Abstract:
This systematic review was conducted to provide inspiration on the development of a learning model for vocabulary learning via the use of pictorials, as well as the omissions and gaps in the synthesized literature on the topic, especially with regards to the use of such a model for remote learning. The significance of this particular study lies in the affirmation of whether this pictorial-based vocabulary learning model is a viable solution for the necessity of remote learning. There are a total of three research questions, which are (1) What are the benefits of developing a pictorial-based vocabulary model for learning vocabulary? (2) What are the challenges in the integration and application of digital technology for remote learning and learning enhancement? and (3) How effective is using pictorial elements in enhancing students’ learning of vocabulary? Two main databases – ResearchGate and Scopus – were explored for data collection. A total of 16 studies of relevance to the topic of investigation were retained for further analysis out of more than 50 studies after the strict process of removing duplicates and scrutinizing the abstracts for a suitable level of relevance. To account for the derivation of the various themes under this review, the method of a thematic analysis was preferred. The emerging themes being analyzed are: (1) The Development of a Pictorial-Based Learning Model for Vocabulary Learning (2) The Integration and Application of Digital Technology for Remote Learning and Learning Enhancement (3) The Effectiveness of Using Pictorial Elements on Enhancing Students’ Learning of Vocabulary.
