Technology has become pivotal in education, emphasizing the importance of English proficiency and a robust vocabulary. This study assesses how vocabulary acquisition, particularly in a sample of 15 students, is impacted by the use of the Memrise application. Employing a quantitative approach and a pre-experimental design with one-group pre-tests and post-tests, the researchers utilized SPSS software for data analysis. The significance test yielded a 2-tailed Sig. Value of 0.890, above the significance limit of 0.05. With the t-test value (1.829) below the t-table value (2.145), it indicates no discernible effect post-app use. The null hypothesis (H0) is accepted, rejecting the alternative hypothesis (Ha), suggesting the Memrise app alone may not enhance vocabulary acquisition. This underscores the necessity for careful evaluation and comprehensive assessment of educational technologies to optimize their efficacy in bolstering students' vocabulary development.
