Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Task-Based Learning (TBLT) integrated with web applications in improving Grade 3 students’ vocabulary achievement. The major objectives were: (1) to compare the students’ vocabulary achievement, and (2) to explore the students’ satisfaction toward the instructional method. The participants were 12 Grade 3 students from Bannongsang (Lai-Utid) Primary School, Prachinburi Primary Educational Service Area Office 2, during the second semester of the 2025 academic year. The research employed a one-group pre-test-post-test design with 8 lesson plans (16 hours) based on the TBLT framework: pre-task using Quizlet for vocabulary review, task cycle with Nearpod interactive activities, and post-task reflection and application. Research instruments included a 30-item vocabulary test (IOC=0.50-1.00, KR-20=0.9604) and an 11-item satisfaction questionnaire validated through IOC on a five-point Likert scale.
The results of the research showed that the mean pre-test score (12.33) increased to 20.25 in the post-test with a statistically significant difference at the .05 level using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The finding showed very high satisfaction (x̅=4.72), highlighting engaging activities and the usefulness of web applications. In conclusion, TBLT supported by Quizlet and Nearpod effectively enhanced vocabulary learning, motivation, and digital literacy, suggesting its potential as an innovative approach for English instruction at the primary level.
