Abstract

In this digital age, learning English is increasingly accessible through mobile apps. Duolingo and Cake are two popular apps that offer English language learning with different approaches. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Duolingo and Cake apps in improving the English language skills of University of Nias. Using a causal comparative quantitative method, this study involved 20 University of Nias students as participants. Data was collected through pre and post learning tests to measure improvement in English language skills, particularly in terms of grammar and vocabulary. The results showed that the Duolingo application was more effective than Cake. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of application-based learning media in English language learning. However, Duolingo is more recommended for users who want to improve their grammar and vocabulary skills. Ultimately, this study concludes that Duolingo is recommended for users who want to improve grammar and vocabulary, while Cake can offer a more stable learning experience for those who seek consistency in practice. The urgency of this research lies in the increasing need for English language skills in the era of globalization. By knowing the relative effectiveness of the two apps, learners can choose the app that best suits their learning needs and preferences. In addition, the results of this study can also be a reference for language learning app developers in creating more relevant and effective features. The implication of this research is the importance of considering learners' individual characteristics in choosing learning media.

Abstract

Marine tourism is a strategic sector in coastal development, yet its management is often not optimal. This study aims to analyze the development and promotion of marine tourism at Turedawola Beach, North Nias Regency, and to identify the gap between sustainable marine tourism theory and actual field conditions. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that marine tourism activities at Turedawola Beach remain limited to surfing and basic beach recreation, despite the area’s strong natural potential, particularly its internationally recognized surfing waves. The main challenges identified include limited tourism facilities, low human resource capacity, minimal structured community involvement, and tourism promotion that has not been effectively managed through digital platforms. These findings reveal a clear gap between the concept of sustainable marine tourism and existing management practices. Therefore, collaboration among the government, local communities, and the private sector is essential to improve management, promotion, and the sustainability of marine tourism at Turedawola Beach.
