Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of applying English chat on students' English vocabulary mastery through the WhatsApp application. It employs a qualitative research method with a qualitative descriptive design involving 10 students. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The study reveals several impacts on students' English vocabulary mastery as a result of using English chats on WhatsApp, including improvements in word meaning, contextual usage, spelling, pronunciation, and understanding of word forms. However, there is a noted limitation regarding pronunciation development due to the nature of WhatsApp as a communication application, suggesting that face-to-face learning may be more effective in this aspect. Students perceive the impact of using English chats on WhatsApp positively, as they enjoy the learning experience and find teachers responsive to their questions. WhatsApp is regarded as a user-friendly application with potential educational benefits, accessible anytime and anywhere.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of EFL students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in grammar learning after being taught using Quizizz, a digital game-based learning platform. The research employed a quantitative approach with a posttest-only quasi-experimental design. The participants were 60 eighth-grade students from MTs DDI Baru, divided into two groups: an experimental group receiving grammar instruction through Quizizz and a control group taught using conventional methods. A validated motivation questionnaire based on Self-Determination Theory was administered to both groups after the treatment. The results revealed that students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation compared to the control group. These findings suggest that integrating Quizizz into grammar instruction can enhance students’ motivation by providing an interactive, engaging, and learner-centered learning environment. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on gamified learning in EFL contexts, particularly in the affective domain. Recommendations for future research include exploring long-term motivational impacts and comparing various digital learning platforms.
