Technology has revolutionized online education systems, offering exciting prospects worldwide. Teaching has changed greatly since the technology was introduced. Higher education institutions have actively adopted technology into their instructional procedures, while basic schools remain wary. Despite modern technology and fast internet in many Malaysian schools, many still lack equipment and use it inefficiently. This study explores fourth graders' views on using Quizlet to improve their English as a second language vocabulary. This research investigated twelve primary school pupils. The teacher taught vocabulary using Quizlet. Interviews with small cohorts of students, one-on-one interviews, classroom observation, and document review provided data. The study used Burnard's analytical methods to assess participants' views on Quizlet's impact on English vocabulary learning. The participants liked Quizlet for language learning. Quizlet was liked by users for its many benefits. This study emphasizes the need for technology integration training for instructors, especially ESL teachers, to improve students' vocabulary learning. Quizlet is a technology application that improves vocabulary, especially for English learners.
