This study investigates the effectiveness of using the Rosetta stone software to increase English vocabulary acquisition among fourth preparatory students from Al-Hariri school in Baghdad. Eighty students were selected and divided into an experimental group and a control group, each containing 40 students. The experimental group used Rosetta stone for a period of eight weeks, while the control group received traditional vocabulary instruction. A vocabulary pre-test and post-test were administered. The results showed a significant improvement in the vocabulary scores of the experimental group compared to the control group, suggesting that the Rosetta stone program can be an effective tool for vocabulary enhancement.
