This comparative research examines vocabulary development using a text based approach while evaluating the impacts of limited context compared to extended context methods. Utilizing time-series analysis and a quasi-experimental approach, the research centers on high school students within a high school setting, highlighting its practical significance. Due to the emphasis on quantitative methodology, it is crucial to systematically collect and analyze numerical data in a methodical manner. The findings reveal an intriguing trend, indicating the potential effectiveness of the extended context technique, aligning with established concepts in the language learning literature. Despite the lack of statistical significance, the better mean vocabulary retention scores in the expanded context group highlight the need to go beyond strict statistical limits. The conclusions drawn from these results have important ramifications for instructional design and upcoming language education research. The extended context technique may be beneficial, which is why it is encouraged for educators to think about including it in resources for language learning. The awareness of this potential highlights the need for continual professional development for language teachers and the integration of contextual learning into language curriculum. These suggestions pave the way for a more dynamic and interesting language-learning experience and promote a culture of ongoing improvement in education.
