“…Another study done by Ghalebi, Sadighi, and Bagheri (2020) tries to reveal the significant differences between undergraduate and postgraduate students' usage of vocabulary learning strategies. However, from their research, it can be drawn that there was no significant difference between master and doctorate students in accommodating vocabulary learning strategies.…”

This article is concerned with the investigation of vocabulary learning strategies of beginner students at the first year of tertiary level. Since the students are required to pass General English as a required subject in Indonesian tertiary education, exploring vocabulary strategies attracts more attention from teachers and practitioners. The present study involves 120 non-English major participants in a survey to fill out a 5-likert scale questionnaire consists of four categories: cognitive, metacognitive, memory, and determination strategies. The study reveals that female students dominate all vocabulary strategies compared to male students. The findings of the study might give an insight for English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers and practitioners to consider change and adjustment to their pedagogical practice concerning gender and their vocabulary strategies.

“…Analyzing and summarizing the results, we came to the following conclusions: 1. Vocabulary acquisition should be based on an integrated approach that ensures EFL vocabulary revision in a variety of drills and speaking activities, as well as in interactive, creative tasks aimed not only at mastering the form but also at productive meaningful communication [59,60]. The Discord application allowed us to create an electronic EFL environment where the students got an opportunity to practice their vocabulary skills and to communicate outside the classroom, which was extremely important in the Russian educational context where the number of EFL lessons a week is limited and there is no English-speaking environment.…”

Vocabulary knowledge is a prerequisite for mastering any foreign language. It takes a lot of time and effort to develop English as a foreign language (EFL) vocabulary skills. Efficient ways to facilitate this process should be studied and analyzed. The present study aimed to investigate the role of the Discord application in teaching and learning EFL vocabulary. Discord is a free messenger with support for IP telephony and video conferencing, as well as the possibility to create public and private chats for exchanging text and voice messages. The study relied on pre-test and post-test design to get the necessary data of one experimental and one control group, 80 university students altogether. The results of the pre-test showed no significant difference between the two groups. The experimental group was taught with the help of the Discord application, while the control group was dealing with the traditional educational process, that is, 180 min every week in a classroom with a textbook and no electronic educational resources. Results of the t-test indicated that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group on a researcher-made vocabulary post-test. A post-treatment speaking test was administered—the participants took part in speaking interviews where they were asked to give a short speech on one of the topics studied during the experimental training. The representatives of the experimental group managed to use more vocabulary items per person correctly (pronunciation, lexical combinability, etc.). The findings revealed that the suggested way of using the Discord application may positively influence the acquisition of EFL vocabulary and its further application in speaking. Hence, it is recommended that the Discord application be used as a tool in the EFL vocabulary teaching and learning process to reinforce in-class tasks and activities.

“…Accordingly, the use of technology-enhanced language learning (TELL) tools in English language learning has become common as they can improve knowledge retention and increase engagement. Ghalebi et al (2020) believed that learners could gain a large amount of vocabulary through vocabulary learning strategies.…”

In-depth research on reading comprehension receives less attention in basic education, despite the fact that the problem is just as critical, if not more so, in this pandemic era. This study aims to learn the dynamics of reading comprehension to draw a conclusion on the phenomenon. Terry (2022) observed a strong connection between vocabulary and reading comprehension. However, meager studies have correlated two variables – Internet Literacy (IV) and Vocabulary Level (DV) – with combined implications for Reading Comprehension. With the globalization of online learning, urban demography's visibility was catered with 83 Senior High School students as respondents. The data revealed a low correlation. Generally, the high mean for online literacy and high mean in the performed evaluation showed the participants' awareness of how to use the digital side of learning and a decent vocabulary level. Null Hypothesis II was accepted in this research. Interestingly, this low correlation could be affected by the students' internal and external strategies, which created an impetus for their reading comprehension aside from digital utilization.
