Abstract

This study aims to conduct a need analysis on the implementation of web-based vocabulary teaching for junior high school students. The research investigates two main questions: (1) What are the characteristics of web-based vocabulary teaching for junior high school? (2) What are the needs of web-based vocabulary teaching for junior high school? Data was collected through a combination of literature review and interviews with two teachers and two students from SMPN 12 Kota Cirebon. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, identifying key themes related to the characteristics and needs of web-based vocabulary instruction. The findings highlight that effective web-based vocabulary teaching involves multimedia resources, interactive platforms, and personalized learning experiences. Additionally, the study identifies the need for adequate technology access, teacher training, and user-friendly platforms to successfully implement web-based vocabulary teaching. This research provides valuable insights for educators and policymakers in enhancing vocabulary instruction through digital tools, ensuring that web-based learning meets the needs of both students and teachers in junior high school settings.
