The objectives of this research are (1) to describe the use of Wordwall
learning media in improving English vocabulary mastery at 7
th grade junior high
school students. (2) to investigate the effect of the Wordwall learning media on
students' English vocabulary mastery. The focus of this study is to determine
whether the use of interactive and game-based digital media such as Wordwall can
significantly improve vocabulary mastery at 7
th grade students in a junior high
school environment.
This study uses a pre-experimental design with one pre-test and post-test
group. The sample consists of 30 at 7
th grade students from one class at SMP
Mujahidin. Data were collected through vocabulary tests conducted before and
after the intervention. The intervention involved the use of Wordwall integrated
into classroom activities over several sessions. Data analysis included descriptive
statistics and a paired t-test to determine the significance of differences between
pre-test and post-test results using SPSS version 29.
The results of the data analysis showed that the interactive learning of the
Wordwall application applied to the experimental class obtained an N-Gain score
of 0.58, which is classified as quite effective. The results of this study showed a
significant increase in students' vocabulary mastery after using the Wordwall
media. These results are further supported by the paired sample t-test, which
showed a sig (2-tailed) value < 0.05, meaning the zero hypothesis (Ho) was
rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. The conclusion is that
the use of the Wordwall application is effective in improving students' vocabulary
in the 7th grade class at SMP Mujahidin Pontianak.
