概要 This paper was written to research and advocate the use of English word cards with regard to vocabulary acquisition and English productive and receptive competency. Also, student perceptions of using and making word cards will be examined to show the importance of including a word card policy in an ESL classroom. Despite all the positive research done on word cards, it is surprising how many Japanese ESL students do not utilize word cards in their English studies. For this research, 108 students from two Japanese Universities were surveyed on their usage of word cards, many of which have just started using word cards. The results show that students have a positive perception towards using word cards and feel word cards increase their test scores, confidence and motivation to learn English.
