Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in improving vocabulary mastery of 10th grade students at SMKN 2 Palangka Raya in the academic year 2022/2023. The traditional teaching method at SMKN 2 Palangka Raya tends to be monotonous and less interactive, thus, less effective in improving students' vocabulary mastery. This study proposes the integration of the Duolingo application as a learning tool to provide a more interactive and engaging learning experience, as well as to enhance students' vocabulary mastery. A quasi-experimental design is used to compare two classes: X MLPB 2 (conventional method) and X AKL 2 (using Duolingo). Both classes consist of 20 students. Quantitative methods, including normality tests, ANOVA, and Post Hoc, are used for analysis. The results show that the use of Duolingo significantly improves students' vocabulary mastery. The average Post-Test scores increased from 51.857 to 80.714 for class AKL 2, and from 44.706 to 75.147 for class MPLB 2. The integration of technology such as Duolingo has proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes. Recommendations from this study include increasing the use of technology in language learning curriculum to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

The application of gamification in English language learning aims to overcome the low motivation and student engagement that often occurs due to conventional teaching methods. This research uses a gamification approach through interactive educational video media designed to deliver vocabulary and grammar materials in an engaging manner. The method was applied in teaching and learning activities and observed to assess student responses and learning outcomes. The results showed an increase in students' enthusiasm, active participation, and understanding of the material taught. Students are more likely to remember vocabulary and understand grammar concepts, and show positive responses to learning that becomes more fun and less boring. The findings confirm that gamification through educational videos is effective in creating an interactive learning atmosphere and improving the quality of English learning.

Abstract

The qualitative research entitled “Diachronic Analysis Swadesh Wordlist: Ngapak vs Java” will focus on examining historical linguistic changes and relationships between Ngapak and Javanese dialects using the Swadesh wordlist. The study will use a diachronic approach to analyze the evolution of vocabulary and phonological aspects over time, providing insight into the linguistic kinship and differences between these dialects. This research applies qualitative methods by utilizing historical-comparative linguistic approaches and corpus-based analysis to identify significant changes and retentions in core vocabulary. The results show that Ngapak dialect tends to retain more archaic phonological and lexical forms, while Standard Javanese undergoes innovation and simplification in a number of basic vocabularies. In addition, it was found that retention, innovation, and external influences distinguish the two dialects, both in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary selection. These findings enrich the understanding of the dynamics of Javanese language change, the importance of local dialect preservation, and contribute to the mapping of linguistic kinship in the Java region.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of code-switching that occurs in the English learning process in the informal tutoring class ProBimbel. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of code-switching used by students, the context in which code-switching occurs, and its sociolinguistic functions in teaching and learning interactions. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with eight prospective ProBimbel students (casis) as subjects who had an Indonesian language background and English language skills at elementary to intermediate levels. The data were collected through direct observation and audio-visual recordings of classroom activities, and were later analyzed using a systematic coding framework to identify the forms of code-switching and interpret their meanings. The results showed that intra-sentential switching was the most dominant type of code-switching (50%), followed by inter-sentential switching (25%) and tag switching (25%). The most frequent code-switching functions included clarification, expressions of misunderstanding, transitions, and opening discussions. These findings suggest that code-switching functions as an adaptive communication strategy and contextually supports the language learning process. In conclusion, code-switching is not a linguistic error but rather a reflection of developing communicative competence.
