    Flashcards are among the most widely used pedagogical tools in the teaching and learning process due to their ability to facilitate the acquisition, practice, and retention of vocabulary. This didactic material has proven to be especially useful for learning, as it allows students to learn in a more dynamic and active way through this resource, strengthening the retention of new words and their application in different contexts. Vocabulary learning is essential in the teaching of English as a foreign language, although some students have difficulties in retaining and using new words due to a lack of motivating visual strategies. The objective of this work is to strengthen the use of flashcards to improve the acquisition and retention of vocabulary in English. A quantitative approach with a descriptive, pre-experimental design methodology was used, with a sample of 13 students which were assessed using pre-tests and post-tests, for data collection, a checklist with a Likert scale was applied in two observation times (pre-test and post-test). The results showed a significant improvement between the initial and final assessments, as well as increased interest, concentration, and participation. It is concluded that educational worksheets are an effective strategy that promotes motivation and learning, contributing to language development
