Duolingo, Vocabulary Mastery, Language LearningAbstract
Language learning is crucial for understanding diverse cultures and academic disciplines, with vocabulary mastery being essential for effective communication. This study examines the effectiveness of Duolingo in improving vocabulary proficiency among fourth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah 11 Randegan. Despite the increasing integration of technology in education, there remains a knowledge gap in understanding the impact of such tools on young learners’ vocabulary acquisition. Addressing this gap, the research aims to assess Duolingo’s impact on vocabulary mastery in an elementary school setting. Employing a pre-experimental design, the study involved 21 students who participated in pre-tests and post-tests surrounding a treatment period using Duolingo. Statistical analysis using the paired sample t-test revealed a significant increase in vocabulary scores, with the mean score rising from 75.71 in the pre-test to 88.33 in the post-test.
