The Effectiveness Of Using The Hello English Application To Improve Vocabulary Mastery On Descriptive Text Of The Tenth-Grade Students Of Sman 5 Pekanbaru
Abstract: This study explores the effectiveness of using the Hello English
application to improve vocabulary mastery on descriptive text of the tenth-grade
students of SMAN 5 Pekanbaru. The research method was a pre-experimental
research design with one group pre-test and post-test. A total of 38 students of class
X.3 became the sample of this study. Data was collected through a multiple-choice
question test with as many as 30 items. The results showed that the students'
average score increased significantly from the pre-test to the post-test after being
given treatment using the Hello English application. This can be seen from the
mean score of the pre-test results, which was 73.11, while the mean score of the
post-test amounted to 92.16. With interesting features involving vocabulary
exercises, educational games, and quizzes, the application can increase students'
motivation to learn English. This application is also useful for students, especially
in learning vocabulary and practicing it through descriptive text. For teachers, this
application can help the learning process with different methods such as gamesbased
learning, interactive exercises, independent learning, contextual, spaced
repetition, and the use of audio-visual media. The findings conclude that the use of
technology-based applications such as Hello English can be an effective alternative
in teaching English, especially in vocabulary mastery.
Keywords: Hello English application, vocabulary mastery, descriptive text, English
