This study investigated the impact of technology on students’ achievement in English vocabulary in Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State. 1The study adopted the survey research design. Three senior secondary schools were randomly selected from 12 public senior secondary schools in Odeda Local Government Area of Ogun State. Fifty SS II students were randomly selected from each school making a total number of 150 SS II students. A questionnaire on the Impact of Technology on Achievement in English Vocabulary (r=0.76) was used for data collection. The instrument was validated by experts in Language Education. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentage scores, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics of t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed among others that there was no significant difference between the level of impact of technology on male and female students' achievement in English vocabulary (t = -.411; df=148; p>0.05). Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that English language teachers should create a friendly and supportive environment that will allow technology to be properly used in teaching English vocabulary
