Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating the Mind Mapping model through the Canva application in improving students’ recount text writing skills at SMKN 1 Kediri. Writing recount texts plays a vital role in language learning, as it enables students to narrate personal experiences in a structured and chronological way. However, many vocational students struggle with limited vocabulary, poor text organization, and low confidence in writing. To address these issues, this research employed a quasi-experimental design using pre-test and post-test methods in two eleventh-grade classes. One class was taught recount writing using manual mind mapping, while the other applied Canva-based digital mind mapping. Students’ works were assessed using the COVLM rubric (Content, Organization, Vocabulary, Language, and Mechanics), and the data were analyzed through t-tests and N-Gain. The findings indicate that although both groups improved, the Canva-based group showed significantly higher gains in organization, engagement, and writing quality. Students also demonstrated greater enthusiasm and confidence when using digital tools. The study concludes that Canva-based mind mapping is more effective than manual techniques in enhancing recount writing skills and can serve as an innovative strategy for EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in improving vocabulary mastery among tenth-grade students at SMAN 3 Kediri. Many EFL learners in Indonesia face challenges transitioning from passive word recognition to active usage, compounded by a lack of engaging, technology-based instruction. The research used a pre-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measurements over a two-week intervention. Students completed daily 15-minute Duolingo sessions focusing on everyday vocabulary topics. Results revealed significant improvement in vocabulary scores, with an average increase of 18% from pre-test to post-test. Qualitative observations also indicated higher engagement and motivation, attributed to Duolingo’s gamification features and multimodal learning approach. The findings highlight the potential of integrating mobile-assisted language learning tools into formal education, especially in contexts where traditional methods dominate. This research contributes to pedagogical strategies for EFL classrooms, emphasizing technology integration to enhance vocabulary retention and active use.
