Results showed a significant improvement in vocabulary knowledge in the experimental group (25% increase) compared to the control group (10% increase). Qualitative feedback highlighted increased engagement and relevance. The findings underscore the necessity of integrating a language exercise system in teacher training programs to better prepare educators for effective vocabulary instruction in their future classrooms.
