Abstract

This study aims to describe students' practices and perceptions in using the Duolingo application for English learning at SMP Negeri 25 Bulukumba. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving eight eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation checklists and semi-structured interviews. Observation was conducted to directly examine students' learning practices when using the Duolingo application, while interviews were used to explore students' practices and perceptions in greater depth. The data were analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, as outlined in the analytical model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The findings revealed that students' learning practices aligned with the three phases of Self-Regulated Learning (Zimmerman, 2002): forethought, performance, and self-reflection. Students actively set learning goals, consistently used Duolingo features, engaged in various learning activities, and evaluated their learning progress. Perceptions, as indicated by the Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989), indicated that students had positive attitudes toward the Duolingo application. They considered it useful in supporting the development of vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills. In addition, they found the application easy to use, flexible, and engaging, thanks to its user-friendly interface and gamification features. Overall, the findings indicate that Duolingo supports students' independence, motivation, and the effectiveness of English learning. The application has the potential to serve as an innovative mobile-assisted language learning tool that enhances English instruction at the junior high school level.Keywords: Duolingo, learning practices, student perceptions, Self-Regulated Learning, Technology Acceptance Model.

Abstract

English language learning in Indonesian secondary schools continues to face challenges, particularly in developing balanced mastery of the four core language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. One of the contributing factors is the limited use of interactive digital learning media that can actively engage students in the learning process. This study aims to examine students’ improvement in English achievement through the use of the Nearpod application as a digital learning medium. The study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The participants were students of SMA IT Al-Fatih Makassar who received English instruction using Nearpod-based learning activities. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments covering the four English language skills. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis to identify changes in students’ achievement before and after the implementation of Nearpod. The findings reveal that students demonstrated improvement in English achievement after the intervention, with more noticeable changes in listening and reading skills compared to writing and speaking skills. The results suggest that the integration of Nearpod can support students’ learning improvement, particularly in receptive language skills, within the context of English as a foreign language instruction.Keywords: English achievement, students’ improvement, Nearpod application, digital learning media, EFL
