Ensuring that students are "engaged" in learning is a key concern for instructors across many fields. With regards to vocabulary in language learning, teachers should provide students with tasks which promote high levels of motivation and resultant engagement. The recent trend of online systems which have dynamic, collaborative, and even competitive style approaches can potentially take students to new levels of physical and psychological engagement in and out of the classroom. Despite newfound enthusiasm for such systems, there is currently little data regarding student engagement in using such systems when compared to textbooks or other more traditional paper-version approaches. Recent survey data from 131 Japanese university students on the use of a vocabulary learning system (Quizlet, http://quizlet.com) was collected. Findings unsurprisingly showed a clear improvement in the overall engagement of students through using an online system to learn vocabulary. However, a great deal more research is needed to ensure that such engagement amongst students actually leads to better learning and acquisition of words compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.
