In this course, Study Stack was implemented as an intentional vocabulary learning tool for use in a vocabulary
learning task, which required the students to choose at least five words from each weekly lesson to create their own
digital flashcards for vocabulary learning. A 30-minute self-study session was set aside for the students to log into
their personal accounts of Study Stack for task completion on a weekly basis for a duration of four weeks. The
flashcard content should contain aspects of word knowledge, with the form and part of speech of each vocabulary
item on one side of a flashcard, and its meaning on the other (i.e. L1 translation and L2 usage in the form of
collocations or sentences). The completion of this vocabulary learning task accounted for 20 percent of the course
grade. The students were also encouraged to practice their digital flashcards as a means to review the course
content out of class.
