Abstract

This research refers to the phenomenon that occurs in the world of education in a pandemic situation. The author uses the object of research in class X-Banking students in the second semester of SMK Yapalis Krian for the academic year 2021/2022. The research sample was taken through the data of individual student assignments using the purposive sumpling method to select the object to be studied. In addition, students who will be studied tend to have low interest in participating in online learning. The purpose of this study was to obtain clear information about students' errors in learning Direct and Indirect speech in the sentence using qualitative descriptive methods. At the data collection stage, the author uses data triangulation methods such as observation checklists, documentation and open-ended interviews.The results showed that students made mistakes by being influenced by two factors that students tended to experience during direct and indirect learning, namely the lack of student interest in learning methods. This results in students often not participating in online learning. Furthermore, the most common errors found in students are grammatical errors.

Abstract

General Background: Listening is a core receptive skill in English language learning and remains challenging for EFL learners due to limited exposure, time constraints, and difficulties in processing spoken language. Specific Background: At SMA Negeri 1 Bangil, short instructional hours and the absence of varied digital media have constrained students’ mastery of listening, particularly in understanding procedure texts. Knowledge Gap: Although audiovisual media are widely discussed, empirical classroom-based evidence on the use of animated videos for senior high school listening instruction in time-limited contexts remains limited. Aims: This study aims to examine whether the use of animated videos as learning media supports students’ English listening skill development within restricted classroom time. Results: Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design with tenth-grade students, the findings show a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by normality testing and a paired sample t-test with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Novelty: The study provides contextual evidence from a senior high school setting where animated videos had not previously been integrated into English instruction, addressing teacher concerns about practicality and classroom time limitations. Implications: The results suggest that animated videos can serve as a practical digital learning medium to support listening instruction, offering educators an alternative strategy for delivering procedure text material and managing limited instructional time in English language classrooms. Highlights: Statistically significant score differences were identified between assessments administered before and after the learning intervention. Quantitative testing confirmed that the collected data met normality requirements for hypothesis analysis. Classroom application demonstrated the feasibility of audiovisual materials under restricted instructional time conditions.

Abstract

General Background Vocabulary mastery is a fundamental component of English as a Foreign Language learning and supports the development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, particularly in secondary education contexts. Specific Background Alongside the growth of digital learning technologies, mobile applications such as Duolingo have been increasingly integrated into English Language Teaching due to their accessibility, gamification features, and interactive learning design. Knowledge Gap Despite growing interest, empirical classroom-based evidence focusing specifically on junior high school students’ vocabulary mastery using Duolingo remains limited, especially within Indonesian EFL settings employing structured pre-test and post-test measurement. Aims This study aimed to examine whether the use of Duolingo as a digital learning medium contributes to measurable improvement in English vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students. Results Using a quantitative pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 32 junior high school students, statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, with a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, indicating notable vocabulary improvement after Duolingo-based instruction. Novelty The study provides focused empirical evidence on vocabulary mastery outcomes from Duolingo-supported instruction at the junior high school level within a classroom-based EFL context. Implications The findings suggest that Duolingo can serve as a supportive digital medium for vocabulary learning in secondary EFL classrooms and offer a practical reference for educators integrating mobile-assisted language learning into formal instruction. Highlights: Statistically significant score differences were observed between pre-test and post-test measurements. Learner engagement increased during gamified digital learning sessions. Mobile application use supported structured vocabulary practice in classroom instruction. Keywords: Duolingo, Vocabulary Mastery, EFL Learning, Junior High School, Mobile Assisted Language Learning
