Abstract

Based on the preliminary research at the eighth grade of SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Sirampog Brebes, it was found that the students’ mastery of English learning, especially in writing skills, was still low. Therefore, using the Duolingo application was proposed as a learning medium for writing skills. This research aimed to find out whether there was a significant effect of using the Duolingo application as a learning medium on writing skills in the eighth grade of SMP Muhammadiyah 2 Sirampog Brebes. The method used in this research was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. There were two classes involved in this study, namely VIII B as the experimental class and VIII A as the control class. To collect data, the researcher conducted a pretest and posttest. Then, the test results were analyzed by IBM SPSS V 25 for Windows by using the N-gain score. The N-gain score of the experimental class was 0.57, while the N-gain score of the control class was 0.13. Based on the level of effectiveness, if the score is 0.3 < N-gain < 0.7, it means the level of effectiveness is medium. The experimental class had an N-gain value higher than the control class. The difference in the average N-gain score between the experiment class and the control class showed that this Duolingo was medium effective as a learning medium in writing skills.
