Vokker
Vokker is an online vocabulary trainer which uses the system of index cards. Vocabulary of many different languages such as English, French, Spanish or Arabic can be practiced. The website is free and can be accessed after having created an account.
Due to the index system vocabulary are learned accurately and difficult ones get its necessary attention by a frequent repetition. In the beginng all items of vocabulary are arranged on the same level. Once the student knows the correct word it gets into the next "level". If the learner types in a wrong word it will get back into the first "level".
Moreover, there are different approaches to different vocabulary fields. The student can either learn new vocabulary by categories or just type in the new vocabulary, he learned at school, for practice. The vocabulary can now either be paired by a drag and drop function or simply be written down on a blank line.

Reflection
In my opinion Vokker offers a really good opportunity to practice vocabulary with the help of an online tool. Nowadays, the internet is getting more and more important and omnipresent in classrooms and in pupils´ private lives. Therefore I could imagine that students are more enthusiastic and motivated by the possibility of learning vocabulary with Vokker instead of repeating them over and over with traditional index cards. Moreover, I like the feature vokkerMobile. You can download Vokker to your mobile and thus be able to work with it everywhere you have access to the internet. You can practice vocabulary while waiting at a bus stop or while sitting in a waiting room.
All in all, I would definitely introduce and recommend Vokker to my students as I think that it could help them to practice items of vocabulary in an easy, gripping and more interesting way.
