Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine whether the Duolingo application can enhance the English vocabulary of grade VIII students at SMPN 1 Sindue Tombusabora. This research focused on teaching concrete nouns and action verbs, including their spelling, meaning, and use in sentences. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving two classes: an experimental class (VIII C) and a control class (VIII A), each consisting of 20 students selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using pretests and posttests to measure changes in vocabulary knowledge before and after the intervention. The experimental class utilized the Duolingo application, while the control class did not receive this treatment. After the posttest, the researcher used statistical analysis to evaluate whether there was a significant difference between the two classes. Based on the data analysis tests, the mean pretest score for the experimental class was 30.62, compared to 35.97 for the control class. After administering the treatment, the mean score on the posttest for the experimental class was 66.45, which is significantly higher than the mean score of 36.96 for the control class. Using a significance level of 0.05, the researcher found that the calculated t-value of 7.50 exceeded the t-value of 1.687 from the t-table. It indicates that the hypothesis was accepted. In other words, grade VIII students at SMPN 1 Sindue Tombusabora can increase their English vocabulary by using the Duolingo application.

Abstract

This study focuses on the effectiveness of using the Duolingo application in teaching vocabulary to grade XI. This study used a quasi-experimental design with two classes: experimental and control. The experimental class received treatment using Duolingo media, while the control class was taught using conventional media. Pre-tests and post-tests were used to assess improvements in students’ vocabulary. The results of the study indicate that the use of the Duolingo application is effective and can improve students’ vocabulary, as evidenced by the average score of the experimental class increasing from 78.10 to 95.5. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference between the two classes (p<0.05), indicating that the use of the Duolingo application is effective in teaching vocabulary. In addition, the findings reveal that students in the experimental class demonstrated higher levels of engagement, motivation, and confidence when learning new vocabulary through the application. The interactive features of Duolingo, such as gamification and immediate feedback, contributed to a more meaningful learning experience. These advantages suggest that mobile-based language learning tools like Duolingo can play a significant role in enhancing language acquisition in formal educational settings. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers consider integrating technology-enhanced instructional media to complement traditional teaching methods in order to maximize students’ outcomes in vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This research aimed to identify and describe the psychological factors affecting the speaking performance of third-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design using a survey method with 100 randomly selected respondents. The instruments used were adapted from standardized scales: the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale, the Speaking Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics through SPSS version 25, focusing on frequencies, percentages, and mean scores. The results revealed that students experienced a high level of anxiety (M = 3.13) and low self-confidence (M = 2.03), both of which served as psychological barriers in speaking English. Conversely, students demonstrated high motivation (M = 3.53) and positive attitudes (M = 3.59) toward English-speaking activities, which acted as psychological strengths enhancing engagement and persistence in learning. Overall, these findings suggest that emotional and motivational factors significantly influence students’ speaking performance. Therefore, it is recommended that lecturers foster a supportive learning environment that reduces anxiety, enhances confidence, and maintains students’ motivation and positive attitudes toward English learning.

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of limited vocabulary mastery among grade X students at MAN Insan Cendekia Kota Palu, which hampers their ability to communicate effectively in English. The objective was to determine whether the use of picture cards as a teaching medium could significantly improve students’ vocabulary mastery. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught with picture cards and a control group taught with conventional methods. The sample consisted of 46 students, selected randomly and divided equally into experimental and control classes. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analysed using a t-test. The findings revealed that the experimental group’s mean score increased from 62.48 in the pre-test to 81.91 in the post-test, while the control group only improved from 58.09 to 65.87. The t-counted value (4.38) exceeded the t-table value (1.681) at the 0.05 significance level, confirming that picture cards had a significant positive effect on vocabulary mastery. Beyond score improvement, students in the experimental class also showed greater participation and motivation during learning activities. These findings suggest that visual media, particularly picture cards, can be effectively integrated into EFL classrooms to foster engagement and enhance vocabulary learning outcomes on a broader scale.

Abstract

Many junior high school students experience difficulty actively using English vocabulary in authentic communication, and their level of learning motivation may contribute to this difficulty. This study aimed to examine the correlation between English learning motivation and daily vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Palu. A quantitative correlational research design was employed. The population consisted of 131 students, and 50 students were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring intrinsic, extrinsic, integrative, and instrumental motivation, and a 20-item multiple-choice test assessing daily vocabulary mastery. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation analysis due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed that students’ motivation was generally high (M = 77.04), and their daily vocabulary mastery was at a good level (M = 74.20). A very strong, statistically significant positive correlation was found between the two variables (r = 0.876, p < 0.01). These findings indicate that higher motivation is strongly associated with better daily vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Students at SMAN 1 Bulagi Selatan experienced difficulties in speaking English fluently due to limited vocabulary, lack of confidence, and insufficient opportunities to practice speaking. This research aims to examine whether the use of cartoon films can improve students’ English speaking fluency. The research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest and posttest approach. The sample consisted of 19 tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Bulagi Selatan. Data were collected through speaking tests administered before and after the treatment. The treatment involved the use of cartoon films in interactive speaking activities such as discussions, role plays, and storytelling. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking fluency, as indicated by the increase in the mean score from 40.79 in the pretest to 69.74 in the posttest. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test revealed a significance value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. These findings suggest that cartoon films can be used as an instructional medium to improve students’ speaking fluency. The use of cartoon films may also support students’ confidence and participation during speaking activities.

Abstract

Students’ limited vocabulary mastery remains a challenge in learning English at the junior high school level. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using flashcards in improving the vocabulary mastery of Grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 7 Palu. This research applied a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of 58 students, including 29 students in the experimental class (VIII F) and 29 students in the control class (VIII E). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test to measure students’ vocabulary mastery before and after the treatment. The results of descriptive statistics showed that the mean score of the experimental group increased from 76.03 in the pre-test to 84.66 in the post-test, while the control group increased from 71.38 to 76.03. The normality test indicated that the data were not normally distributed. Therefore, the Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the post-test scores between the experimental and control groups. The result showed that the significance value (Asymp. Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.047, which is lower than 0.05. This indicates that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the use of flashcards is effective in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. The use of flashcards may also support a more engaging learning process.
