Abstract
Foreign language learners want to remember newly learned vocabularies for as long as possible. As demand for learning English as a second language grows, effective ways of memorizing English vocabularies also attract much interest so that various methods and apparatus are developed in order to support effective memorization. In this research, we introduce a new way of memorizing English vocabularies and evaluate the performance compared to an existing qualified method. Our study result shows that learners who memorize English words using our suggested method maintained a higher retention rate than those who studied using the existing method. From this research, we expect to gain new insights of effective way in learning English vocabularies.
