A Comparative Study of Technology-based Vocabulary Teaching in ELT between Pakistan and Türkiye

This study investigates the perceptions of English instructors on the use of technology-based educational platforms, such as Kahoot, Quizlet, and Quizalize, for teaching English vocabulary at the tertiary level in Pakistan and Türkiye. The research context is framed by the 2017 Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries, aiming to establish common educational policies in higher education. The study employed a qualitative research design, utilizing convenient and snowball sampling methods to collect primary data. The results revealed that English instructors in both countries viewed these platforms positively for vocabulary instruction despite of a lack of an integrated curriculum for their effective implementation. The research also identified both commonalities and differences in the teaching practices and educational approaches of instructors in these two nations. It was concluded by offering several recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for a more structured approach to integrating technology in language education.
