Abstract
The aim of this review article is to assess the use of “Quizlet” as a supplementary web 2.0 tool for vocabulary acquisition in English language settings. To our knowledge there is a dearth of research that thoroughly examines the use of Quizlet. To this end, this paper demonstrates the results of a systematic review of the literature regarding vocabulary acquisition through Quizlet. 25 studies from the ERIC and Web of Science databases, all published in academic journals within the past four years, were analyzed to identify their key concerns and offer an updated understanding of vocabulary acquisition. The scope of this review paper is the topic, research design, and main findings of the studies. The main findings reveal that Quizlet has a positive effect on retaining new vocabulary, expanding students’ vocabulary knowledge, their motivation, their willingness to the course, and teachers’ and students’ attitudes. Based on the main findings, recommendations for further research are also provided, considering the limitations of the reviewed studies.
