The use of technology in learning English vocabulary for academic purposes (EAP) aims to enhance learners’ academic vocabulary knowledge and provide access to a wide range of educational content, as it creates valuable and flexible learning conditions. The present study was conducted with the aim of expanding learners’ vocabulary range through the use of Quizlet at Cambridge International School in Iran, employing a mixed-methods approach at the international school and the Embassy of Pakistan College in Tehran, affiliated with the University of Cambridge. Seventy students from medical and business disciplines at levels O1, O2, O3, and A2 were trained to use the Quizlet application in specialized language classes to improve their vocabulary. A questionnaire, interviews, pre-tests, and post-tests were used to collect data. The research findings indicated a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results, and students expressed satisfaction with the use of technology in their classes, as it facilitated the learning process and increased efficiency. The use of this application as a technological tool provided students with the opportunity to select relevant learning strategies and apply them in their language production, particularly in writing specialized texts. Additionally, such instruction received positive feedback from learners and led to greater collaboration among them. Therefore, language instructors at Cambridge schools should emphasize academic vocabulary in schools, and this emphasis should be sustained throughout learners’ education.
