Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of word puzzles as an innovative teaching medium in improving seventh-grade students’ vocabulary mastery at SMP Muhammadiyah Pangsid, Indonesia. The research was driven by the students’ persistently low vocabulary proficiency, which stemmed from conventional, teacher-centered methods that lacked engagement and failed to promote active learning. Employing a quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the study involved 21 seventh-grade students selected through total sampling. Vocabulary mastery was assessed using a 50-item test consisting of 10 multiple-choice items and 40 word puzzle items covering syllabus-based topics (animals, school objects, occupations, parts of the body, and daily activities). Data collected from pretest and posttest were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, given the non-normal distribution of the data. The findings demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the intervention. The mean score rose substantially from 16.33 in the pretest to 72.62 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test produced a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. These results confirm that word puzzles effectively enhance vocabulary acquisition by increasing student motivation, participation, and retention in an EFL context. The study recommends the integration of word puzzles as a practical, low-cost, and engaging alternative to traditional vocabulary instruction, particularly in junior high schools with limited resources.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study examined the effectiveness of AI chatbot-based English learning methods, specifically using TalkPal AI, in improving eleventh-grade students’ speaking skills at SMAN 11 Sidrap, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed for the quantitative phase, while semi-structured interviews provided qualitative insights into students’ perceptions. The experimental group (n = 18 for post-test) engaged in interactive speaking practice with TalkPal AI, while the control group (n = 14) received conventional teacher-centered instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-speaking tests assessed using Brown’s (2004) rubric across five components fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, vocabulary, and coherence and interviews with ten purposively selected students from the experimental group. Quantitative analysis revealed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher post-test mean score (M = 23.17) compared to the control group (M = 12.57). The Mann-Whitney U test confirmed a statistically significant difference between groups (p < 0.001), indicating the effectiveness of the AI chatbot intervention. Qualitative findings showed overwhelmingly positive perceptions: students reported increased confidence, motivation, fluency, pronunciation, and reduced speaking anxiety, attributing these gains to the chatbot’s interactive, non-judgmental, and flexible learning environment. Minor challenges included unstable internet connections and initial familiarity with the application. The results demonstrate that AI chatbot-based methods, such as TalkPal AI, constitute an effective and innovative approach for enhancing EFL learners’ speaking proficiency in secondary education contexts. Pedagogical implications for technology-integrated language teaching and recommendations for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of integrating Wordwall in enhancing students’ enthusiasm and English vocabulary achievement among eighth-grade students at UPT SMP Negeri 4 Panca Rijang. Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in language learning; however, many students experience low motivation and limited engagement due to conventional teaching methods. Therefore, the use of interactive digital media is considered a potential solution to address this issue. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group taught using Wordwall and a control group taught through conventional methods. The sample consisted of 45 students. Data were collected through a vocabulary achievement test (pre-test and post-test) and an observation rubric measuring students’ enthusiasm. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired and independent sample t-tests. The findings revealed that students taught using Wordwall showed a significant improvement in both vocabulary achievement and learning enthusiasm compared to those taught using conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated higher levels of active participation, motivation, and cognitive engagement during the learning process. The integration of Wordwall as a digital game-based learning medium is effective in improving students’ enthusiasm and vocabulary achievement. It is recommended that English teachers incorporate interactive digital tools such as Wordwall to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

The reason to choose this title because it was found that many students had low motivation to learn English. Most of them considered English difficult to understand and irrelevant to their daily communication. This study aimed to explore how the use of Wordwall enhances students’ motivation in learning English and to examine students’ responses toward its implementation in the classroom at SMP Negeri 2 Pitu Riase. The study focused on identifying changes in students’ motivation, participation, and engagement before and after the use of Wordwall as a learning medium. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The data were collected through open-ended interviews (pre-intervention and post-intervention), classroom observations, and documentation. The participants consisted of 10 seventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that the use of Wordwall significantly enhanced students’ motivation in learning English. Before the implementation, students tended to feel bored, less interested, and passive during the learning process. After using Wordwall, students became more enthusiastic, active, and confident in participating in classroom activities. In addition, students responded positively to the use of Wordwall as it created a more interactive, enjoyable, and engaging learning environment. Overall, Wordwall proved to be an effective digital learning medium to improve students’ motivation and participation in English learning.
