The twenty-first century is a century of information technology, globalization, global political, economic, religious and cultural integration. In this regard, English is the language of the whole world, and the number of English language learners is also increasing. English teachers have also been looking for teaching methods that are suitable for modern learners for many years. In this line, the current research work is aimed to identify the effectiveness of the interval repetition method on EFL learners’ vocabulary learning and compare the results of students using the interval repetition method and the traditional method in individual learning. In the research work, quantitative and qualitative methods were used, and an experiment was conducted. The study was conducted with the samples selected from 34 students both female and male gender. As a result of the study, there was a positive result in learning new vocabulary using the method of interval repetition among EFL learners in individual lessons, and an increase in the progress of learning the language among learners. The article shows that using this method is much more effective than learning new words using the traditional method. As a result of the study revealed the effectiveness of the interval repetition method in learning new vocabulary, the author recommended English teachers use this method in the teaching process.
