Abstract

In an increasingly digitalised educational landscape, integrating mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) tools has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance communicative competencies in English, particularly among high school learners. This study explores the effectiveness of the Duolingo application combined with a self-directed learning (SDL) approach in improving English-speaking skills among high school students. Using a quantitative research design, the study was conducted with 57 eleventh-grade students from UPTD SMAN 1 Aralle during the 2024-2025 academic year. Pre-test and post-test assessments measured students' speaking abilities before and after using Duolingo over a designated period. The results revealed a statistically significant improvement, with an average difference of -17.22 between pre-test and post-test scores, supported by a t-value of -8.92 and a significance level of 0.000. This indicates the significant positive impact of Duolingo's interactive features, gamification elements, and self-paced learning model in enhancing students' confidence and competence in speaking English. This research fills a gap in existing studies by focusing on speaking skills and provides practical recommendations for integrating technology into educational practices. It emphasizes the role of teacher guidance, consistent student engagement, and curriculum design to maximize the benefits of technology-driven learning.

Abstract

Writing a thesis proposal is an important part of undergraduate education. However, many students face difficulties in writing a thesis proposal, such as selecting an appropriate topic and systematic preparation. In technological developments, ChatGPT can help students in the process of writing a thesis proposal by providing writing assistance, critical thinking, and other information. This research aims to gain the perception and challenges of students in using ChatGPT in assisting them writing their thesis proposals. To get to these aims, the researcher implemented a research and development design by using qualitative methods.. This research was conducted at Al Asyariah Mandar University . The subjects of this research were the seventh semester students of Mathematic Education and Bahasa Indonesia Education in the academic year 2023-2024. In this study, students will be interviewed and asked to share their experiences, the effectiveness and challenges on the assistance of chatgpt in writing their thesis proposals. In the interview results, ChatGPT helps users in finding thesis proposal titles, give information and ideas in building introductions, and providing alternative solutions to deepen the understanding of the proposal. It is important to consider and verify information with more reliable and accurate sources. The use of ChatGPT in writing thesis proposals is an interesting and effective alternative, but users also need to remain critical and selective in utilizing it. In further research, more interviews and case studies need to be conducted to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the use of ChatGPT in writing thesis proposals. Although ChatGPT has limitations, respondents consider its use to improve productivity and learning efficiency. Therefore, the use of ChatGPT can be considered as an attractive alternative in writing thesis proposals, while maintaining a critical approach in utilizing it and verifying the information provided.
