Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Duolingo as a technology-based approach to enhance the learning motivation and vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMP Islam YUHA Cempaka Putih. Employing a quantitative method, the research adopted a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. A purposive sample of 22 students participated in the study. Data were collected using a vocabulary test and a motivation questionnaire, both administered before and after the treatment. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ motivation, with mean scores rising from 17.09 (pre-test) to 33.50 (post-test). Similarly, vocabulary mastery scores improved from 38.86 to 68.64. A paired sample t-test confirmed the significance of these results (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These findings demonstrate that Duolingo is an effective technological tool to improve students’ motivation and vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of YouTube videos in improving students’ vocabulary memorization skills. Conducted at MA Manba’ul Ulum, the research employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught using an animated YouTube listening video and a control group taught using traditional methods. The sample consisted of 30 tenth-grade students divided equally into two groups. Data were collected through pre-tests, treatments, post-tests, and student perception questionnaires. Results revealed significant improvement in the experimental group, with mean scores rising from 49.67 in the pre-test to 86.67 in the post-test, compared to the control group’s increase from 49.33 to 60.53. Gain score analysis showed a normalized gain of 0.74 (high) for the experimental group and 0.22 (low) for the control group. Independent samples t-test confirmed a significant difference (p < 0.05). These findings support multimedia learning theory, demonstrating that YouTube’s visual-auditory content effectively enhances vocabulary retention and student engagement.
