Abstract

English is an international language that plays a large role in many spheres, not only the national but also the global. The purpose of this study is to assess the impacts of using Wordwall and Baamboozle apps on the improvement of English-speaking skills among junior high school students at SMPN 37 Medan. Both applications offer unique and interesting teaching-learning pedagogy that can perhaps lessen students apprehension towards speaking the foreign language as well as increase their interactiveness during learning. Using a quasi-experimental research design, this study involved a pre-test and post-test to assess students speaking skills before and after the intervention. Quantitative data taken from the speaking skills assessment showed that both apps can improve students speaking skills, with Baamboozle showing a more significant improvement. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics to compare pre-test and post-test scores to determine the improvement of speaking ability. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence supporting the effectiveness of gamification apps in language learning, as well as provide recommendations for educators to integrate technology in their teaching strategies.

In terms of denotation, the music symbol logo depicts entertainment, the green circle with a telephone icon represents communication, or the triangle resembles a speech balloon which represents interaction. In the connotation meaning there is a deeper meaning and evokes an emotional response. For example, bright colors reflect passion and creativity, while blue can be seen as a symbol of trust and stability. After the denotational and connotative meanings are revealed.

Abstract

The research on metadiscourse markers investigation in academic texts has grown very rapidly in the last decade. However, research on interactive metadiscourse markers on EFL students' academic writing is still relatively underexplored. Therefore, this study aims to reveal how the competence of EFL students in the use of interactive metadiscourse in academic writing by comparing two groups of students with different grades, third-semester students and fifth-semester students. The research design is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of 40 students were participating in this research and divided into two groups. Each group consists of 20 students. They were assigned to write a minimum-250-word essay about the importance of English mastery in the disrupted era of 4.0. Around 818 interactive markers were identified in the student’s essay texts. The results reveal that the use of interactive discourse markers in the students' writing was considered still low in quantity. The transition markers were the most dominant found in the text, followed by frame markers, code gloss, endophoric markers, and evidential respectively. Moreover, the students in the fifth semester perform slightly better than their third-semester counterparts at using the interactive metadiscourse markers. However, most of the students in both groups still encountered difficulties to employ the interactive markers in their writing. The lack of practice and the student's native language practice might have contributed to the low quality of the student's writing.
