Abstract
This article explores the pedagogical and methodological foundations of vocabulary instruction through technological tools, presenting a research-informed framework for modern classroom application. By synthesizing foundational theories on cognitive processing, learner autonomy, and language acquisition, the study identifies several essential pillars for effective lexical growth: multimodal input, contextualized exposure, spaced repetition, learner motivation, and learner autonomy. A critical analysis of conventional teaching methods reveals that traditional approaches often rely too heavily on decontextualized memorization and teacher-led delivery. This highlights a pressing need for more integrative, student-centered strategies. In response, the article proposes a cyclical methodological model structured around three interconnected phases: vocabulary input, interactive practice, and systematic consolidation. Rather than treating digital tools as superficial additions, this framework demonstrates how technology can be used purposefully to enhance learner engagement and long-term retention. While the model remains theoretical and awaits empirical validation, it provides a principled roadmap for integrating technology into vocabulary pedagogy. Future research should evaluate its implementation across various educational contexts to test its overall effectiveness.
