Mobile applications are increasingly important tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Vocabulary acquisition is essential, yet learners often struggle to retain new words. This study examines the effectiveness of mobile apps in improving EFL learners’ vocabulary. Thirty EFL learners participated in a two-week pre-test/post-test study using Quizlet and Memrise. Vocabulary knowledge was measured before and after the intervention, and a short questionnaire assessed learners’ attitudes toward mobile-assisted learning. Results showed a significant increase in vocabulary scores, and most participants reported positive experiences, highlighting motivation and engagement. In conclusion, mobile applications effectively support vocabulary acquisition, and integrating them into language teaching can enhance learning outcomes in EFL contexts.
