Abstract

The current study examined the impact of using the internet-based activities on developing grade 4 students’ performance in English vocabulary. In other words, it studied the influence of using internet-based activities on helping grade 4 students to retain and retrieve the words which had previously been learned in different contexts. The participants are 48 students at Al-Zahraa Basic School for Girls in Jordan. The participants were divided into control and experimental groups. Data were collected through using an English vocabulary pretest and posttest. The control group was taught English vocabulary with the help of a conventional method, whereas the experimental group was taught English vocabulary with the help of internet-based activities. The quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed in a mixed method research design by using the paired samples T-Test and the independent samples T-Test. The finding indicated the experimental group’ supreme performance in the English vocabulary test compared to the control group. The study provides pedagogical implications to the teaching of vocabulary in the Jordanian context. It recommended the integration of these activities into the English language curricula.
