  Abstract

This paper examines the transformative role of Natural Language Processing (NLP) in vocabulary acquisition for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. With advancements in NLP technologies, innovative applications have emerged that foster effective vocabulary learning through personalized and context-rich experiences. The study explores various NLP-driven tools, such as context-aware learning systems, personalized vocabulary lists, and interactive games, that enhance engagement and retention. By analyzing the effectiveness of these tools, this research underscores the limitations of traditional vocabulary teaching methods and illustrates how NLP can provide dynamic, tailored support to meet individual learners’ needs. Furthermore, the paper highlights the significance of real-time feedback mechanisms, such as speech recognition, in promoting accurate pronunciation. Ultimately, this investigation aims to demonstrate that NLP technologies offer a more engaging, efficient, and effective approach to vocabulary acquisition, significantly improving ESL learners’ language proficiency and overall communicative competence.
