Abstract
Vocabulary mastery is a major problem for EFL learners, especially in the active use of
vocabulary in speaking skills. This problem is often caused by teaching materials that are not
practical, less contextual, and do not support independent learning. Therefore, this research
aimed to explore EFL students' perceptions of the use of pocket books in vocabulary and
speaking skills. This study used a qualitative case study design involving 24 students who
are members of the Language Student Activity Unit at universities. Data was collected
through interviews and supported by questionnaire data, then analyzed using an interactive
model. The results of the study show that students view pocket books as a medium that helps
enrich vocabulary and speaking practice. Clear layouts, concise explanations, and ready-to-
use phrases help reduce cognitive burden and support vocabulary memory, fluency, and
student confidence. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on EFL students at the
university level regarding the use of pocket books for vocabulary enrichment and speaking
practice in the context of language learning outside the classroom. The results of this study
show that pocket books have the potential to be an effective supporting learning medium to
improve vocabulary mastery and speaking skills.
