Provide details of the activity you undertook.
-During the module, I got knowledge through video lectures about vocabulary and technology.
Then, there were reflection and quizze part to check understanding and sharing experience with
vocabulary teaching. Discussion was shown as a great activity that people could share
experiences and discuss about using technology for vocabulary teaching.
What were your intended learning outcomes of the activity?
-My expectation was to exhance my knowledge, skills and techniques in using technology in
vocabulary teaching as vocabulary is one of the essential part of teaching. Applying technology
effectively is a great way to help the lesson become easier to teach and study.
Cognitive reflection: describes new knowledge and skills you have learned
What goals were met after learning this module?
-After the module, teachers could use technology in vocabulary teaching effectively, familiarized
the aspects of world knowledge beyond basic meaning and explored new technology resources like
COCA and Lingro that could help in teaching.
What goals were not met and why?

and learner. This information was easy to look for and understand, therefore, all goals were
successfully met.

Affective reflection– describes how you feel from the experience
What were some of the strengths you have developed after learning this module?
- Through the module, I have significantly exenhanced ability to integrate technology in lesson
planning. Moreover, I also could improve understanding of student engagement strategies and
vocabularies.
Describe how the module contents contributed to the development of your values and beliefs.
- The module reinforced my belief in the importance of adapting teaching methods to
incorporate technology and meet students' diverse learning needs. Since learners are usually
active (especially young learners), games, songs and other technology tools are useful to teach
vocabulary.
Process – reflects on the steps taken in the process
Is there anything you would you like to change about this module?
- Since the module talked about using technology in warm-up and during-lesson activities, the
self-study system should also be discussed. The activities also be given through homework.
What did you find to be the most difficult part of this module? Why?
-The part of using social media to teach vocabulary is the most difficult part for me. As we
know, social media is the place where people can post anything. While the potential for
engagement is high, I found it difficult to identify specific strategies and best practices for using
platforms in a way that truly enhances vocabulary acquisition rather than just being a distraction.
What did find to be the best part of this module? Why?
- The best part was the exploration of technology tools. Discovering how they can enhance
vocabulary teaching was both inspiring and motivating, providing me with concrete resources to
use in practice.
