Resumen

This qualitative study investigated the potential of the Wordwall platform to foster vocabulary acquisition and enhance the learning experience for A2-level students. The research explored how teachers utilize digital platforms and strategies to support vocabulary development and examined the impact of Wordwall on student motivation and learning outcomes. To gather data, researchers administered online questionnaires to teachers and surveys with open-ended questions to students. This approach gave an in-depth understanding of teachers' instructional practices and students' perceptions of Wordwall. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and qualitative methods to identify key themes and patterns. The findings revealed that teachers actively employed Wordwall to design diverse and engaging vocabulary activities. Students reported increased motivation and active participation in these activities individually and collaboratively. The research suggests that the Wordwall platform may contribute to increased vocabulary knowledge and a more enjoyable learning experience for A2-level students. This highlights the potential of Wordwall as a valuable tool for vocabulary instruction in EFL contexts.
