Abstract

Rise of technological tools and the COVID-19 pandemic, technology has become an important part of daily life, including teaching and learning activities. The use of innovative tools in teaching grammar and vocabulary has been a controversial issue for a long time. The urgent need for such instructional tools has made it a significant part of language learning classes. Regarding these needs, the study focused on innovative instructional grammar and vocabulary teaching tools in English language teaching settings. The study's main purpose was to investigate the differences between the setting where innovative instructional tools for grammar and vocabulary teaching were used and the setting in which only traditional methodologies were used to teach grammar and vocabulary. The study took place in a public university in Türkiye and 76 major beginner-level students participated in the study. The study was a quantitative study which has a pre-test and post-test design and a comparison of control and experimental groups. Results suggested a significant difference in vocabulary and grammar achievement between two groups.
