The first and foremost purpose of this study is to investigate if Website Games can be used as a useful tool for teaching vocabulary and grammar to young learners. The importance of the present study is to explore the effectiveness of using Website Games on developing vocabulary and grammar by Jordanian young learners. Since learning vocabulary and grammar plays a significant role for having good language ability, boosting grammar repertoire and vocabulary growth would improve language ability and help the speaker to have a successful communication.The sample of the study consisted of 48 fourth grade students from Jijjin Secondary School in Irbid, Jordan, during the second semester of the scholastic year 2019/2020. They were already divided into two groups: Group one consisted of (23) students that was chosen as an experimental group and was taught vocabulary and grammar via Website Games technology by the researcher and group two consisted of (25) students, which was assigned as a control group and was taught through regular instruction by the teacher.Students in both groups sat for a vocabulary and grammar tests at the beginning of the first semester of the scholastic year so as to determine their actual knowledge before starting the experiment. Eight weeks later, they sat to a post-test. The results of the study indicated that the experimental group performed better than the control group in the acquisition of vocabulary and grammar due to the new strategy of teaching that is using Website Games.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using WhatsApp on developing fifth grade EFL students’ speaking skill during the first semester of the academic year 2020-2021. To achieve this purpose, the researchers selected carefully a representative sample of 46 male students studying at Jijin Secondary School for Boys. The participants were already divided into two groups; a control group of 21 students and an experimental one of 25 students.This study tended to apply this experiment by using the quasi-experimental method. The instrument was a performance test in a shape of an interview that was used as a pre-test and a post-test. Moreover, this test was used to measure any possible differences between the both groups. The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences between both of the groups and the mean scores, in favor of the experimental one in speaking due to the suggested strategy of using WhatsApp.In the light of the findings, the researchers recommend the necessity of implementing contemporary strategies such as WhatsApp in teaching and learning English speaking skill. Besides, the researchers suggest that further studies should be conducted on the effect of WhatsApp on developing other English language skills and in other language competences.
