Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki seberapa efektif situs berbasis teknologi digital dan komponen gamifikasi meningkatkan kecepatan dan akurasi siswa di Madina Boarding School Samarinda. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah eksperimen dasar dengan desain pra-tes dan pasca-tes menggunakan platform Monkeytype. Melalui sesi latihan terjadwal yang melibatkan penguasaan 10 jari, latihan teknik cepat dan tepat, serta pengenalan tantangan kompetitif, instruksi yang diberikan untuk membantu siswa fokus dan termotivasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan di sebagian besar kelas, terutama pada kelompok siswa tingkat menengah, dengan KPM tertinggi yang disesuaikan mencapai 54,7 di kelas VIII B. Latihan berulang, penggunaan situs digital, dan lingkungan yang kompetitif telah terbukti meningkatkan kemampuan dan keterlibatan mengetik siswa. Meskipun kelelahan menyebabkan sedikit penurunan hasil ujian akhir, temuan umum menyatakan bahwa menggabungkan latihan yang diselenggarakan dengan aspek gamifikasi merupakan strategi yang berhasil untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mengetik di sekolah.

Gamification website training to accelerate the typing skills of students at Madina Boarding School Samarinda   Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of digital technology-based applications and gamification components in improving the speed and accuracy of students at Madina Boarding School Samarinda. The approach used was a basic experiment with a pre-test and post-test design using the Monkeytype platform. Through scheduled training sessions involving 10-finger mastery, fast and accurate technique practice, and the introduction of competitive challenges, instructions were given to help students focus and stay motivated. The results of the study showed significant improvements in most classes, especially in the intermediate student group, with the highest adjusted KPM reaching 54.7 in class VIII B. Repetitive practice, the use of digital applications, and a competitive environment have been proven to improve students' typing skills and engagement. Although fatigue caused a slight decline in final exam results, the general findings indicate that combining organized practice with gamification aspects is a successful strategy for improving typing skills in schools. This study shows that the principles of a continuous training program will help maximize students' digital literacy growth.

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a fundamental element of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) training, especially via Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications that enhance listening comprehension. Although prior studies have extensively documented the efficacy of Duolingo for general language acquisition, empirical research that rigorously investigates its impact on listening comprehension in the context of Indonesian higher education is few. This study sought to examine the efficacy of Duolingo in improving EFL students' listening comprehension, emphasizing both educational outcomes and learner experiences. This research utilized a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys and semi-structured interviews with first-semester undergraduate English as a Foreign Language students. Quantitative data were subjected to descriptive analysis, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to facilitate data triangulation. The results demonstrated that Duolingo effectively facilitated students' listening comprehension via repeated audio exposure, incremental task advancement, vocabulary guidance, and gamified elements that increased motivation and engagement. Students additionally indicated enhancements in pronunciation awareness and general English proficiency. The study, however, revealed significant problems, notably with robotic and unnatural speech, irregular speaking tempo, and restricted exposure to genuine hearing input.This study provides empirical evidence indicating that Duolingo serves most effectively as an adjunct listening tool when combined with classroom instruction, rather than as a standalone learning medium. These findings offer pedagogical implications for the incorporation of MALL applications in EFL listening instruction within Indonesian higher education
