Abstract

The present study examined whether the Kahoot application influenced the grammar proficiency of eleventh-grade students at SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. Contextual grammar is crucial in the writing learning process; however, students frequently struggle with writing tasks, largely due to insufficient grammar knowledge. This paper employed a quantitative methodology with a true experimental design. Pre-test and post-test were utilized to evaluate the data. The sample comprised 280 eleventh-grade students from SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. Cluster random sampling was employed to generate the experimental and control groups. The researcher designated XI-F1 as the experimental group, the Kahoot application was used to provide instruction, while XI-F2 served as the control group, taught using traditional paper-based methods. The data analysis was conducted using an independent sample t-test in SPSS 19. A subjective test was also conducted to measure the students’ grammar skills in the form of creating an analytical exposition text. The findings indicated that the significance (2-tailed) of 0.000 is less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05), leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Therefore, it can be concluded that the Kahoot application has a positive and significant influence on eleventh-grade students’ grammar proficiency at SMA Wachid Hasyim 2 Taman. The integration of Kahoot as an interactive and gamified learning tool has the potential to serve as an effective strategy to improve students’ grammar mastery.

Abstract

Studi ini mengkaji pentingnya kemahiran bahasa Inggris, dengan fokus khusus pada peran kosakata, dalam lanskap pendidikan global. Ini mengeksplorasi penggunaan media interaktif, khususnya aplikasi Duolingo, sebagai alat untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kosakata siswa dalam konteks bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengadopsi strategi “single-group pre-and post-test” dalam desain pra-eksperimental, yang melibatkan 30 siswa kelas tujuh SMP Al Falah Ketintang Surabaya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian bahwa siswa yang berlatih menggunakan Duolingo meningkatkan penguasaan kosakatanya. Analisis statistik, meskipun ada beberapa distribusi yang tidak normal, tidak menunjukkan variasi yang jelas antar kelompok (eksperimental dan kontrol). Hal ini menekankan potensi Duolingo dalam mendorong pertumbuhan kosakata. Studi ini diakhiri dengan saran untuk penelitian lebih lanjut, dengan menyoroti peran Duolingo dalam meningkatkan pengalaman belajar bahasa dan keterlibatan siswa.
