User Perpections and Experiences : A Study on Duolingo’s Role as an Interactive Learning Media
Abstract
The effects of Duolingo as an interactive language learning platform on language acquisition
and user engagement is examined in this study. Online language learning programs like Duolingo are
becoming more popular, therefore instructors and learners must evaluate their usefulness. This study
evaluates Duolingo's language-learning efficacy. The study examines its effects on learning results,
user engagement, and learning experience. This mixed-approaches study uses quantitative and
qualitative methods to get insights. In contrast, qualitative interview data are thematically evaluated
to better understand user experiences and attitudes. This study uses quantitative and qualitative
methods to evaluate Duolingo's language learning platform. This SMAIM Samarinda study shows that
Duolingo improves pupils' English. Duolingo lets students learn new vocabulary and speak English
despite device limits. Learning and mastering difficult concepts is easy with the app's user-friendly
features. Most participants were motivated, found the app useful and interesting, and used it
occasionally daily. This suggests that Duolingo improves English and makes learning easier in
addition to motivating participants.
