database. PRISMA diagram was employed to obtain the relevant articles. The results of the analysis of twenty articles revealed that Quizlet could be a useful means for assisting the students’ vocabulary learning process, resulting in a better learning outcome. This was supported by the interesting features suitable for accomplishing various learning activities. The existence of Quizlet could be a good alternative for streamlining students’ language learning process outside of classroom learning. However, it was noted that the loss of internet connection was the main challenge. This paper ends with a recommendation for future research to explore the use of Quizlet in a more comprehensive manner in the foreign language learning and teaching context.
