Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the Quizizz application on vocabulary mastery as part of English learning exercises among tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 2 Panyabungan, focusing on recount text topics. It addresses challenges such as limited vocabulary mastery, low motivation and interest in learning English, and insufficient opportunities for practice. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving experimental and control classes. Data collection included pre-tests, treatments, and post-tests using 20 multiple-choice questions on recount texts. The findings revealed that the experimental class, which used Quizizz, had a higher average post-test score (82) compared to the control class (67.5). Data analysis using the t-test showed a t-count of 4.965 and a sig. tailed (p) score of 0.001, with α = 0.05 and degrees of freedom (df) = 19. Since p < α (0.001 < 0.05), the alternative hypothesis was accepted, and the null hypothesis was rejected. These results indicate that using the Quizizz application significantly enhances students’ vocabulary mastery compared to traditional teaching methods. The study highlights the effectiveness of Quizizz in addressing vocabulary and engagement issues in English learning.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ perceptions of the Talking Stick technique in enhancing English-speaking skills among seventh-grade students at MTsN 4 Mandailing Natal. The technique was implemented as an alternative teaching strategy to promote active, confident, and motivated speaking participation. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method supported by quantitative data. Data were collected from 32 students of class VII-J through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that students’ perceptions toward the Talking Stick technique were dominantly positive, with a mean percentage of 89.7%, indicating a very high level of positive response. Students agreed that the technique made English learning more enjoyable (100%), improved confidence (91%), and reduced fear of making mistakes (78%). Furthermore, it significantly increased students’ motivation and self-confidence, with an average score of 90.6%. However, several challenges remained, including nervousness when speaking (68.8%), limited vocabulary (78.2%), and grammatical concerns (71.9%). Overall, the Talking Stick technique effectively enhanced students’ speaking participation, confidence, and classroom interaction. It is recommended that English teachers use this strategy to create an interactive and supportive learning environment that fosters students’ communicative competence.
