Abstract Vocabulary is a foundational component of English language learning.
however, conventional teaching approaches frequently lack the interactivity needed to sustain student interest.
In response, this study investigates the use of Plemorize, a digital vocabulary notebook application, as a means of increasing student engagement in vocabulary acquisition.
Adopting a qualitative case study approach, the research involved nine seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Bekasi.
Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and digital artifacts, then thematically analyzed using the framework of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement.
Results revealed that students exhibited notable engagement across all three dimensions while using Plemorize.
They reported that the application was not only user-friendly and visually appealing but also supported autonomous learning through features such as vocabulary reminders and customizable study schedules.
These findings suggest that digital vocabulary tools like Plemorize can effectively supplement traditional pedagogy by fostering motivation, personalization, and consistent practice.
The study thus contributes to the field of technology-enhanced language learning by demonstrating how purposefully designed applications can address engagement gaps in vocabulary instruction, offering practical implications for educators seeking to integrate digital resources into their teaching practices.

Vocabulary 1 Vocabulary Knowledge Vocabulary is one component that must be studied when you want to learn the English language both learning English verbally or in This is in accordance with what was said by Kymyr and Ozdemir .
that vocabulary is one of the important knowledge in learning English effectively, both written and spoken.
Therefore, to start learning English, it is necessary to learn about the existing vocabulary.
According to Schmitt and Schmitt .
, to learn the vocabulary needed various techniques and strategies so that learners can choose the right technique or strategy for them to facilitate in vocabulary learning.
There are several principles that can help learners to learn new vocabulary (Schmitt and Schmitt, 1.
C The best way to remember new words is to incorporate them into language that is already known.
C Organized material is easier to learn.
C Words that are very similar should not be taught at the same time.
C Word pairs can be used to learn a great number of words in a short time.
C Knowing a word entails more than just knowing its meaning.
C The deeper the mental processing used when learning a word, the more likely that a student will remember it.
C The act of recalling a word makes it more likely that a learner will be able to recall it again later.
C Learners must pay close attention in order to learn most effectively.
Engagement According to Fredricks et al.
said that Engagement construction that has great potential by components, namely behavioral.
Emotional and Cognitive.
The combination of the three important elements in the process of student learning engagement in the classroom is also conveyed by Li and Lerner .
which says that school involvement is an integrated multidimensional construction to combine behavior, emotional and cognition in understanding the learning process in school.
To be clear, the following will explain three important components that are involved in the Engagement process based on Li and Lerner .
Behavioral Engagement is seen from the activity in the classroom, participation in every learning, attendance, and effort made in homework.
Emotional Engagement is seen from the sincerity of the commitment to obtain broad knowledge, a English Ideas.

define morphology as the study of word structure, specifically examining how words are formed through the combination of Morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in a language, including elements such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots.
Understanding morphological principles can support vocabulary learning by enabling learners to recognize patterns in word formation, deduce meanings, and expand their lexical knowledge systematically.
This foundational understanding may enhance students' engagement and efficiency when using vocabulary-focused applications such as Plemorize, which facilitates organized and meaningful vocabulary acquisition.
Affixes Types of affixes Definition Example Suffix Follows the base -Ful in Event-ful Prefix Precedes the base Un- in Un-happy Infix Occurs inside the base -S - in Cup-s-ful Circumfix Occurs on both sides of the base En- and Aeen in Enlighten Base is a part of a word attached by affix.
For example, in activity, -ity is a suffix compiled on an active basis, which itself consists of ive suffixes and basic act.
Root is a basic word that stands alone which cannot be added to the word affix.
For example like likes, book, etc.

With the aim of increasing the motivation of learners in learning English vocabulary, assisted by using an digital dictionary will facilitate students in increasing their understanding of vocabulary, which will certainly have an impact on overall English mastery The research was carried out in one of the junior high schools in Bekasi.
The population of the study consisted of 34 seventh-grade From this population, nine students were selected randomly as participants, all of whom had access to and regularly used smartphones for learning purposes.
Data Collection Technique Data collection techniques were carried out by conducting observation, participant interviews, artifacts, and photographs (Petty.
Thomson, & Stew, 2.
However, in this research only use used Interview and artifacts to collect the data.
IndividualAos Interview Interviews can assist researchers in getting information about their impressions after conducting learning through applications that are on Android smartphones and the response of students to this learning in the vocabulary learning process that is usually done.
Artifacts To strengthening research evidence, artifacts are also intended to be a continuous learning material for participants because the artifacts will be neatly stored in the application that is already installed on the participants' smartphones (Ronen, 2.
So if at any time the participants want to review the words that have been learned just open the application cause of the continuity of the participantsAo learning is more important.
METHOD
Research Design In this study, researchers used qualitative research through a case study design.
This approach was chosen because qualitative research is highly useful in exploring the possibilities that occur in a study (Hamilton and Finley 2.
Besides, qualitative research can also help researchers to look deeper into a problem to be studied (Tong.
Winkelmayer, & Craig, 2.
With this, researchers can look carefully at the application of learning strategies that we will In this case, researchers use the case study research method which will certainly facilitate all the research processes that the researcher will do.
According to Yin .
, a case study is a research design used to examine existing conditions, particularly when the researcher has minimal control over the events being studied.
Of course, this aligns with the objectives of this research, which are to investigate how Plemorize and vocabulary notebook keeping can engage students in vocabulary learning, and to using Plemorize and maintaining vocabulary notebooks in learning vocabulary.
