Vocabulary plays an essential role for the students in acquiring a language because it is used to express thoughts, ideas, and information. However, due to its broad materials and time limit provided by the school, vocabulary cannot be studied optimally. As for it, the students should be more aware to learn the vocabulary independently, for example by utilizing the use of online language learning application, such as Duolingo. Therefore, this research is conducted to investigate the students’ reflection regarding their vocabulary learning using Duolingo Application. The participants of this research are three junior high school students in Cimahi, because the students meet the Duolingo’s curriculum target. The method of the research is a case study design. To acquire the data needed in this study the instruments used are interview and observation. From all the data obtained, researcher finally concludes that the students reflect positive attitudes toward the Duolingo application due to its advanced features. The students become more challenged to play the application and feel less worry because Duolingo provides them with many immediate feedbacks, well-structured materials and appreciation tags which can ease, motivate and reassure the students to achieve their learning goals. Nevertheless, the students face some drawbacks, such as the unnatural sentences, repeated questions, and lack of grammar guide. Even though, the students use the third party to manage the problem emerged.

Abstract

From my experience of four years of teaching basic English language skills development courses in two different Universities of Bangladesh, I found that – students with a tendency to be 'integrated with' the culture that comes with the language being taught, have a higher motivation to perform better than other students in classroom communication, as well as in formal exams. In this gender specific case study, focusing on the female students who have done basic English skill development courses with me in two specific universities of Bangladesh, I have attempted to figure out - whether their integrative motivation towards the target language (English) culture is the main driving force to learn English better, or whether is it their instrumental need to learn that particular language that makes them better learners of English. Through personal interviews with my research participants, who showed better competence and obtained better grades than others in my Communicative English class - I tried to figure out their root of motivation to master linguistic competence. In this case study, I have considered Gardner and Lambert's (1972) distinction of integrative and instrumental motivation as my primary source.
