Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyze how using the Duolingo app has affected the speaking abilities of seventh-grade students at SMPS Nur Hasanah Medan. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach which included five students as subject of the research. Information was gathered through observation and interviews. The result suggest that using Duolingo has helped improve students' speaking skills, especially their confidence and pronunciation. Most students expressed that they enjoyed learning with Duolingo because it provided a fun, non-threatening, and interactive learning environment. Students demonstrated noticeable improvements in fluency, vocabulary use, and motivation to speak English. However, some challenges remained, especially in terms of spontaneous speech and constructing complex sentences. In other words, Duolingo can be an effective supplementary tool in improving students’ English-speaking skills, though it should be accompanied by guided instruction to develop deeper communication competence.

Abstract

Listening is a crucial skill in English language learning, yet many first-semester English Education students face challenges in comprehending main ideas, understanding details, and adapting to various accents. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of TEDx Talks as a supplementary medium to enhance students’ listening skills, engagement, and autonomous learning. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 17 students who participated in an online survey using a 14-item Likert-scale questionnaire. The questionnaire measured students’ perceptions of comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, recognition of idiomatic expressions, and confidence in listening. The results show that the majority of students responded positively to TEDx Talks, reporting improvements in understanding main ideas, expanding vocabulary, recognizing intonation patterns, and increasing motivation for independent learning. However, some students still experienced difficulties with specific details and unfamiliar accents. These findings suggest that TEDx Talks can serve as an effective supplementary resource to provide authentic, context-rich input, support receptive skill development, and foster learner autonomy. Integrating TEDx Talks into listening courses can therefore enhance both comprehension and motivation, contributing to more effective English language instruction for students at the early stages of proficiency.
