Abstract
Vocabulary acquisition is a fundamental component of language proficiency, particularly critical for pre-service teachers who must master extensive linguistic repertoires for effective instruction. In an increasingly digitized educational landscape, the integration of technology-based activities has become a pervasive feature of modern pedagogy. This article systematically examines the impact of technology-enhanced learning activities on the vocabulary acquisition performance of pre-service teachers. Drawing upon a comprehensive review of extant literature, we investigate how various digital tools and platforms contribute to improved vocabulary learning, explore the underlying mechanisms of engagement and motivation fostered by technology, and analyze the perceptions of learners regarding these innovative approaches. The findings suggest that well-designed technology-based activities can significantly enhance vocabulary acquisition by offering interactive, personalized, and engaging learning experiences, thereby equipping future educators with robust linguistic skills essential for their professional careers.
