The Effect of Artificial Intelligent Technology Used (Duolingo Application) To Enhance English Learning

Abstract

This research aims to figure out the effect of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Duolingo Application to Enhance Speaking and Listening Ability. This study uses a quantitative technique where the researcher conducts experimental research using a quasi-experimental design. This research was completed at Hamzanwadi University with the subjects of this study were all students of second semester with class C English program with a total of 31 students. Where 16 students were the experimental class and 15 students were the control class. The results of the information investigation utilized descriptive statistics in analyzing the data and for hypothesis testing using normality test, homogeneity test, T-test and One Way- ANOVA. The means score for the speaking experimental class is 88.63, then 75.38 for the listening, and for the speaking control class it is 80.53, then 52.13 for the listening. Then with the result of significance (Sig.) 0.000 0.05. In conclusion, that there is an influence by utilizing the Duolingo application to enhance speaking abilities in second semester of Hamzanwadi University in the English Education Study Program for the academic year 2022-2023.

Boosting English Motivation with Mobile Tech: Action Research Among Engineering Students

“…Duolingo was introduced as a versatile resource for learning different skills both within the classroom and beyond, available for students to access at any point. This flexibility led to an increase in students' enjoyment and success in practicing listening and speaking skills, in line with findings by Handini et al (2022). Over the course of six sessions, there was a noticeable shift in students' attitudes towards English learning; they became more engaged and less prone to distractions, attributing to the focused and personalized learning experience facilitated by Duolingo.…”

“…In this study, Quizizz was employed both as a teaching medium and an assessment tool in relation to the specified topics. Similarly, a prior study by Handini et al (2022) on Duolingo demonstrated that students effectively utilized the app as a learning medium, answering questions confidently and fully exploiting the opportunities to enhance their English skills. Furthermore, research by Polakova & Klimova (2023) highlighted the benefits of using natural machine translation (NMT) technology, specifically DeepL, in learning foreign languages.…”
