Abstract
This study revolves around the idea of how best to engage students with vocabulary instruction and if Gimkit is the best way to do so. Students have struggled to stay engaged post COVID pandemic, and in recent years, students writing and reading skills have decreased and a portion of that is their lack of vocabulary and the inability to stay engaged with it. The purpose of this study is to better understand how Gimkit engages 8th grade students with vocabulary. This decrease in skills prompts the question how can Gimkit increase student engagement with vocabulary? The participants in this study are 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA) students who were selected with convenient sampling. This study is an action research study that utilizes mix of qualitative and quantitative data. Possible participants were sent home with a consent and ascent form to complete with their parents or guardians and return.
