Faʿāliyyat Istikhdām Taṭbīq Kuwīzlīt (Quizlet) li Itqān al-Mufradāt ladā Ṭullāb al-Ṣaff al-Sābi’ bi Madrasah al-Mutawassiṭah Nūr al-Taqwā al-Islāmiyyah
Abstract
Mastery of Arabic vocabulary is a fundamental pillar of language learning, yet students at Nur Taqwa Islamic Junior High School struggled to memorize and recall vocabulary because of monotonous, low-interaction traditional teaching methods. This study aimed to answer two research questions: (1) what was the level of Arabic vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students, and (2) how effective was the Quizlet application in improving that mastery. The researcher used a quantitative, pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving a sample of 33 students. The pretest results indicated that students' initial vocabulary mastery fell into the "good" category, with a mean score of 54.85; 58% of students scored below the passing threshold. After the treatment, the posttest mean score rose to 77.42, corresponding to a "very good" category, and the proportion of students in the "excellent" category increased from 9% to 40%. A paired-samples t-test computed with SPSS 26 confirmed a statistically significant difference, with t(32) = -6.521 and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000, well below the 0.05 significance level. These findings indicated that students' initial vocabulary mastery was moderate and that Quizlet effectively enhanced student motivation and facilitated long-term vocabulary retention; therefore, it is recommended as an effective supplementary strategy for teaching Arabic vocabulary.
