Abstract

English-speaking ability is an essential skill for EFL students to communicate effectively; however, many students face challenges such as limited vocabulary, lack of motivation, and low self-confidence. Therefore, the study "EFL Students’ Perception in Using Duolingo for Developing Speaking Ability" aims to analyze students' perceptions of using Duolingo to improve their speaking skills, focusing on how the application's features assist in speaking development and its effectiveness in English language learning at senior high schools in the Greater Jakarta area. This research using quantitative method, with data collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 25% of 187 randomly selected students. The results indicate that students have a positive perception of Duolingo due to features such as a reward system, learning reminders, and game-based multimedia content, which enhance motivation, confidence, learning flexibility, and active participation in speaking. However, challenges such as limited vocabulary and fear of making mistakes still persist, suggesting that while Duolingo is an effective learning tool, its use should be supplemented with conventional teaching methods for optimal improvement in English-speaking skills.

Abstract

Tempeh, a traditional Indonesian fermented soybean product, is highly nutritious but under-consumed by children due to its bland appearance and unfamiliar texture. This community service program aimed to enhance elementary school students’ interest in consuming tempeh through a participatory training that introduced character molds into the tempeh-making process. Conducted with 20 students aged 9–11 years, the intervention employed a pretest-posttest design to assess changes in tempeh preferences, knowledge, and willingness to consume and prepare tempeh. Results indicated significant improvements across all indicators: students’ liking of tempeh increased from 35% to 85%, their perception of its visual appeal rose from 25% to 90%, and willingness to try character-shaped tempeh reached 95%. The program not only improved students’ understanding of tempeh’s nutritional benefits but also engaged them in creative, hands-on food preparation that enhanced motivation and enjoyment. The findings support the use of experiential learning and visual food design in child nutrition education. This initiative effectively combined cultural food preservation with innovative teaching strategies. It demonstrates that integrating fun and creativity into traditional food education can promote healthier eating habits and strengthen local food identity among young learners. Future programs should consider scaling up and incorporating family and school-level involvement to achieve a broader and more sustainable impact.
