Epecialized vocabulary development through the use of the spaced repetition technique

Abstract

The present work aims to improve the specific vocabulary of English by developing a system of activities based on the technique of spaced repetition. It was developed from a quantitative methodological perspective, with an experimental design working with fifth-semester students of the Clinical Psychology career at the Technical University of Machala. During the research, theoretical-level methods were considered, likewise, empirical-level methods pedagogical tests, and evaluation rubrics were used as research instruments. Previously, a hypothesis was formulated, where after the application of the intervention proposal, it was possible to verify and obtain significant results that surpassed the initial ones in their evaluation indicators, which suggests that this technique is highly effective in achieving long-lasting retention.
