The Effect of Using Duolingo App on Vocabulary Learning among Seventh-Grade Junior High School: Pengaruh penggunaan Aplikasi Duolingo terhadap Pembelajaran Kosakata Siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama Kelas VII
Vocabulary acquisition is a crucial component of English language learning, particularly for junior high school students. Traditional instructional methods, such as rote memorization and textbook-based teaching, often fail to sustain learner motivation or support long-term retention. In response, digital applications like Duolingo have emerged as innovative tools due to their gamified and interactive features. Despite Duolingo’s global popularity, its application in Indonesian classroom settings remains limited, and research on its effectiveness in secondary education is still lacking, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Duolingo in enhancing vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Tanggulangin. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed with 23 students. The participants received a one-week Duolingo-based intervention, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests the results revealed a significant improvement in vocabulary scores (from 55.87 to 82.61, p = 0.000), indicating that Duolingo positively impacts vocabulary acquisition

The management of sewage sludge is an urgent and crucial component of domestic sanitation systems, directly impacting public health and the environment. In Indonesia, the challenges associated with waste management have become increasingly complex due to population growth and the rising demand for adequate sanitation infrastructure. This study aims to identify the factors influencing the performance of domestic wastewater management operators and to provide recommendations for enhancing service quality. This research design uses a mixed method, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were obtained from a survey of 106 respondents. While qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data analysis was carried out using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), while qualitative data analysis used a thematic approach. The research findings indicate that there are two primary factors influencing the performance of sewage sludge management, namely Financial Management and Human Resources, as well as Service Provision and Operational Efficiency. These two factors are interrelated, demonstrating that there is significant potential for improvement. Improved financial management, along with enhancements in operational capacity and human resources, is essential for increasing the system's efficiency. This study provides significant contributions to the understanding of sewage sludge management in developing countries. The research highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates financial, operational, and human resource factors to achieve more sustainable sanitation management in Indonesia. Further research is eagerly anticipated to explore the role of public-private partnerships and community engagement in enhancing sanitation management
