Abstract

Indonesian students often struggle to master English vocabulary due to limited exposure to the language. Effective teaching strategies that cater to students’ needs are crucial for vocabulary acquisition. This study investigates the use of the Educandy game to enhance vocabulary mastery among eleventh-grade students at MA Ihyaul Islam during the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. Employing the collaborative classroom action research (CAR) model by Kemmis and Taggart, the study was conducted over two cycles with 20 eleventh-grade students. The researcher collaborated with an English teacher in planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting on the game-based learning sessions. Various instruments were used, including observation sheets to monitor game implementation, interviews to explore related issues, and field notes to document all research activities. The findings indicate that the Educandy game significantly improved vocabulary mastery among the students. This digital tool engaged and motivated the learners, fostering active participation in vocabulary learning. All students met the minimum completion criteria in both cycles. The CAR approach facilitated continuous improvements based on observations, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the study.

Abstract

This research examines the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in enhancing the vocabulary achievement of eleventh-grade students. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compares the vocabulary acquisition of students who used the Duolingo app with those who did not. The experimental group received the Duolingo app as treatment, while the control group received conventional instruction without additional intervention. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to both groups to assess vocabulary skills before and after the treatment. The study was conducted at SMA Nusantara, involving 31 students from eleventh grade A and B. Data collection was taken from multiple-choice tests to measure vocabulary acquisition. Statistical analyses, including independent t-tests, were performed using SPSS 26.0 to compare the vocabulary mastery of both groups. Results indicate that students in the experimental group, who used the Duolingo app, demonstrated significantly higher vocabulary scores compared to the control group. The students who have been taught the Duolingo application get better grades than those who have been taught the traditional method. The findings highlight the efficacy of incorporating technology, such as the Duolingo app, in language learning to improve vocabulary acquisition among students. Further research could explore the long-term effects of using Duolingo and its applicability in diverse educational settings.
