Abstract

Low levels of active participation and learning motivation remain persistent challenges in English language classrooms that rely heavily on lecture-based instruction and textbook-centered practices. Such conventional approaches often create a monotonous learning environment, particularly in reading activities that require sustained attention and cognitive engagement. These conditions call for more interactive and learner-centered strategies that align with students’ digital learning preferences. One potential alternative is Kahoot!, a game-based quiz platform designed to promote competition, enjoyment, and immediate feedback. This article examines the implementation of Kahoot-based learning as an innovative strategy to enhance students’ reading exercises. Reading is a fundamental language skill; however, learners frequently encounter difficulties due to limited motivation and minimal engagement in traditional instructional settings. By integrating Kahoot into reading activities, classroom interaction becomes more dynamic, participatory, and student-centered. The study aims to investigate how Kahoot-based learning supports reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and learning motivation. The research method involves administering reading exercises through Kahoot quizzes and observing students’ responses and performance during the instructional process. The findings indicate that Kahoot-based learning increases active participation, strengthens motivation, and improves comprehension through instant feedback and competitive elements. Moreover, it fosters a positive classroom climate and encourages collaborative learning. Therefore, Kahoot-based learning represents an effective alternative strategy for improving students’ reading skills.

Abstract

Pronunciation is a component of spoken English because it affects intelligibility and learners’ confidence in oral communication, yet it often receives limited attention in english classrooms. Mobile language-learning applications offer additional opportunities for practice beyond classroom time. This study explored students’ perceptions of Duolingo as a supplementary tool for pronunciation practice and identified the benefits and challenges they experienced while using it. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the study involved 21 third-semester students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Delta Sidoarjo. Data were collected through closed and open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that many students perceived Duolingo positively, particularly for supporting repeated listening and speaking practice, providing immediate feedback, and fostering motivation and confidence through gamified features. Interview responses further showed that Duolingo encouraged regular practice in a low-pressure learning environment. However,limitations were reported, including inconsistent voice recognition accuracy, insufficient phonetic or articulatory guidance, and limited emphasis on sentence-level pronunciation practice. Overall, Duolingo is perceived useful for basic pronunciation practice and motivation, but it is not considered a substitute for teacher-led instruction. Integrating Duolingo with classroom pronunciation guidance is recommended to optimize learning outcomes.
