Abstract

This work explores the use of flashcards as an effective tool for vocabulary acquisition, with a specific focus on the integration of visual arts. The effectiveness of flashcards in facilitating vocabulary learning is highlighted, emphasizing their simplicity, interactivity, and customizability to individual needs. The benefits of flashcards include promoting active retrieval practice, enhancing memory retention, and supporting systematic vocabulary practice. Additionally, their portability enables learners to incorporate vocabulary learning into their daily routines. The integration of visual arts in flashcards is discussed as an additional technique to enhance contextual understanding and memory retrieval. Several studies conducted in, and outside Malaysia are cited to support the effectiveness of flashcards and visual arts integration in vocabulary learning. Overall, this literature writing underscores the value of flashcards and their potential to enhance vocabulary acquisition in language learning settings.
