Abstract
This study aimed 1) to develop a web-based application, 2) to enhance students’ vocabulary knowledge, and 3) to investigate the students’ autonomous learning skill. To serve those purposes, the present study was employed quasi-experimental research in the form of one group pre/posttest design with quantitative data analyses. The participants were 62 first-year of 2022 academic year students at University of Phayao who enrolled a general education course on “001103 English for Daily Life”. The research instruments were the developed web-based application, the pre/posttest, the formative tests, and the questionnaire. The gained data were statistically analyzed through Means (), Standard Deviation (S.D.), and the efficiency criteria E1 / E2 =80/80
The result revealed that the developed web-based application was efficient at 82.85 /88.17. It was found that the students being taught by using the web app gained higher posttest mean scores than the pretest mean scores with statistical significance at the .01 level. It was also found that the students learned English vocabulary through developed web-based application with a high level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation which can indicate the students’ autonomous learning behavior.
