Abstract: Language acquisition begins in childhood and continues until death. Many believe learning a second language is essential for career success. Because students rarely experience the target language in its natural situation, learning vocabulary, sentence structures, and pronunciation is difficult. These issues influence students and teachers. Thus, acquiring a second language and developing vocabulary are conscious choices that require continual education, evaluation, and feedback. Spaced cycles can be integrated into conventional teaching methods and improve learning by requiring more resources. The spaced repetition system (SRS) is an old method, but it works well for languages where vocabulary development is the major goal. Ebbinghaus (2013) is the only source of reliable data on the strategy, which dates back to the Vedic era in India. Leitner's flashcards help students learn a language by allowing regular study and improvement. Modern, high-tech vocabulary development tools are available. This study examines how engineering students might actively absorb terminology through spaced repetition.
