Mastering vocabulary is one of the utmost essential skills needed for a second language learner. However, acquiring vocabulary has its own challenges as most students have perceptions that it is difficult and complicated. This perception is related to the degree of difficulties of the vocabulary component itself. Thus, implementing interactive liveworksheets could overcome this problem. Hence, the purpose of this research is to identify the effectiveness of learners’ achievement and explore students’ perceptions and attitude in acquiring the vocabulary via implementing interactive liveworksheets in English lesson. .The outcomes of this paper would also assist teachers in innovating their teaching material from paper to paperless in order to help their students grab more vocabulary.The study is based on mixed method case study. There were 14 upper primary learners who took part in the study. The data were collected through pre and post-test, Likert scale questionnaires and classroom observation. The most significant finding identified in the study, implementation of interactive liveworksheets enhanced the meaning and spelling but not for correct use within context and different grammatical forms of words. Moreover, positive perceptions and attitude indicate the learners are comfortable, eager and willing to use interactive liveworksheets in English lessons as it boosts their confidence and motivation. Further studies are recommended to explore in depth on the effectiveness of interactive liveworksheets in enhancing the correct use of words within context and to diversify the learning materials including listening and speaking activity via interactive liveworksheets.
