This research aims to examine students’ views on the Rosetta stone app as a
means of improving their knowledge of English Vocabulary. In the research,
qualitative methods were chosen, and a Narrative Inquiry framework was taken, with
semi-structured interviews being the principal method used to gather data. This
research included five students majoring in English Education, who used a Rosetta
stone for more than four weeks. Following the in-depth interviews, the listener
responses were transcribed, and then analyzed thematically to see the common
experiences in vocabulary learning. Most of the participants considered Rosetta Stone
to be successful in helping them build their vocabulary. Features including visual and
audio stimuli, spaced repetition, and an easy-to-use design were widely considered to
be very beneficial by the participants. In participants answers, it was shown that they
remembered more vocabulary words and became more assured in real-world situations.
In contrast, participants recognized a number of shortcomings, such as the redundancy
of the exercises and insufficient contextual support for grammar among those at an
advanced level. According to the findings, Rosetta Stone is a useful extra tool for
increasing vocabulary, especially at the beginning level. Findings from this research
can contribute to better development of mobile based language learning applications
that are both effective and appealing.
