Integration of technology in explicit instructional strategy vocabulary teaching and learning process become familiar nowadays. This paper proposed a review of current empirical studies on explicit instructional strategy with technology integration and without technology integration in vocabulary teaching and learning to seek the effectiveness of explicit instructional strategy itself and also the effectiveness of technology integration in the strategy. Eighteen past studies reviewed from the online database. Three past studies show that explicit instructional strategy in vocabulary learning assists learners to retain the words successfully and effectively. Meanwhile, with the integration of technology in explicit instructional strategy, vocabulary learning prolongs its effectiveness with added value which makes learners highly motivated and stress - free in order to acquire the vocabulary. The limitations and recommendations for future research also highlighted in this review as a reference to the researchers.
