This study aims to determine whether the use of Wordwall can enrich junior high students’ vocabulary acquisition. This study used a pre-experiment research design. A total of 40 students who were in class 8C at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Pontianak were taken as the research sample by using cluster random sampling technique. The instruments of this research were pre-test and post-test. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The calculation of effect size obtained was 3.50 which shows a strong effect. Meanwhile, the results of data analysis showed that the t-test value for vocabulary was 5.31 and the t-table was 2.024. This means that the t-test is greater than the t-table or 5.31 > 2.074. The calculation implies that alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Wordwall can enrich students' vocabulary and is suggested to be used in the teaching and learning process.
