Abstract

This study aimed to explore eighth-grade students’ perceptions of using Duolingo to learn English vocabulary at MTs. Al-Hikmah. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, with data collected through semi structured interviews involving students who had experience using Duolingo in their learning process. The data were transcribed, coded, and categorized into four themes: perceptions, motivation, experiences, and challenges. Findings indicated that most students perceived Duolingo positively, describing it as enjoyable, easy to use, and effective for retaining vocabulary. Gamification features such as points, levels, and rewards enhanced students’ motivation to learn. However, challenges included boredom from repetitive content, difficulties in understanding instructions and pronunciation, and technical limitations such as unstable internet access and limited personal devices. Overall, Duolingo proved to be a beneficial supplementary tool for supporting English vocabulary mastery among junior high school students.
