A PRACTICAL STUDY ON DESIGNING PRIMARY-LEVEL CHINESE VOCABULARY TEACHING ACTIVITIES USING THE QUIZLET PLATFORM
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study explores the effectiveness of using the Quizlet platform in primary-level Chinese vocabulary instruction. A comparative experiment with pre- and post-tests, surveys, and observations showed that Quizlet significantly improved students’ vocabulary retention, motivation, and engagement. The instructional design, grounded in constructivist and multiple intelligences theory, effectively leveraged Quizlet’s visual and interactive features. The results suggest that Quizlet is a practical tool for enhancing vocabulary learning in primary Chinese language classrooms.
