Abstract
This study investigates the long-term effects of gamified learning applications on vocabulary retention among adult English learners. Over a 12-month period, participants utilized mobile applications featuring spaced repetition and reward systems. Results demonstrate a 40% increase in retention compared to traditional rote learning methods, though grammatical accuracy showed negligible improvement.
