Abstract

This study aims to find out the effect of Interactive Learning Media, specifically Quizlet, on increasing students’ English vocabulary at SMPN 19 Bulukumba. A quantitative approach was applied, using a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample consists of 27 eighth-grade students. Data were collected using vocabulary tests covering three aspects: word meaning, word use and word spelling. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired sample t-test and N-Gain analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The findings showed a significant improvement in students’ English vocabulary after the implementation of Quizlet. The mean score increased from 54.04 in the pre-test to 73.96 in the post-test. A paired sample t-test produced a t-value of -16.613 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. Furthermore, the N-Gain analysis yielded an average score of 0.439, which falls into the moderate improvement category, indicating that students experienced a significant enhancement in their vocabulary. Among the three vocabulary aspects, word spelling showed the highest improvement, followed by word meaning, while word use showed a moderate increase. These findings indicate that Quizlet, as an interactive learning media is effective in increasing students’ English vocabulary at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the differentiated learning approach on EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition at the junior high school level. Vocabulary is a fundamental component of language learning; however, many EFL students still experience difficulties due to differences in readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. Although differentiated learning has been widely discussed in previous studies, its empirical implementation in improving vocabulary acquisition in junior high school EFL contexts remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether the differentiated learning approach significantly affects students’ vocabulary acquisition. This study employed a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group. The population consisted of all ninth-grade students at UPT SMPN 3 Kelara, and the sample was selected through purposive sampling, involving two classes as the experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests, and analyzed using statistical tests to measure the differences between groups. The findings revealed that the experimental group demonstrated significantly greater improvement compared to the control group. The mean score of the experimental group increased substantially from 30.71 in the pre-test to 65.95 in the post-test, indicating the effectiveness of differentiated learning in enhancing students’ vocabulary acquisition. In conclusion, the differentiated learning approach significantly improves EFL students’ vocabulary acquisition and provides an effective alternative to conventional teaching methods in promoting student-centered learning at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study investigated the implementation of the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) Cake application in supporting EFL students' speaking practice at Al Ikhlas Islamic Boarding School Ujung Bone. An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was used. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 35 tenth-grade students who had used the Cake application, followed by semi-structured interviews with seven selected participants. The findings indicate that students perceived the application as a useful tool for speaking practice because it increased motivation and self-confidence, reduced speaking anxiety, and encouraged positive attitudes toward technology-assisted language learning. Students also valued its engaging materials, interactive speaking activities, pronunciation feedback, and flexible access, which supported more frequent practice beyond the classroom. The study concludes that the Cake application can serve as a complementary MALL tool for supporting speaking practice in EFL contexts by promoting motivation, confidence, and active engagement. However, the findings represent students’ perceptions rather than objectively measured improvements in speaking performance.
