This study aims to improve the vocabulary mastery of the seventh-grade students
through digital flashcards at SMP Negeri 20 Palu. This research applied a
quasiexperimental research design with a non-equivalent control group. The
population of this study consisted of 106 students from classes VII A, VII B, VII C,
and VII D. The samples were class VII A as the experimental group and class VII B
as the control group, selected by cluster random sampling. The researcher
administered pre-tests and post-tests during data collection. The results showed that
the mean score of the experimental group on the post-test (72.00) was higher than
that of the control group (56.13). This was confirmed by calculations using SPSS
version 25, where the significance value (p = 0.000) was smaller than the
significance level of 0.05. It indicates that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is
accepted. These findings suggest that digital flashcards are an effective medium for
improving students’ vocabulary mastery in English language teaching
