The Exploration of Duolingo Application for Vocabulary Building and Pronunciation of Pre-Service Teachers
Betri Virga Erizara, Suciana Wijirahayu English Education Program, Universitas Muhammadiyah Prof. DR. HAMKA, Indonesia DOI: 10.37729/scripta.v11i1.5081
Abstract: Teaching and learning vocabulary and pronunciation is challenging for foreign language learning. Currently, the majority of vocabulary and pronunciation teaching in the classroom employs traditional and uninspiring approaches. Conversely, gamification-based technology in the educational environment is believed to facilitate learners’ progress and skills. This study aims to investigate the potential of gamification-based technology media, specifically Duolingo, to enhance prospective English teachers’ English vocabulary and pronunciation skills. This study employed a quantitative approach. The study was conducted at a private university in Jakarta with 72 students as participants. The results of this study indicate that most participants perceive learning a foreign language, particularly vocabulary and pronunciation, through Duolingo as relatively straightforward due to the numerous conversation exercises with diverse vocabulary. Several findings corroborate this regarding Duolingo’s facilities, which include ease of access, variety of topics and information, and a positive effect on learners’ motivation and enthusiasm for learning English. This research implies that Duolingo is an effective tool to support learners in learning foreign languages, especially vocabulary development and English pronunciation, which is easy and enjoyable.
"Duolingo has a variety of topics. It positively affects learners’ motivation."
Now, choose the only one alternative that correctly combine these two ideas using the appropriate conjunction:

“Conversely, gamification-based technology in the educational environment is believed to facilitate learners’ progress and skills”
Now, choose the alternative below in which the underlined word (“Conversely”) is correctly classified:
A teacher asks students to analyze the following text excerpt:
“The project was delayed. Nevertheless, the team worked hard to meet the deadline.”
What does the discourse marker “nevertheless” indicate in this context?
A teacher asks students to analize the following sentence:
“It was raining heavily; therefore, the match was postponed.”
What is the function of the word “therefore”?
“An emphasis on the development of literacy as a fluid concept (Knobel and Lankshear (2014) is one of the most recent advances in twenty-first-century education. To conceptualize literacy, the ability of the learner to make use of language takes precedence in typical Western educational systems. However, as Kern highlights, “literacy is more than a set of academic skills” (2000, 23). It varies depending on the social context and is embedded in cultural practice (Paesani et al. 2016).”
Scientists have found that generally the world feels brighter when you wake up.
People start the day in the best frame of mind in the morning, but end in the worst, at about midnight, the findings suggest, with the day of the week and the season also playing a part.
Mental health also tends to be more varied at weekends but steadier during the week, according to the study led by University College London.
“Generally, things do seem better in the morning,” the researchers concluded.
Mental health and wellbeing are dynamic in nature, and subject to change over short and long periods. However, few studies have looked at how they might change over the course of the day.
Scientists wanted to explore whether time of day was associated with variations in mental health, happiness, life satisfaction, sense of life being worthwhile and loneliness.
People in the study answered questionnaires, with questions such as: “In the past week, how happy did you feel?”, “How satisfied have you been with your life?”, and “To what extent have you felt the things you are doing in your life are worthwhile?”
Factors such as age, health conditions and whether people worked were taken into account.
The results showed that happiness, life satisfaction, and worthwhile ratings were all higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays, while happiness was also higher on Tuesdays. There was no evidence that loneliness differed across days of the week.
There was clear evidence of a seasonal influence on mood. Compared with winter, people tended to have lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms and loneliness, and higher levels of happiness, and feeling that life was worthwhile in the three other seasons.
Mental health was best in the summer across all outcomes. But the season didn’t affect the associations observed across the day, however.
This was an observational study, so it cannot establish cause.
