Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how much influence the kahoot application has in evaluating junior high school students' word mastery which can be improved through the Kahoot application as a learning medium. This study used a quantitative approach. The sample size for this study consisted of 35 junior high school students in one class, namely class 8-3. The use of Kahoot in this study went through pre-test and post-test stages. The results of student assessment in the pretest or before the application of learning media reached an average of 74.85 with a poor category, and the results of student assessment in the posttest or after the application of Kahoot learning media reached an average of 83.00 with a good category. Therefore, there is a difference between the pretest and posttest results. The Shared Sample Test results show that the significant value (sig2-tailed) of 0.006 is below 0.05, which indicates that the t-table is the t-statistic. Therefore, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which indicates that students of class VIII-3 of SMP IT Daarul Istiqlal Marindal I experienced a much greater increase in vocabulary after using Kahoot learning media.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of a multisensory approach in teaching vocabulary to dyslexic students in an inclusive junior high school English classroom in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative case study involving one English teacher selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis of lesson plans, and non-participant classroom observations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis with methodological triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings revealed that multisensory elements were present in classroom practice, particularly through visual and auditory activities such as PowerPoint presentations, pronunciation modeling, and repetition exercises. However, kinesthetic and tactile components were limited and were not systematically integrated into the instructional process. Vocabulary learning was also embedded within grammar-focused lessons rather than being explicitly structured as a lexical learning objective. These findings indicate that although multisensory techniques were used in the classroom, their implementation remained implicit and did not yet reflect a structured multisensory instructional framework. The study highlights the need for more deliberate multisensory instructional design to support vocabulary development among dyslexic learners in inclusive EFL classrooms.
