Abstract

Language learning in secondary education increasingly integrates technology to address persistent challenges in students’ English proficiency, particularly vocabulary mastery. Vocabulary plays a crucial role in supporting all language skills, and limited lexical knowledge often hinders students’ ability to communicate effectively. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in enhancing English vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students at SMPN 3 Sikur. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest and post-test design. The participants consisted of 20 students from class VIII B, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 40-item multiple-choice vocabulary test administered before and after the treatment. The treatment involved regular use of the Duolingo application over a specified instructional period. The instrument demonstrated high reliability, with a KR-20 coefficient of 0.82. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22, including descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and a paired samples t-test. The results revealed a substantial increase in students’ mean vocabulary scores, from 42.25 on the pre-test to 73.00 on the post-test. The paired samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of Duolingo in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. These findings suggest that Duolingo, as a mobileassisted language learning tool, can serve as an effective supplementary medium for vocabulary instruction. The study provides pedagogical implications for integrating gamified mobile applications into English language teaching to support learner engagement and vocabulary development.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the Fun Learning for Islamic Learners method on santri responses toward English learning at TPQ At-Taqwa, Sukadana Village. The study was conducted within the framework of a community service program of Universitas Hamzanwadi. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a One Group Pre-Test Post-Test approach was employed, involving 25 santri aged 7 to 13 years selected through purposive sampling from a total population of 45 registered santri. Data were collected using a five-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring santri responses across affective, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions, which was confirmed to be valid and reliable. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test was applied as the primary analytical method following normality testing. The results indicate a statistically significant difference in santri response scores before and after the implementation of the Fun Learning for Islamic Learners method. The study concludes that fun-based, value-integrated English instruction is effective in improving the engagement and responsiveness of young learners in non-formal Islamic educational settings.
