Abstract
This research aims to produce a Korean vocabulary mobile application by applying the technique of spaced repetition together with hypotheses regarding the frequency of the occurrence of words and the learning achievement in recalling words and their meanings. Thus, the mentioned application was used by Korean Language for Communication I students with the aim of achieving results in memorizing Korean vocabulary and meanings. This research is divided into 2 phases: in the first phase, the researcher developed a Korean vocabulary mobile application and collected the data by employing a questionnaire on the opinions of 62 people about the application. In the initial stage of the research analysis, the overall average opinion of the sample group was 4.45 (strongly agree). In the second stage, after classroom study, the researcher administered a pre-test on vocabulary recall and meaning to a sample group of 21 people using a mobile application for Korean vocabulary. The vocabulary errors made by the sample group were recorded individually.
The sample was then divided into two groups. Group 1, consisting of 11 people, used a Korean vocabulary mobile application to review vocabulary mistakes after class daily. Group 2, consisting of 10 people, did not use the Korean vocabulary mobile application for reviewing vocabulary mistakes after class. Seven days after the initial test, the researcher administered a second vocabulary and meaning test (post-test), which included the vocabulary errors from the first test for each individual. Using SPSS and the Paired Sample T-Test to compare the average accuracy in recalling vocabulary and meanings between Group 1 and Group 2, it was found that Group 1 (90.96%) had a significantly higher accuracy than Group 2 (57.39%) (Sig = 0.031, P<0.05). This indicates that using the Korean vocabulary mobile application after class for reviewing vocabulary significantly improved the ability to recall Korean vocabulary and meanings.
